* Press release…
To prevent the further spread of the unprecedented COVID-19 virus, the Illinois Gaming Board has extended the suspension of all video gaming operations at all licensed establishments of any kind and all casino gambling operations in Illinois until at least April 30, 2020. The health and safety of patrons, gaming industry employees, Gaming Board staff, and all others in Illinois is the Gaming Board’s top priority.
The Gaming Board is monitoring developments regarding COVID-19 and will continue to make decisions based on science, public health guidance, and applicable law and rules. We will also continue to update licensees and other stakeholders as new information becomes available.

Well I so glad Chicagoans will still be able to use those unregulated not quite gaming machines at every other corner store.

So has the Gaming Board ceased operations? I understand the suspension of gaming. Are they continuing the process of reviewing and awarding the new licenses? Building casinos would be a big shot in the arm to the Illinois economy. Can’t build them until they have been awarded.
