So you can't exactly belly up to the blackjack table at your favorite Illinois casino yet, but you will be able to resume video gambling a week from Friday.
Based on data provided by the Illinois Gaming Board, video game based wagering has surpassed the $15 billion mark in Illinois, up nearly $2 billion over last year.
This is the very first year that video gambling has added more to state coffers than casino gambling since Illinois began keeping track of these things in 2012.
