Chicago Bally’s Now Open for Sports Betting and Business

Bally’s Chicago, the city’s first casino, opened its doors to patrons this past weekend. Located in River North, the temporary casino is a precursor to Bally’s larger and permanent complex at the nearby Chicago Tribune building site. Featuring 800 slot machines, 50 card tables and two restaurants – including a VIP/high roller level on the third floor – Bally’s promises that both their temporary and permanent casinos will create more than 3,000 construction jobs annually as well as 3,000 operational positions while providing world-class entertainment for all of Chicago.
Construction on Bally’s 777 West Chicago Avenue facility will begin in 2024 with plans for a 500-room hotel; 3 400 slot machines; 173 table games; 10 food venues; an expansive 20 000 square foot museum venue plus a 3000 seat entertainment center. As one of Illinois’ most anticipated openings this year – be sure not to miss out!
