Owners of North Platte gaming business charged with tax evasion

The operators of a “skill game” casino in North Platte have been accused of failing to pay more than $1.5 Million in taxes over the past three years. Mark and Bridget Haneborg, owners of the River Valley Casino, were charged last week following a year-long investigation by the Nebraska Department of Revenue. Court documents filed by the Nebraska Department of Revenue (NDR) claim their investigators determined the Haneborgs earned income of over a million and a half dollars from 2019-2021. The couple, filing a joint tax return, paid only a fraction of the estimated 170 thousand dollars due in taxes and interest, according to the arrest affidavit.
