Winnebago tribe’s plan to put up a casino in Nebraska has been put in the back burner after a proposal to allow casino gambling in the state failed to qualify for the November general election ballot.

For the proposed constitutional amendment to be included in the fall election, proponents needed at least 117,188 valid signatures.

But the more than 41,000 invalid signatures dashed the dream of Ho-Chunk Inc. – the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s economic development corporation – of putting up casino in the state.

Des Moines Register reported that proponents pushing for casino gambling failed to submit enough verified signatures to put the issue before voters.
