Bally's Slows $1.7B Casino Build After Chicago Expands Gambling Rules

Bally's Chicago is slowing construction on its $1.7B casino complex due to the city's approval of video gambling terminals, which it claims violates its 2022 Host Community Agreement. Affected areas include a hotel, events center, and restaurants, impacting 1,500 workers. The casino opening remains early 2027, but other amenities are on hold.
