Regulators pick casino developers for Waukegan, south suburbs – Chicago Sun-Times*

The selections come two and a half years after Pritzker signed the gambling law that created six new casino licenses. Of the six casinos, only the Hard Rock in Rockford has started taking bets. Ground was to be broken Wednesday on a new casino in downstate Williamson County. Danville’s revised casino bid is still being reviewed by regulators after an initial proposal fell through. And the Chicago mega-casino is still early in the local selection process.
