Bally's Chicago Casino Set to Open at Medinah Temple This Weekend
Practice gaming sessions are set to begin at the former Medinah Temple in Chicago, where Bally's temporary casino is located. The casino could open as early as this weekend pending approval from the Illinois Gaming Board. The facility currently houses 750 slot machines and 50 table games. Bally's is also working on constructing a permanent $1.7 billion casino in River West, which is expected to take up to three years to complete. Some residents are excited about the new casino, while others express concerns about crime and traffic congestion.
