Hard Rock Casino Rockford is currently being built in Illinois, representing a $300 million investment that will span over 180,000 square feet. The casino is set to feature over 1,000 slot machines, numerous table games, and a potential poker room with 10 to 12 tables, along with a sportsbook.
This new entertainment destination will include a variety of restaurants and a concert venue measuring 23,500 square feet that can also function as a conference center. Additionally, a hotel with 250 rooms is in the works.
The construction of this entertainment complex is expected to generate around 1,200 jobs, with Ringland Johnson Construction overseeing the project. Once the permanent casino opens, it is anticipated to provide approximately 1,000 full- and part-time jobs. Meanwhile, visitors can enjoy the pop-up casino located at the corner of East State Street and Bell School Road, where Hard Rock currently offers over 630 gaming options, including slot machines, video poker, and electronic table games.
