Here are the Chicago bars and restaurants lining up for video gambling machines
Chicago bars and restaurants in neighborhoods like Beverly, Lake View, and Mount Greenwood have received state approval for video gambling machines but require city approval to operate. Mayor Brandon Johnson seeks to block the machines, fearing competition with the upcoming Bally’s Chicago Casino, while a City Council decision last fall authorized their expansion despite his objections.
