An Illinois bill could allow Bally's Chicago casino to extend its temporary River North location by up to 18 months.Summary
A bill introduced in the Illinois legislature would permit casino operators in Chicago, specifically Bally's, to extend their temporary licenses by up to 18 months. Bally's currently operates a temporary casino in River North at the Medinah Temple Building while constructing a permanent site along the Chicago River. The bill would allow Bally's to continue operating the temporary casino through September 2027 if necessary, according to a statement from the company. This development suggests the opening of the new facility may be delayed beyond the initially expected timeframe.
