Weeks after the construction of the Bally’s Chicago casino was halted amid questions about the use of a reputed mob-connected garbage company, the Illinois Gaming Board is allowing work to resume.
But the state government agency, which answers to Gov. JB Pritzker, was mum on details.
The agency released a statement Wednesday saying:
“Today the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) lifted its May 1, 2025, Stop Work Order on construction of the permanent Bally’s Chicago Casino project. The IGB issued the Stop Work Order in connection with undisclosed vendors performing work on the project. Presently, no vendors are working on the casino construction project without IGB approval.”
