In addition to traditional slot machines, there are some table games as well. They also have a few restaurants. If you're expecting Atlantic City or Vegas, you might be disappointed. But there enough machines to keep you entertained for a while. One plus is the good food at Asia-Azteca restaurant. I had the chicharrones & guacamole and the quesabirria tacos. Best guacamole I've had in a while. The service was excellent! When I was there, there were only two cashiers at the casino. Since the line was a bit long, I was surprised other cashiers were not added. I am looking forward to visiting the casino when the new permanent building is open

It seems like Grand Victoria is on a path to improving the overall experience in gambling. They…read morehave added a bunch more slot machines when you initially walk in, something that was once dead space and felt like you were walking into the abyss of losing money. It now feels brighter and a little more lively. They've also moved the customer service desk and it's no longer hidden by slot machines, but it is weirdly placed behind the elevator. I don't think there was anything in this space previously. I wish there were better food options here - the fast casual option is just ok.. I honestly would not pay to eat here again, the prices do not justify, especially after gambling for a few hours. The slots have drastically improved in the last few months, way more of the new machines instead of those poor slots that were on their last leg. There are the occasional machines that have a sticky button or a chair that has seen better days, but overall, I think this place is on an upwards swing.

The casino is super clean, there's plenty of parking, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. The drink service was good and the food was surprisingly delicious. Everything is organized well and it's honestly a really fun place to spend an evening. Now... let's talk about those machines. They were absolutely ruthless to me and happily accepted every dollar I fed them. Meanwhile, my husband somehow walked away $500 richer, which I'm still trying to process. Apparently the machines only like him. Even though the slots clearly had a personal vendetta against me, we still had a great time and will probably be back (because hope springs eternal when it comes to casinos). Just remember: bring a budget... and maybe bring my husband for good luck. Great place for a fun adult evening!

My mom is here and suggested a visit to the casino, so we headed over. It's very nearby but I've…read morenever been here before. From the start I was not super impressed. I'd planned to use the valet, but couldn't find it. There are signs pointing to valet, but there was no the tell-tale podium outside either of the entrances that we passed by. When we left, we took the long way around and I'm not sure if the valet is in the back of the casino (who would think to look there, especially given the arrow pointing left instead of up?) and then further down toward the backside of the parking garage there was a sign that said valet was down there. The whole point of valet is to get out curbside... I'm really not sure what was going on here. I was going to park in the disabled section so mom could use her permit, but she realized she left it at the house. There was a spot close enough so we chose that instead. What was weird is that there was a sidewalk in front of the disabled spots, but there was no curb cut at the end of that sidewalk (that was the most direct route to the entrance) and to get to the curb cut we had to go into the rideshare pick-up area, which isn't necessarily the safest route nor is it always going to be accessible if there are cars waiting there. In short, doesn't seem super friendly to disabled folk. (Oh, and they only have one door at the main entrance that has an auto door opener, and it's easily missed.) We got our player cards at the Rush Rewards counter. Giving them our email addresses gave us $10 in free play. I don't understand how the cards work nor how to get the free play off them--I had to call one of the attendants to make it work for me. We play the penny slots--I mean, we're not richies who can go for the quarter ones--and there was a good number of them here. But there seemed an unusual number that weren't quite working. I think we saw four that were just totally shut down with some sort of paperwork taped to them, and then there were a couple we tried to use that didn't accept mom's voucher slip. And we encountered a few fellow patrons that were pretty rude. Most astonishing is the woman who reached over my mom's shoulder to put money in a machine as I was situating her wheelchair in front of the machine. Unbelievable. There are several restaurants at the casino; Chinese, a taco place, burgers, and a steakhouse or two. Ample parking--in addition to the surface lots, there's a parking garage next to the main building. There are also a couple of hotels next odor to the casino, and I don't think that Rivers itself has a hotel on site.

Even when busy, there's plenty of room to walk around and the layout is fairly logical. If you're hungry, there's a steakhouse, bar, and deli though I've never eaten here.

It's easy to become overwhelmed, so I suggest to walk the floor before choosing any random game. There are servers walking around who will take your drink order and attendants are very present. The casino food isn't the best, but it will get you through the night. I ordered some sweet potato fries and they were burnt and cooked in old grease, I didn't bother to send them back because I now had a low expectation of them for food . If you want to waste some time and play for fun, try the Hollywood Casino in Aurora!

Bally's Casino in downtown Chicago is a solid spot if you're looking for a convenient place to…read moregamble in the city. The casino itself is very clean, well maintained, and the staff are friendly, which definitely makes the experience more enjoyable. There are plenty of machines to choose from across two floors, so there's a good variety depending on what you like to play. One nice perk is that when you sign up for their players club, they give you $20 in free play, which is a great way to get started. That said, the casino is on the smaller side, so it can get very crowded, especially during busy times. Another downside is the area outside. Being downtown, there were some sketchy people lingering outside, which can make it feel a little less safe late at night. As far as the gambling goes, I personally didn't have much luck. After putting about $200 into the slot machines, I didn't even hit a small bonus, which felt like I was robbed. Of course, it's a casino, so wins are never guaranteed, but it would have been nice to see at least something. Typically I lose all but it keeps me playing for a while. It's all in the fun! Overall, not the best casino experience but definitely not the worst either. If you're a gambler and want a casino option right in downtown Chicago, it's worth checking out.
