A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Friday to herald the expansion of Bally Kansas City. Bally’s President George Papanier and Chickie’s and Pete’s Founder Pete Ciarrocchi were among those attending the event at the Commercial Center Entrance of the casino.
The expansion features more than 35,000 square feet of new gaming and retail space.
“We are very excited to unveil a transformed Bally’s Kansas City,” said Bally’s Regional Vice President & General Manager – Midwest Michael Donovan in a statement. “From the moment guests arrive, they will be greeted with enhanced dining and gaming experiences. We are grateful for the collaborative work of the city and the hundreds of union members who played a critical role in bringing this expansion to reality over the past two years.”
The expansion includes 200 new slot games and a dedicated high-limit slot area, with more games on the second floor. A new commercial center will host Chickie’s & Pete’s Crabhouse and Sports Bar, with space for additional dining and retail establishments.
According to the company, the casino’s interior and exterior have been renovated to include state-of-the-art lighting elements. Steel frames and fabric panels illuminate the new façade. The renovations also include improved site traffic circulation and multiple available entrances.
