Players at the temporary casino can earn and redeem Reward Credits at any of Caesars Entertainment's properties across North America, including both Columbus Casino and the future Harrah's Columbus, NE Racing & Casino. The property is part of the Caesars Rewards loyalty program.

The casino's first players were welcomed during a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Caesars Entertainment leadership, Tom Jackson from Columbus Exposition and Racing, and Mayor Jim Bulkley.Īccording to Don Ostert, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah's Columbus, NE Racing & Casino, the opening of Columbus Casino marks 'a significant milestone' for the Harrah's Columbus project. “With the tremendous support from the community of Columbus, we’re proud to open our doors and welcome guests to the temporary facility for the first time,' said Ostert. Caesars Entertainment has opened its temporary Columbus Casino at Platte County Ag Society Park in Columbus, Nebraska. While the construction of the permanent Harrah's Columbus, NE Racing & Casino is underway, visitors can in the meantime play on over 250 slot machines and bet on horse racing at Ag Park's existing simulcast.
