Illinois Casino Walker’s Bluff Remains On Track To Open In 2023

Construction on Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort in Williamson County is on schedule for a grand opening sometime in 2023.

Walker’s Bluff received a “preliminarily suitable” ruling from the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) in June of 2021, which gave the green light for a new Illinois casino to open.

Then, in December, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Sen. Dale Fowler made the trip to southern Illinois to attend a groundbreaking event to signify the beginning of construction on the casino.
