Bally’s Chicago to Open Temporary Casino at Medinah Temple
Key Points:
- Bally’s Chicago received approval to open its temporary casino at Medinah Temple on December 18.
- The casino will have 600 slot machines and up to 30 table games.
- Medinah Temple, a historic building in the city’s River North neighborhood, will be leased to Bally’s until a permanent casino is built.
- Bally’s won the right to build a casino in Chicago earlier this year, but construction has been delayed due to legal challenges.
- The temporary casino is expected to generate revenue for the city and create jobs during a difficult economic time.
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Chicagoans will have a new place to try their luck this weekend. I can already imagine the sound of 600 slot machines dinging and buzzing away, and I’m sure the table games will be buzzing too. It’s great to see Bally’s finally able to open something in Chicago after all the legal drama. Hopefully, this temporary casino can generate some much-needed revenue and jobs for the city while we wait for the permanent casino to be built. Who knows, maybe some lucky player will hit the jackpot and help kickstart the economy all on their own!
