In June 2002, the Illinois House of Representatives gives Jumer's Casino Rock Island permission to move away from downtown Rock Island to a site near the intersection of Interstate 280 and Illinois 92. In October 2007, Jumer's Casino Rock Island broke ground on a $151 million land-based casino, hotel and banquet center, and on December 1, 2008, Jumer's opened its new casino and hotel in southwest Rock Island. The 42,000-square-foot casino has about 800 slots and 13 table games as well as a live poker room and a high-limit slots area. The complex includes a 205-room hotel with 11 luxury suites, an event center, Bally Bet Sportsbook, a nightclub and four restaurants.
In 2011, the Jumer family sold the property to Delaware North for $180 million.
In June 2021, Delaware North sold Jumer's to Bally's Corporation for $120 million. The property was rebranded as Bally's Quad Cities in September 2021.
Gaming and Leisure Properties purchased the real estate of Bally's Quad Cities in a leaseback transaction in April 2022.
