Illinois launched legal land-based casino gambling in 1990 with riverboats, and has since grown into one of the country’s major gaming markets. Rivers Casino Des Plaines is the closest casino to Chicago O’Hare, while Rivers Chicago opened downtown in 2023. Hollywood Aurora and several southern Illinois venues complete the state’s commercial network. Sports betting has been legal since 2020.
