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.

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 
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 
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! 
... 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? 
bally's gotta be more responsible than this... 
). But hey, if the slots are gonna be thousands of 'em, that sounds like a lot of fun to me! 
. 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 
... 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 
... 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
