State gambling regulators gave a green light Thursday to Bally’s plans to open a temporary casino in the landmark Medinah Temple, moving the proposal one step closer to opening its doors in River North.
A Chicago landmark since 2001, the Medinah Temple was most recently home to a Bloomingdale’s furniture store and is now set to become a temporary casino.
“We’ve asked the city of Chicago to bet on Bally’s and we’re here to pay that bet off,” Bally’s Corporation Chairman Soo Kim told the board Thursday. Once it opens, Chicagoans and tourists will be able to try their luck at 750 slot machines and more than 50 table games. In December, the Chicago City Council voted 39-5 to approve plans for a permanent casino on what is now the Chicago Tribune’s printing plant and newsroom and to open a temporary casino in the Medinah Temple as early as this summer.
