The proposed Chicago casino is not attracting big names in casino gambling. The proposed 40% tax is better than the 72% rate first proposed by the city. Public safety and corruption are risk factors associated with gambling in Chicago. The city's request for proposals requires a hotel, meeting rooms, shops, restaurant spaces and obligations to use local beneficiaries as subcontractors and sub-operators. There is also a lot of competition on Chicago’s doorstep. It is more favorable than in other states.
The Chicago casino is not going to open. The city needs to offer a plan that could help a business succeed. It needs a casino that is tourist-oriented and offers other amenities. The casino should attract people who don't gamble. Illinois has used casinos as a tool of urban renewal for 30 years. This has been a colossal mistake. Chicago needs casinos that are also places where people can eat, shop, stay and marvel at the design. They should be convenient for lower-income people. A casino also should create jobs. iReport.com: How to save the Chicago Casino? iReporter.co.uk:
