Coming Soon – Wind Creek Chicago Southland
Currently in construction and expected to be complete sometime in 2024 on the South side of Chicago is the Wind Creek casino and resort. It will be a AAA Four Diamond Casino destination, fancy! Spa, Events Facility, Entertainment, and plenty of dining options.
They plan to have 56 table games, so I would expect 4 craps tables. You won’t find crapless in IL, but with 1,350 slot machines, I would hope bubble craps will be part of the lineup.
You can keep up with their progress at https://windcreek.com/chicagosouthland/casino
