- sailfast 8y agoGood to know! Hard to tell from their map and I didn't remember any county-wide ordinances. Thanks.
- robohoe 8y agoWhich are both hard to get to without public transport that one sees in Chicago proper (PACE barely counts). A lot of folks in the city don’t own a car. At the same time those same folks are probably smarter than to spend money at gambling parlors.
- tptacek 8y agoOnce again: you can get to Berwyn via the Blue or Pink lines, as well as Cicero, which is directly adjacent to Chicago. Both allow video gaming. Both are decidedly middle/lower-middle class areas. It's just not the case that video gaming isn't present in Chicagoland.
- kevinmchugh 8y agopalos and orland are pretty reachable by metra, though the times aren't ideal. Once you're there my memory is that it's walkable enough to a bar with gambling. It'd also be like a $5 uber/lyft from the metra. My suspicion is that urban gamblers mostly take the blue line to the shuttle to Rivers.
