Bally’s Chicago casino renderings preview poker room, gaming floor

Bally's Chicago Casino Project Unveils Plans for Poker Room and Gaming Floor

Renderings of the permanent Chicago casino have been released, offering an early look at the poker room and gaming floor that will welcome gamblers next year. The $1.7 billion project, set to open in 2025, promises a large slot machine game selection and table games area.

The renderings reveal a sprawling gaming floor with thousands of slot machines, as well as dedicated rooms for poker and baccarat. These areas are expected to drive revenue for the casino.

Construction on the site began last month after being halted temporarily due to concerns about a notorious garbage company at work on the project. State law requires Bally's to start accepting bets at its permanent location by September 2025.

To date, Bally’s has generated $270 million in adjusted revenue since opening a temporary casino inside the historic Medinah Temple in September 2023. This has translated into $41 million for state tax revenue and $33.6 million for Chicago's police and firefighter pensions.

Additionally, Bally’s is awaiting approval of another highly coveted New York gambling license to build a casino next to a Bronx golf course previously owned by Donald Trump. The land deal calls for Bally’s to pay the Trump Organization $115 million once it secures its license.

While the project offers an attractive combination of slots, table games, and exclusive gaming areas, its future remains uncertain due to ongoing investigation into irregularities during construction.

omg can u believe they're finally getting that chicago casino up & running!! i mean $1.7 billion is straight fire for a single casino lol but at the same time, gotta wonder if all this revenue is gonna be going straight to bally's coffers or some of it's actually being used to benefit the community like, those poker rooms and gaming floors are gonna be SO lit!! but idk about that construction controversy, u never know what kinda drama can go down in a high-stakes game like this

OMG u guys 4real casino in chicago is finally gonna open next yr i cant even imagine how lit it's gonna be tho! but what i dont get is why they had 2 pause construction like 1 month ago cuz of some trash company lol who knew garbage could ruff up a billion dollar project anyhoo, lets hope its all good and the poker room & gaming floor turns out amazing

OMG, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW CASINO IN CHICAGO!!! IT'S GOING TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF SLOT MACHINES AND DEDICATED ROOMS FOR POKER AND BACCARAT - THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GAMER'S PARADISE! I mean, who doesn't love the thrill of trying to win big? THE FACT THAT THEY'VE ALREADY MADE $270 MILLION IN REVENUE IS JUST MIND-BOGGLING - YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW MUCH BETTER IT'LL BE ONCE IT'S COMPLETE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

omg i feel u ... like how can we just open a casino without thinking about the ppl who might get addicted? it's not all good vibes, is it? they're making a killing with that poker room and gaming floor but what about the ones who might lose everything? bally's gotta be more responsible than this...

I'm not really sure why they're making such a big deal about this casino . I mean, it's just another place where people can gamble and win some money (or lose it all ). But hey, if the slots are gonna be thousands of 'em, that sounds like a lot of fun to me! I'm also kinda interested in trying out their poker room - maybe one day I'll even manage to win some real money .

But seriously, $115 million to pay off Trump's golf course? That's just crazy talk . And with the investigation into irregularities during construction... it's hard to get too excited about this project. Still, if they can make it work without any major hiccups, I guess it'll be another option for people looking to have some fun and maybe win big .

I'm also curious, how much of the $270 million Bally's has made since opening that temporary casino? That sounds like a pretty sweet chunk of change .

can't believe bally's is gonna make chicago casino happen finally been waiting for this for ages, $1.7 billion is a lot but i guess it'll create jobs & boost the local economy also gotta wonder what kind of slots they're planning to have tho thousands? that's like, insane! btw, hope everything goes smoothly with the construction & licensing process

this is gonna be huge for chicago's economy lol just think about all those cash machines filling up the streets i'm loving that bally's is giving back to the community btw 41 million for chicago cops and firefighters? thats some real change cant wait to try out their poker room and see what kind of players they're gonna attract

idk why ppl think casino's r bad lol they just a way 4 ppl 2 have fun n make some extra cash 2 but i do no like dat they're tryna make $$$ of people's problems n struggles 2 get rich quick. its all about makin that $1.7 billion tho 270 million already made n it's only 2025 lol wut's next?! should bally's just give away some o da money 2 chicago ppl?

man I feel u ... casinos can be so overwhelming but it's cool that they're adding all these new things like poker rooms and baccarat tables... I mean who doesn't love a good game of chance ... the fact that they've already made $270 million in adjusted revenue since last year is insane ... and now they're working on another big project in NYC which could be huge ... but it's also kinda worrying that there's an investigation going on during construction... fingers crossed everything goes smoothly and we get to enjoy some awesome gaming spaces soon

OMG u guys, 1.7 BILLION DOLLARS?!?! that's crazy!!! I'm low-key hyped for the new poker room tho, thousands of slot machines sounds like a dream come true! but seriously, how can they afford this kinda investment? and $115 million to Donald Trump?? lol what's next, a casino at the moon? anywayz, I hope it all goes smoothly and they can start accepting bets in sept 2025
