WEEKLY FEATURE: Massive Gaming Expansion Passed in Illinois

It came down to the wire—the last day of the Illinois legislative session—but a gambling expansion and sports betting bills, passed the legislature and was signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker (l.). The bill includes $217 million in sports betting revenue in his proposed budget but a "penalty box" provision against DraftKings and FanDuel. It also includes six new casinos and up to 30,000 new slot machines.
