Bally's Casino Delay Sparks City Tension | Chicago News

Bally’s casino in Chicago is pausing construction over a dispute with the city over video gambling machines, claiming the city broke a 2022 agreement by allowing terminals in bars and stores — a move tied to last year’s controversial budget. Despite the slowdown, Bally’s still plans to open in 2027. Twenty-seven City Council members, many of whom backed the revenue-generating budget change, are now urging Bally’s to resume full development and calling on Mayor Johnson to enforce the original deal — warning that delays could cost thousands of union jobs and undermine promised economic gains.
