Bally’s Readies Temple Site

Block Club Chicago, June 21, 2023

Bally’s Chicago offered members of the media an early look inside its temporary casino location, in the landmark Medinah Temple building at 600 N. Wabash. The three-level venue will feature some 750 slot machines, numerous table games, a café, two restaurants, and a large backlit Circle Bar. The design preserves and highlights historical elements, including the original atrium and stained-glass windows. Casino officials aim to open by the end of summer, pending approval of a gaming license by the state gaming board. DMA has provided development management and owner representation services as Bally’s readies its temporary location and develops a permanent Bally’s Chicago entertainment destination at Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street. The temporary operation is expected to generate $55 million in taxes for Chicago.
