Gaming Board postpones vote on Rosemont casino

Friday, Oct. 13, 2000 | 11:28 a.m.

CHICAGO -- Citing pending litigation, the Illinois Gaming Board on Thursday postponed a final vote it had tentatively set for next week on whether to authorize a proposed floating casino in suburban Chicago.

Emerald Casino Inc., the development group behind the project, applied more than a year ago to move the license for its defunct East Dubuque riverboat to Rosemont.

But the project has been tied up by a lawsuit filed against the Gaming Board by Lake County developers who want their own casino. The rival group challenged the constitutionality of a 1999 law that appeared to clear the way for the Rosemont proposal.
