Illinois Gaming Board halts Bally’s Chicago casino construction over vendor
The Illinois Gaming Board ordered construction to stop at Bally’s permanent Chicago casino while it investigates the use of an undisclosed, unapproved waste-removal vendor. Bally’s said it was working with the board on the issue and preparing a new subcontractor-vetting plan; work may resume after the IGB approves that plan.
The stoppage and approval condition could affect the project’s required September 2026 opening date.
