Six developers (two working together) have presented five plans: Churchill Downs/Rush Street Gaming; Waukegan Gaming (rending of Fontana casino at left); Full House Resorts; Lakeside Casino; the Potawatomi Tribe; and Waukegan Development. The city will give the Illinois Gaming Board its recommendations next month.
