The 111-year-old temple has been outfitted with 750 slot machines and 50 table games.
Regulators were inspecting operations Tuesday at the former Medinah Temple at Wabash Avenue and Ohio Street, where Bally's temporary casino will soon open to the public.
The 111-year-old temple has been outfitted with 750 slot machines and 50 table games, while Bally's builds their permanent $1.7 billion casino at the Chicago Tribune Freedom Center printing plant site in River West."The idea was that we make sure we maximize the revenue for the city, for the fire and pension funds, right? And making sure that that revenue stream starts very quickly," Patel told reporters Tuesday.Executives said over 16,000 people applied for positions.
Table games and more slot machines are located on the second floor, with two restaurants and the VIP/high roller level on the third floor. City officials are hoping they can get as much as $55 million in annual tax revenue from this temporary location, and about $200 million a year from the permanent site.
