There is a chance that the $1.7 billion permanent Bally's Chicago integrated casino resort, which is scheduled to be constructed at the Freedom Center and open prior to the state-mandated September 9, 2026 deadline, won't materialize.
Regarding the casino, it is anticipated that the permanent resort will have 3,000 employees. There will be a sportsbook, 170 table games, and 3,400 slot machines on the gaming floor. There will also be an outdoor amphitheater, six restaurants, a theater with 3,000 seats, and 500 rooms in a resort hotel.
In order to help finance the larger permanent resort, Bally's was granted permission to open a temporary casino in Chicago. When Bally's Chicago's temporary gaming location inside the Medinah Temple opened in September, it brought in almost $6.7 million.
