– Chicago could be just days away from having a casino, but even before it opens, it's getting mixed reviews.There was still a bit of business to take care of before the doors could open at Bally's Casino. State regulators will be at the site this week for testing to see if the casino gets the green light from the Illinois Gaming Board. Then, a license could be awarded.
"We are one of the few restaurants right outside their doors so it's good for our business. It's good for our staff," said Robert Komar, general manager of Pizzeria Uno."It's a win all around."The slots are up and running, but the doors remain closed to the public. The Illinois Gaming Board will run testing on Wednesday and Thursday. If approved, the temporary casino could be operational in days. Revenue generated could bring $55 million a year to the city.
Bally's expects to hire over 500 people for the former Medinah Temple location. They said they are ready to handle congestion and safety concerns.
