Welcome to a video we shot in about mid April, in which Ballys Chairman Soo Kim is interviewed by Inside Asian Gaming (IAG) Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott.

Soo discusses the history of Bally’s, the company’s interest in Japan and Chicago, and much more. At the time of filming Bally’s was one of the finalists in the Chicago selection process.

We held off on posting this for some operational reasons, but thought now was the perfect time to share this with our audience, giving Bally’s recent success in Chicago.
