Despite having a ban on gaming, it looks like Naperville will soon be welcoming slots to town.
And it all comes down to zoning.
A gaming parlor with six slot machines plans to open at 1001 E. Ogden Ave. later this year.
While Naperville bars video gaming within city limits, DuPage County allows the practice in unincorporated areas. The planned parlor — which will be called Betsy’$ Slots — will be located in one of those slivers of unincorporated land inside the city.
Owner Benny Salamone says he chose the location because he liked the real estate and the opportunities for business it offered.
“It was perfect, you know?” he said. “It was the perfect opportunity for me to invest (in Naperville).”
