Bally's Chicago Casino Project Takes Shape with Renderings of Poker Room and Gaming Floor
The construction site for Bally's permanent Chicago casino has been bustling with activity since last month, when a crane went up over the former Tribune printing press site near Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street. The $1.7 billion project is set to open next year and will feature a 3,400-slot casino, 500-room hotel, rooftop pool and bar, restaurants, a 3,000-seat theater, and a public park with a riverwalk extension.
The latest renderings provide an early look at the poker room and gaming floor, which are expected to be popular attractions for gamblers. The poker room will feature dedicated space for various games, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and more. The gaming floor will boast an extensive selection of slot machines, table games, and high-limit slots.
In addition to its casino offerings, Bally's Chicago will also feature a range of dining options, from fine dining restaurants to casual eateries. The rooftop pool and bar will provide a unique spot for guests to enjoy the city views while relaxing in style.
The permanent site is slated to replace Bally's temporary casino at the Medinah Temple, which has been generating modest revenue for government coffers since its opening in 2023. While the temporary casino has done better than expected, Bally's is aiming to exceed projections with its permanent site.
Bally's Chicago will also bring new jobs and economic activity to the area, with construction already underway on the hotel tower and adjacent casino. The project has been met with excitement from local officials, who are eager to see the benefits of a major gaming development in the city.
As the project nears completion, Bally's is expected to apply for a highly coveted license to build a casino in New York City, pending approval from state regulators. The company has already agreed to pay $115 million to the Trump Organization once the license is issued, demonstrating its commitment to this new venture.
With renderings of the poker room and gaming floor now available, it's clear that Bally's Chicago will be a major player in the city's gaming landscape. As construction continues and the project nears completion, fans of gaming and entertainment will be eagerly awaiting their chance to experience the excitement firsthand.

. It feels like they might be trying to cash in on all the foot traffic from the neighborhood, rather than actually adding anything new or unique to the area. And I don’t know about me but I'm not sure how cool it is that they're paying $115 million to the Trump Organization for a license 
. Is that just some shady deal? 
Anyway, I guess it’s gonna be a big player in the city's gaming scene and all that...
I mean, can you think of a better way to spend a Friday night than at the rooftop pool bar with a drink in hand and the city views? The gaming floor is gonna be lit 
, especially the poker room - I've heard they're getting some big-name tournaments lined up. And let's not forget about all the restaurants and dining options... I'm thinking fine dining, casual eats, and maybe even some late-night burgers 
. This could be huge for the city, and I'm all about it!
i mean, we've seen plenty of casinos come and go and they always seem to leave a trail of debt and addiction behind them. how much are they really investin' in the area beyond just the construction costs? 
it's all well and good that bally's is committed to buildin' another casino in nyc, but what makes 'em think this one's gonna be different? 
. but what's really got me hyped is that bally's chicago might just give new york city some serious competition for the next big casino license 
️. $115 million to the trump organization is no joke, and i'm curious to see how that'll all play out 
the poker room looks fire 
i mean, it's gonna be EPIC with that 3k-seat theater and rooftop pool bar lol. and they're really pushing the boat out with the gaming floor - extensive slot machine selection and all that jazz. plus, the public park with riverwalk extension sounds like a game-changer for the area. can't wait to see it come together and check out the poker room vibes 
and what about the jobs? aren't they just gonna displace some local workers who already have steady gigs? 
... as long as they're paying their workers a decent wage, of course 
and I'm low-key hyped for the rooftop pool bar too, imagine sippin' on a cocktail while takin' in the city views 
.
. It's not just about the casino itself, but about the whole experience they're creating. I hope it does well and becomes a major destination for both locals and tourists.
construction is moving fast so fingers crossed they'll open on time next year 
. And can you believe they're even planning a public park with a riverwalk extension? That sounds like so much fun! I'm also loving the idea of all the different dining options, from fancy restaurants to casual spots - something for every taste bud 
.
hotel tower is lookin' fire too, rooftop pool and bar will be a total winner 
️ hope they make good on them dining options too - don't want any foodie disappointments 
500-room hotel? rooftop pool and bar? 
it's gonna be a total game-changer 
or a high-stakes gaming floor? 
The dining options are looking fancy too 
and casual eateries 
too! 
all these new jobs and economic activities?
