Bally’s Chicago Casino construction resumes after IGB review
The Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) has officially removed the ban on Bally’s Chicago casino construction work, imposed as a result of an unapproved contractor with past connections to organized crime.
Earlier this month, after a Chicago Sun-Times reporter noticed that the construction workers used the logo of D&P Construction, an investigation was started, after which the IGB paused Bally’s Chicago casino construction.
Once controlled by John “No Nose” DiFronzo, a former boss of the Chicago Mob, and his brother, Peter DiFronzo, a reputed Outfit capo, D&P Construction was not approved by the regulators to start the working process and provide waste removal services for the Bally’s Chicago casino construction.
After a detailed review, the Illinois Gaming Board confirmed:
“Presently, no vendors are working on the casino construction project without IGB approval.”
D&P’s history with Chicago casinos isn’t new. It was also involved in the ill-fated Emerald Casino project in Rosemont, Illinois, over two decades ago. That project collapsed in 2001 after the IGB pulled its license, citing concealed ownership ties to organized crime.
Today, Illinois regulators keep strictly monitoring the market to ensure that organized crime stays outside of the state’s booming gaming market.
