Bally’s Settles Suit by White Men Over Chicago Casino Stake

Bally’s Corp. said it has settled a lawsuit brought by two white men and a conservative legal group that challenged a $1.7 billion Chicago casino project that offered ownership stakes only to women and people of color.

The settlement comes after Bally’s revised the share-sale terms in April by opening it up to other investors. No terms were disclosed Friday in a federal court filing, which said all parties in the case had agreed to a dismissal of the case. The men sued the company and the city of Chicago in January alleging discrimination.
