The contract will be awarded to LL Bagatellle and Pokerino. Maybe some dice? Dice has a bad rep after a local game was abruptly stopped when one of the players was stabbed to death, suspected of cheating. All recorded and posted by some future TikTok star. A murder at a dice game. Dem bones is dangerous!

SEIU and the city’s minority hiring requirements will grind up any operator, it’s a profitless proposition

Chicago casino motto will be, ” lose your money and your life”. Lightslippers and Prickwinkke want the casino on the westside to provide jobs,what a joke.

We can all thank blm and the progressive dems for another blow to Chicago’s economic future. Casino operators will not allow players to be mugged, carjacked and robbed so they passed . The casino will be awarded to Loris campaign contributor Neil Bluhm. And he will receive millions in tax incentives from Lori. I hope he goes bankrupt.

Hmmmm……Yea, I guess we’re all too stupid to understand the contract has already been awarded. Nothing but theatre.
