The new Hard Rock Casino Rockford project is closer to fruition now as major approvals were provided just this week by the Illinois Gaming Board members.
ROCKFORD Hard Rock Casino Rockford presented its case on Wednesday for the Illinois Gaming Board to preliminarily find its company and $310 million casino proposal suitable for a license.
Now the city of Rockford and 815 Entertainment LLC the company that unites local and regional investors with Hard Rock International await the Gaming Board s decision, expected Feb. 4.
A finding that the proposal or the company are unsuitable could derail Hard Rock s bid to open a casino here.
Chief investor Dan Fischer, owner of Dotty s Gambling Cafe chain, said the company was proud and humbled to have been chosen by Rockford over two other proposed casino projects that sought the city s sole license. Fischer said working with Hard Rock International gave his company a clear advantage and access to a wealth of experience.
