Rivers Casino in Des Plaines is hiring 400 people, including 250 dealers, to prepare for a 78,000-square-foot expansion set to open in spring 2022. Rivers broke ground in February on the expansion, which will add a ballroom, a new restaurant and increase the number of gaming positions from 1,200 to 2,000 — the most allowed under the state’s sweeping 2019 gambling expansion bill.
