The Right Choice for the City of Chicago

First-In-Class Casinos and Online GAMING
Unified Under a Preeminent Brand

Bally's Corporation is the premier provider of land-based gaming and online entertainment in the U.S. and we want to bring our knowledge and expertise to the City of Chicago to develop and operate "Bally's Chicago" - a world-class destination resort and casino that Chicago residents and businesses deserve.

Regional Casino Roots

Bally's Corporation is a global casino-entertainment company with a growing omni-channel presence. It currently owns and manages 15 casinos across 10 states, a golf course in New York, a horse racetrack in Colorado, and has access to OSB licenses in 18 states. It also owns Bally's Interactive International, formerly Gamesys Group, a leading, global, online gaming operator, Bally Bet, a first-in-class sports betting platform, and Bally Casino, a growing iCasino platform.

With 10,600 employees, the Company's casino operations include approximately 15,300 slot machines, 580 table games and 3,800 hotel rooms. Upon completing the construction of a permanent casino facility in Chicago, IL, and a land-based casino near the Nittany Mall in State College, PA, Bally's will own and/or manage 16 casinos across 11 states. Bally’s also has rights to developable land in Las Vegas post the closure of the Tropicana. It shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BALY".

Development Through Differentiation

In addition to building its brick-and-mortar casino portfolio, Bally's has recently enhanced its platform by developing online gaming and sports betting offerings that have transformed it into a one-of-a-kind diversified gaming operator. Our Bally Interactive division - created from recent acquisitions of several innovative gaming brands - powers our online gaming efforts with an unmatched ecosystem of products across the sports betting, iGaming, free-to-play, and daily fantasy spectrum.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

Bally’s is committed to diversity and Bally’s Chicago will be no different. Bally’s is leveraging the capabilities of our diverse Chicago-based partners and contractors to build Bally’s Chicago as a world-class destination resort of which Chicago can be proud. We are working with a newly formed, minority-led construction management team, Chicago Community Builder's Collective, to build Bally’s Chicago. We have also formed a diverse minority investor group with 25% ownership in Bally’s Chicago. And, we have met with nonprofit groups to discuss workforce development initiatives to help us meet our women, minority, veteran, and persons with disability hiring goals by reaching out to and recruiting Chicagoans who are seeking careers and job growth in this dynamic industry.

Conflict Free

Bally's does not have ownership nor maintain a casino facility that presents a conflict of interest and draws visitors away from the Chicago area. Our nearest property is located more than 150 miles from Chicago.

SELECT COMMUNITY / PHILANTHROPIC INITIATIVESPRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH

Bally's is committed to improving the communities in which we operate, promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace for our valued team members, and taking decisive action to minimize our environmental footprint. We strive to make a positive impact and embrace our responsibility to promote sustainable business practices and responsible gaming.

VENDOR DIVERSITY

Bally's is committed to vendor diversity by assisting minority and/or women-owned businesses in our communities through our local sourcing of products and services.

COMMUNITY HOURS DONATED

This year, Bally's employees donated more than 4,350 hours to various community service efforts.

501(C)(3) CHARITIES

Bally's has multiple active 501(c)(3) funds to act as a conduit for charitable donations and make a greater impact in the communities in which we operate. Bally's also donates to local non-profit organizations chosen by our properties.

UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN

Bally's conducts an annual campaign to raise funds for United Way across properties to provide all employees the opportunity to donate, volunteer and speak out for causes that matter to them.

COMMUNITY SPACE

Bally's donates casino space to local communities and non-profits to support various initiatives and events, including to accommodate COVID-19 testing and events such as soap box races and rocket launches.

SUPPORT FOR VETERANS

Throughout our hiring practices, Bally's actively considers local applicants, military personnel and first responders. The Company donates to local Veteran homes and hosts a Veteran career fair to actively recruit military personnel and connect them with perspective employers.
