The skyline’s changing and so is the game—literally. With Bally’s Chicago’s massive 34-story hotel rising fast and a new Hollywood Casino Aurora on the way, 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point for local gambling. Last year’s new casinos already brought in record crowds and revenue, but these next openings could totally transform how and where Chicagoans play. Plus, with even more projects breaking ground near the Wisconsin border, the region’s entertainment options are about to get a serious upgrade. What do you think—will this casino boom be a win for the city or bring new challenges? #News #Chicago #Casinos
