While these numbers are good, they make Bally’s Chicago the state’s second-busiest casino, behind Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, which had revenue of $41.5 million in September. It’s been open just three weeks, yet according to figures published by the Illinois Gaming Board, it has already attracted more than 80,000 people and brought in around $6.7 million in revenue.
Bally’s Chicago Casino, situated in the historic Medinah Temple, has quickly made its mark in River North.
