The $100m temporary venue is located in Lake County.
US.- Casino operator Full House Resorts has opened Temporary by American Place in Lake County, Illinois. The venue will be used until the larger $400m American Place opens – slated for late 2025.
The $100m temporary venue is the only casino in Lake County. It features approximately 1,000 slot machines and 50 table games. The venue also has food and beverage outlets.
Daniel Lee, president and chief executive officer of Full House Resorts, said: “We thank the Illinois Gaming Board and its staff for their assistance throughout The Temporary’s construction and preparation. I also want to thank our own team of approximately 500 founding employees, who have worked diligently to prepare us for this exciting moment.”
For Q3 2022, Full House Resorts reported revenue of $41.4m, down 12 per cent year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.8m.
Senator makes another attempt at legalising online gambling in Illinois
Illinois state senator Christina Castro has filed SB 1656 in a bid to legalise internet casino gaming in the state. The bill has been referred to the Senate Assignment Committee.
Castro tried unsuccessfully to pass online casino legislation in 2021. Her proposed legislation would allow internet gaming operators to run up to three branded skins. It would appear to allow interstate poker based on language that mentions “acceptance of out-of-state wagers.”
