Rhode Island’s commercial casino industry traces its roots to 1992, when the state authorized video lottery terminals (VLTs) at the Lincoln Park greyhound racing track in Lincoln. This was not a dramatic overnight transformation but rather a pragmatic revenue decision by the state legislature, which recognized that a modest gambling facility could generate consistent tax income without requiring a full-scale casino license framework. The VLTs at Lincoln Park operated under the oversight of the Rhode Island Lottery Division, a structure that persists to this day and distinguishes Rhode Island from states that created standalone gaming control boards.
For nearly two decades, VLTs remained the sole form of permitted casino-style gaming in the state. That changed in 2012, when Rhode Island voters approved the addition of live table games at the Lincoln facility. The expansion was significant: blackjack, roulette, poker, and other table games joined the existing VLT floor, giving the property a profile much closer to a conventional casino resort. Revenue to the state increased substantially as a result, reinforcing the Lottery Division’s model of treating gaming as a revenue tool rather than a standalone tourism product.
A second state-licensed VLT facility had long operated in Newport under the name Newport Grand. That facility, which also ran live events and simulcast racing, closed permanently in September 2018. Its closure was tied directly to the opening of a replacement property: the new Tiverton Casino & Hotel, built on the Rhode Island-Massachusetts border in Tiverton. The Tiverton site offered a modern facility in a location intended to capture Massachusetts players who might otherwise cross the border to the newly opened MGM Springfield or Plainridge Park Casino in Massachusetts. Both the Lincoln and Tiverton properties were then operating under the Twin River Management brand.
In 2021, Bally’s Corporation completed its acquisition of Twin River Worldwide Holdings, the parent company of both Rhode Island properties. The rebrand to Bally’s brought national brand recognition and a large hospitality infrastructure to both sites. Bally’s Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort and Bally’s Tiverton Casino & Hotel now operate as part of a portfolio of regional casino properties across the eastern and midwestern United States.
Located at 100 Twin River Road in Lincoln, this is the flagship gaming property in Rhode Island and one of the largest casinos in New England by square footage. The facility sits on a large parcel north of Providence, roughly 20 minutes from downtown, and is easily accessible from I-295.
The gaming floor at Twin River Lincoln holds several thousand VLTs alongside a full complement of table games. Players will find blackjack in multiple variants, roulette, craps, baccarat, and a dedicated poker room that runs cash games and occasional tournaments. The slot floor is large and well-maintained, with a mix of classic reel machines, video slots, and high-denomination areas for larger-stakes players.
Beyond the gaming floor, the property includes multiple dining options ranging from casual buffet-style dining to full-service restaurants. Live entertainment is hosted in an on-site venue, and the resort hotel provides accommodations for guests traveling from outside the region. The property is open around the clock and draws a large local and regional player base. To contact the property directly, call +1-401-723-3200 or visit ballys.com.
Bally’s Tiverton Casino & Hotel is located at 777 Tiverton Casino Boulevard in Tiverton, Rhode Island, near the Fall River, Massachusetts border. The property opened in September 2018 as a purpose-built facility and replaced the Newport Grand VLT parlor that had served the southern part of the state.
Tiverton is a smaller property than Lincoln but was designed with a modern aesthetic and a hotel component from the outset. The gaming floor offers VLTs and table games, including blackjack, roulette, and a poker section. The attached hotel makes it a practical overnight destination for players visiting the Newport County area or traveling along the South Coast corridor between Providence and Cape Cod.
Dining options at Tiverton include a full-service restaurant and a quick-service area. The property has hosted live events and entertainment in its dedicated venue space. Its border location near Massachusetts was a deliberate competitive choice, and the property has consistently drawn cross-state visitors. For reservations or general inquiries, call +1-401-816-6000.
Rhode Island is one of a small number of US states that has legalized and launched regulated online casino gambling. The state legislature authorized online casino gaming, and licensed platforms began accepting real-money wagers from Rhode Island players in 2023.
The licensed operator for Rhode Island’s online casino is IGT (International Game Technology), which runs the Rhode Island Online Casino platform. IGT has a long-standing relationship with the Rhode Island Lottery, having previously supplied the VLT systems used at the state’s land-based facilities. The online platform offers slots, table games, and live dealer options to players physically located within state borders.
To play legally on Rhode Island’s online casino platform, players must be at least 18 years old (Rhode Island’s minimum gambling age), physically present within the state, and registered with a verified account. Geolocation technology confirms player location before gameplay is permitted. Winnings are subject to Rhode Island state income tax, as with land-based winnings.
Rhode Island’s decision to license online gambling reflects a broader revenue strategy: the state generates an unusually high share of gaming revenue relative to its size and population, and online gambling extends that revenue base without requiring physical infrastructure. Players who use the licensed online platform will find their activity falls under the same Lottery Division oversight that governs the brick-and-mortar properties.
Both Bally’s Rhode Island properties participate in the Bally’s Rewards loyalty program, which replaced the earlier Twin River Rewards structure following the acquisition. The program is free to join and is available to players at the slot machines, table games, and poker room at both Lincoln and Tiverton.
Members earn tier credits and reward credits on eligible gaming activity. Tier credits determine a player’s status level within the program, with higher tiers unlocking benefits such as priority access to promotions, complimentary hotel nights, dining credits, and invitations to exclusive events. Reward credits can be converted to free play or applied to dining and retail purchases at the property.
Because Bally’s operates properties in multiple states, the rewards program allows members to earn and redeem across the broader Bally’s portfolio. For Rhode Island players who travel to Atlantic City, the Midwest, or other Bally’s markets, this cross-property redemption can add meaningful value to their membership. Sign-up is available at the players club desk at either property or through the Bally’s website at ballys.com.
Casino gaming in Rhode Island is regulated by the Rhode Island Lottery Division, a state agency that oversees both the land-based VLT and table game operations and the licensed online casino platform. Unlike many gaming states that created an independent gaming control board, Rhode Island embedded casino oversight within its existing lottery structure when VLTs were first authorized in 1992. This structure has remained in place through all subsequent expansions, including table games and online gambling.
The Lottery Division sets payout requirements, approves gaming equipment, audits operator revenues, and collects the state’s share of gaming proceeds. Rhode Island’s revenue-sharing structure means the state retains a significant percentage of gross gaming revenue from both properties, making casino gaming a meaningful contributor to the state budget.
On responsible gaming, both Bally’s properties maintain self-exclusion programs administered through the Lottery Division. Players who wish to voluntarily exclude themselves from all Rhode Island gaming facilities — including the online platform — can do so by contacting the Lottery Division directly. The statewide self-exclusion list applies to both Lincoln and Tiverton, as well as the licensed online casino. Problem gambling resources are available through the Rhode Island Council on Problem Gambling and the national helpline at 1-800-522-4700.
Rhode Island’s minimum gambling age is 18, which is lower than the 21-year minimum found in most commercial casino states. This is a function of the Lottery Division oversight model, under which casino-style gaming was folded into the broader lottery framework rather than governed as a standalone casino industry.
