Bally's Chicago casino construction paused amid city dispute over video gambling
TL;DR Summary
Bally's has reset the pace of construction on its permanent Chicago casino in River West after alleging the city breached the Host Community Agreement by failing to curb video gambling terminals; union workers were sent home as talks continue. Bally's says opening remains targeted for early 2027 and may pursue legal action with RKF Global, while the dispute could jeopardize a $4 million community-benefits payment tied to the project.
