Dozens of Chicago’s first casino gamblers started lining up 90 minutes ahead of Bally's official opening Saturday morning.

First in line was Steven Henry, the Sun-Times reports. He showed up at 6:30 a.m. for first dibs on a "Dancing Drums" slot machine. It took him only 20 minutes to get to the new downtown casino from Austin: "That’s what excites me — it’s close."
