As Wind Creek casino opens in south suburbs, is the Chicago area’s gaming market oversaturated?
A gleaming new casino is poised to attract gamblers from across the Chicago area and northwest Indiana, with a sprawling gaming floor and upscale dining options that’ll make it one of Illinois’ biggest draws and most lucrative tax revenue generators, officials say.
It’s not the Chicago casino — it’s another new gambling mecca a half-hour’s drive south, set to open within days.
Leaders of the Wind Creek Chicago Southland gave reporters a first look Thursday at the East Hazel Crest casino that’s awaiting state regulatory approval to start welcoming gamblers as soon as this week.
