Chicago, IL, August 10, 2026 —

Construction at the site of the new Bally’s Casino in Chicago has been temporarily stopped as a result of an ongoing dispute with the city. The halt in progress affects the development of the integrated resort, which includes a casino, hotel, and other entertainment facilities.

The specific details of the dispute between Bally’s Corporation and the City of Chicago have not been fully disclosed. However, sources indicate that the disagreement is significant enough to warrant a pause in the extensive construction work. The timeline for the resolution of this dispute and the subsequent resumption of construction remains unclear.

Bally’s Corporation was awarded the license to develop and operate Chicago’s first casino in May 2022. The project, located on the existing Freedom Center site along the Chicago River, is a multi-billion dollar undertaking. The cessation of work raises questions about the project’s completion date and potential impact on the local economy and job creation promised by the development.

Further information regarding the nature of the dispute and the steps being taken to resolve it is expected to be released as the situation develops. Representatives for Bally’s Corporation and the City of Chicago have not yet provided detailed public statements on the matter.
