'For November, we were the second most visited casino in the state, and we saw our highest guest admissions to date. This is a progression towards attaining the goals we set out to achieve and gives us similar hours to other local casino properties.' 'Opening our doors 24/7 is an important step as we continue to increase our visitation,' Bally’s Chicago general manager Mark Wong said in a statement.

Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office initially pegged the long-sought casino to rack up $12.8 million for the city this year.īally’s received the green light from the Illinois Gaming Board to operate 24/7, as well as to expand its marketing operations, a plan that also required regulator approval.
