Bally’s Chicago Casino celebrates two millionth visitor

27 March 2025

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Bally’s Chicago Casino proudly welcomed its two millionth visitor, Delphia T. from Chicago, IL. Delphia walked into the historic Bally's Chicago at Medinah Temple location and was awarded a grand prize in celebration of this major milestone for the property.

Since opening its doors in September 2023, Bally’s Chicago Casino has become one of the most popular gaming destinations in the state, attracting a steady stream of both new and returning guests. The casino continues to grow in popularity, drawing visitors who enjoy its diverse entertainment offerings and welcoming atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to celebrate this remarkable milestone with our guests and the Chicago community,” said Monica Scott, Vice President of Community Engagement for Bally's Chicago Casino. “Reaching 2 million visitors is a testament to our team’s dedication to providing an exceptional entertainment experience. We remain committed to fostering strong partnerships with local officials and first responders to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all. As we look ahead to the next phase of Bally’s Chicago, we are excited to continue contributing to the city’s vibrant culture and economic growth.”

As part of their grand prize, Delphia received $1,000 in cash, $1,000 in Community Rewards gift cards, and a Chicago-curated gift basket. Additionally, all guests visiting Bally’s Chicago Casino the day of the milestone were gifted a complimentary Bally’s t-shirt while supplies lasted. Guests also had the chance to win up to $200 in Free Play by participating in the 2M Spin & Win from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.

"I walked in thinking, 'Wow, a surprise party!' I was shocked,” said Delphia. “I love Bally’s for its convenience and can’t wait for the permanent location!"

Momentum continues as Bally’s took over the Tribune Freedom Center site back in July 2024, paving the way for its permanent casino resort. The development is set to transform the Chicago riverfront with a 500-room hotel, a 3,000-seat theater, six restaurants, a food hall, and a 2-acre public park. The casino will feature 3,300 slots, 173 table games, VIP gaming, and a 2,000-foot riverwalk extension. This project will create approximately 3,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent positions once it becomes operational.

Bally’s Chicago Casino remains committed to delivering an exceptional entertainment experience while deepening its connection with the city and its guests. This year, we’re turning up the heat with exclusive signature concerts for Bally Rewards members, elevated giveaways like a thrilling three-Porsche giveaway, and more exciting surprises. In celebration of Women’s History Month and welcoming 2 million guests, we’re proudly supporting the Chicago Foundation for Women through our 'Get $5, Get $10' promotion, reinforcing our commitment to community development. Stay tuned for more innovative and dynamic experiences at Bally’s Chicago Casino.
