Hard Rock International gets green signal to start construction for Rockford casino
5 February 2021
The Illinois Gaming Commission (IGC) has finally granted permission to Hard Rock International (HRI) for construction of its Hard Rock Casino in Rockford as the property has been found fit for a gaming license. However, a license has yet to be fully approved for a permanent facility.
The IGC’s voting in favor of the HRI’s proposal for building and operating a gaming facility in Rockford is being seen as a strong step in the right direction for the casino operator as it has cleared the way for investors to arrange funds, start construction on the site and place order for gaming equipment such as slot machines and more.
