The Nutcracker

About The Nutcracker

From the ash, three phoenix rise, and each one guards a different force. Their tears hold old magic, and when those tears are gathered the heat returns to the embers below. The more phoenix wake, the more there is to play for. When all three rise together, their combined force reshapes what happens next. A 5-reel, 4-row video slot built around three phoenix-driven Hold and Spin features. Collect coloured Tear Scatters to wake each phoenix, stack their modifiers, and climb the GO Guaranteed ladder.

Bally’s has been granted two years’ worth of extensions for the permanent project. State law allows for two-year temporary licences, but the Illinois Gaming Board approved an extension to three years in 2023. That pushed the deadline to this September, but Bally’s ultimately received another year’s worth of extensions through language included in the state’s omnibus revenue bill that was passed in June.

If the latest extension had not been granted, Bally’s would have had to close its temporary casino at Medinah Temple until the permanent venue was completed. That would have resulted in multiple months with no revenue in the market, but Kim told iGB at the East Coast Gaming Congress in April that a closure of the temporary site was “not the end of the world”.

Meanwhile, Bally’s is forging ahead with an even bigger project to the east, its $4 billion Bally’s Bronx resort in New York City. The company was one of three NYC licence winners last year, alongside Resorts World New York City and Hard Rock’s Metropolitan Park.
