The gaming markets of Tennessee<\/strong> and Nebraska<\/strong> maintained strong momentum in May 2026<\/strong>, highlighting the continued expansion of regional gaming activity across the United States. While Tennessee’s online sports betting sector generated nearly US$443 million in wagers<\/strong>, Nebraska’s land-based casino industry reached US$27.1 million in revenue<\/strong>, driven by new casino developments and growing demand for slots and table games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Tennessee, the market is regulated by the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (SWC)<\/strong>, led by Executive Director Mary Beth Thomas<\/strong>. The state reported US$443.0 million in sports betting handle<\/strong> during May, generating US$40.98 million in adjusted gross revenue (AGR)<\/strong> and producing approximately US$8.2 million in tax revenue<\/strong>. Tennessee remains the only U.S. jurisdiction operating a fully online sports betting market without commercial casinos, retail sportsbooks, online casinos, poker rooms, or slot machine gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Licensed operators include FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, Fanatics Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, Bally Bet, Betly, Action 24\/7, ZenSports, VIP Play, and theScore Bet<\/strong>. The state’s betting activity produced a 9.25% hold rate<\/strong>, reinforcing Tennessee’s position as one of the largest online-only wagering markets in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Nebraska, oversight falls under the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission<\/strong>, led by Executive Director Casey Ricketts<\/strong>. The state reported US$27.1 million<\/strong> in casino revenue during May, representing 11.9% year-over-year growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slot machines accounted for US$23.5 million<\/strong>, table games generated US$2.4 million<\/strong>, electronic table games produced US$672,155<\/strong>, and retail sports betting contributed US$523,246<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The state’s top-performing property was WarHorse Casino Omaha<\/strong>, which generated US$9.9 million<\/strong>, followed by WarHorse Casino Lincoln<\/strong> with US$8.1 million<\/strong> and Grand Island Casino Resort<\/strong> with US$5.6 million<\/strong>. Additional contributions came from Harrah\u2019s Columbus Racing & Casino<\/strong>, which reported US$2.3 million<\/strong>, and Lake Mac Casino Resort<\/strong>, which generated US$1.2 million<\/strong> after opening in August 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest figures demonstrate how two very different regulatory models; Tennessee’s fully digital sports betting framework and Nebraska’s rapidly expanding land-based casino sector, continue generating tax revenue, investment, and gaming growth across the U.S. regional market in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
