The Illinois Gaming Board is trying to correct an oversight that raised a few eyebrows. It was recently discovered that the IGB granted a gambling license to a man who previously admitted to having ties to the Chicago mob. Now, gaming officials are looking to reverse that decision.
The agency said it did not know critical information when Jeffrey Bertucci was approved for a state gaming license. Now, the IGB is planning to revoke that license. Bertucci’s Steak N Egger diner in Cicero offers video gaming terminals.
In 2019, the IGB granted a gaming license to Bertucci to legally operate video gaming terminals at his Steak N Egger diner.
