ROCKOFRD (WREX) — "Jackpot!" That's what people in Rockford can soon be saying as we know now when the temporary casino will be opening. 

Hard Rock announced the grand opening of the "Rockford Casino: A Hard Rock Opening Act" will be Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. 

The new casino will feature two unique restaurants, a pop-up retail shop, and over 8,500 square feet of gaming space offering 635 slots and Interblock Electronic Table Games.

“We all know that every great musical begins with an opening act. This is no different,” said Jon Lucas, COO of Hard Rock International. “Thanks to the unwavering support from our leaders and members of the community, Hard Rock International is able to expand our footprint and bring to life the excitement that our team is so pleased to be a part of. We could not be prouder of this project and look forward to continuing to integrate ourselves into this incredible community for years to come.”

The casino, which is located at the former Giovanni's restaurant on N. Bell School Rd., will be open 24/7.
