Speaking as a white guy — thank you to Bally’s and the City of Chicago for excluding me from this scam.

Yeah, this is like low-interest minority loans in inner cities.

The story is far worse than could be imagined.

I live in a far-off suburban area and see many articles about Chiraq’s BIG MONEY maker.
The temp casino is in the former Shriners temple.

“In 2023, city tax revenue from the casino reached just 25% of what city officials had projected, according to the report. In 2024, the casino’s first full year of operations, the casino brought in 47% of what officials expected in taxes for the city, according to the report.”

The clientele are what most would expect and not big spenders.

Everyone knows the winners and can follow them home...

I would not go there in a Bradly IFV with close air support!

Also, another new casino recently opened in a south suburb and is doing well.
