What does this mean for Bally’s in Chicago? Barring any major issues, a full license was practically a sure thing, and now that has become a reality. The gaming establishment opened its property last month after the company received a temporary permit from the Illinois Gaming Board, bringing the total amount of Illinois casinos to 15. The license will allow Bally’s Chicago - a temporary casino in the Medinah Temple - to operate for another three years.
The Illinois Gaming Board granted Bally’s Chicago a full-fledged license to operate through 2026 Thursday.
