There will also be Hard Rock Café, a 1.600-seat Hard Rink Live concert venue, three dining outlets, two quick-service cafés.
Temporary casino in Rockford is expected to be operational by October of this year. The temporary casino will be located at the site of the Giovanni's restaurant and banquet hall at 610 N.

Hard Rancher is in a race against time to keep gambling money in Illinois as Beloit in neighboring Wisconsin is awaiting federal approval to launch a hotel and casino resort operated by the Ho-Chunk Nation.
