The odds are getting slimmer for casino proponents in Chicago after a bill seeking to expand gambling in Illinois fails to get enough support from state lawmakers.

Proponents of Senate Bill 7 (SB7) suffered a major setback after an Illinois House panel thumbed down plans to expand gambling in the state, The Chicago Sun Times reported.

In summary, SB7 seeks to add six new casinos in the state, bringing the number of the land-based gaming facilities to 16. They hope to open new casinos in Chicago, The South Suburbs, Williamson County, Rockford, and Danville.

SB7 will amend the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 and the Riverboat Gambling Act to authorize electronic gaming at race tracks. The measure will also allow for increased winnings on video gaming and additional gambling, including slot machines, at horse racing tracks. The measure didn’t include fantasy sports betting, internet gaming or sports betting.
