Gaming revenues at the casino have been disappointing since its opening. The total gross revenue through November was $22 million, which generated $2.2 million in tax revenue for the city. The original forecast for city tax revenues paid by the casino this year was expected to be near $12.8 million.
"Opening our doors 24/7 is an important step as we continue to increase our visitation. For November, we were the second most visited casino in the state, and we saw our highest guest admissions to date. This is a progression towards attaining the goals we set out to achieve and gives us similar hours to other local casino properties."
Mark Wong, GM Bally's Chicago
Now with the new hours, the casino will also operate the Wabash Cafe 24/7. The operating hours for the Kitchen 888 and Medinah Bistro will maintain unchanged.

The $1.7 billion Bally's Chicago Casino may be at risk of never being built. There are two underlying reasons that contribute to this possibility. First, Bally's is reportedly having difficulty raising funds for construction, and second, there are reports of investigations into Mayor Lori Lightfoot's handling of the casino bidding process and the selection of Bally's for the sole Chicago casino license.
FINANCE PROBLEM
Chicago City Alderman Brian Hopkins does not believe Bally's Chicago Casino will never be built and expects the company to eventually drop the project due to lack of funding.
"Bally's has already indicated that they're not in a hurry to start construction. They're years away from it.
"They don't have the money to do it. They were counting on the cash flow from the Medinah Temple site to fund the construction project, and right now, they don't have it. The signs are on the wall that they're going to stay [at Medinah Temple] longer."
- Alderman Brian Hopkins
Bally's operates a temporary casino inside Chicago's Medinah Temple to help finance construction of the permanent casino planned for the Freedom Center. The Medinah Temple revenues are down as the daily visitor totals fell to 2,600 last month from 3,300 in the previous month.
Bally's has a deadline of September 9, 2026 to build the permanent Bally's Chicago Casino.
INVESTIGATION
Bally's is facing federal and local investigations in Chicago's 2022 bidding process and casino selection, according to Crain's Chicago Business. Bally's was selected for the city's casino license in May 2022 over Hard Rock International and Rush Street Gaming.
Crain's reports the US Attorney's Office is looking into complaints from the rival applicants over handling of the process and Bally's selection. In addition, Chicago Inspector General Deborah Witzburg is reportedly looking into the same issues.
