It is unclear if they subsequently invested in the share sale following the relaxation of the eligibility criteria in April.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\/2025\/06\/10\/ballys-city-of-chicago-settle-controversial-discrimination-casino-investment-lawsuit\/\">Bally\u2019s, City of Chicago Settle Controversial Discrimination Casino Investment Lawsuit<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\">Vegas Slots Online News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post Bally\u2019s, City of Chicago Settle Controversial Discrimination Casino Investment Lawsuit appeared first on Vegas Slots Online News.
