Entering its third year of operation, American Place’s temporary casino in Waukegan is already outperforming a number of Illinois’ permanent gaming establishments and is virtually even with Bally’s temporary Chicago enterprise.
At the same time, plans are nearly complete for a groundbreaking this spring marking the start of construction for the permanent casino, which Alex Stolyar, the senior vice president and chief development officer for American Place owner Full House Resorts, said will open late next year.
Jeff Babinski, American Place’s vice president and general manager, said the casino’s performance grows from paying attention to its customers and continuing to build a loyal clientele.
“This has been an amazing three years,” Babinski said. “We can just imagine what we’ll be able to accomplish when the permanent opens.”
