City Council committee defies Mayor Johnson by voting to lift Chicago ban on video gaming – Chicago Sun-Times

A recent consulting study commissioned by the city concluded that video gaming revenue would be $10 million a year at best, and could actually end up costing the city money because of the impact it would have on slot machines at the casino that Bally’s is building in the River West neighborhood. That’s in part because the tax on slot machine revenue would be nearly four times higher than it is on video gaming terminals.
