Bets remain open for the site of a future Chicago casino, but proposals are already emerging for gaming venues at a handful of south suburban sites.

Rush Street owns the Rivers Casino in northwest suburban Des Plaines but so far does not plan to pursue any of the new casino licenses, according to the Sun-Times. [Chicago Sun-Times] — Alex Nitkin
