Bally’s has retained RKF Global PLLC, where former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is a partner, as the company weighs legal action over the city’s decision to legalize video gambling terminals.
Bally’s is concerned that the move could undermine its casino host agreement with Chicago. The dispute arose after the City Council approved Chicago’s $16.6 billion 2026 budget, which ended the city’s long-standing ban on video gambling.
