Bally’s Temporary Casino at Medinah Temple Nets $6.7 Million And 80,000 Visitors In First Few Weeks

Bally’s temporary casino at Medinah Temple made almost $7 million during its first three weeks in business, with the River North gambling venue’s soft launch already landing it in the middle of the pack among Illinois casinos, state regulators announced Friday.

Figures released by the Illinois Gaming Board suggest that Chicago’s first casino could fall behind initial city revenue projections — but they also hint at why it could become the most popular in the state. Gamblers have already made more than 80,000 trips through the turnstiles.
