i' ve never been a big fan of casinos. twin river is about as low as it gets as far as a casino goes but they do have a few decent restaurants and always good quality bands playing at the light house bar. if you can put up with the smoke, the sometimes sketchy patrons and parking a mile a way it' s not a bad night of music and drinks. btw the drinks are priced pretty reasonably for a casino .

in addition to bringing in more state tax revenue, the new casino in tiverton could bring a net increase of 791 new jobs for both the construction and operation of the casino. unlike the newport grand slots parlor, which the tiverton casino would replace, the new casino will have 25 - 35 table games, a full - service restaurant, entertainment, and a hotel — amenities that create more permanent jobs. the casino’s scope and proximity to the massachusetts border, as compared to the newport grand, would provide nearby massachusetts and rhode island residents an incentive to gamble in rhode island instead of traveling to the similarly - sized facility planned for taunton .

in response to the community’s concerns, the twin river management group has made it a point to emphasize the benefits of the casino to local residents. as a part of their campaign under the name citizens to create jobs and protect revenue inc. , contractors, handymen, and electricians employed by twin river companies praise the group and their practice of hiring local labor. the group also hosted more than 30 neighborhood meetings and three public workshops in order to hear input from the community about everything from environmental impact to traffic patterns. tiverton residents were even allowed to vote on the casino’s architecture at a town council meeting, and they ultimately approved a design modeled after tiverton’s local library, a point of pride in the community .
this online casino website is hosted in nevada and is a free - to - play website with no real money online gaming supported .
the western massachusetts license went to mgm resorts international and its $ 800 - million plan for a casino on springfield' s south side .
gov. lincoln chafee and other state leaders attended a ribbon - cutting to mark the official start of expanded gambling at the lincoln casino .
twin river and newport grand are expected to bring in $ 255 million in revenue this year, and pay the state about 60 percent of that slot machine revenue. that translates to about 7. 5 percent of the state' s revenue .
it’s also useful to note that many of the jobs the new large - scale casino would create would benefit working class people, the same group that tends to be most harmed by the presence of a casino. the economic impact study for the tiverton project concluded that the casino would offer economic opportunity for tiverton’s poorest residents by providing entry - level and service jobs with an expected annual salary of $ 42, 000. although there’s no guarantee that all of the new jobs created in tiverton will go to tiverton residents, twin river has a history of hiring locally, and any measure of local hiring would seriously impact the small population of poor and unemployed tiverton residents .
twin river managers have worked to strengthen the lincoln operation since a consortium of lenders purchased the lincoln venue out of bankruptcy. in 2012, they successfully lobbied state voters to allow table games such as black jack, craps and roulette at the facility .
in the last year, the massachusetts commission awarded the slots - only license and two of the three casino licenses, in everett and springfield .
in addition, the alleged bribes would help

“we understand how important the future of newport grand is to the state and when this acquisition opportunity presented itself, believe that we might be best qualified to preserve and possible enhance that revenue and protect valuable jobs, ” twin river said in a statement .
those job fairs will be held months before the facility opens, six to nine months after the planning and zoning process is complete, according to a letter sent to the tiverton town council by john taylor jr. , chair of twin river worldwide holdings .
at present, the casino has 4, 500 gaming machines and 65 gaming tables. the tables were added quickly after the vote was passed to allow such tables, but no poker area was established. the opening of the poker room in august will complete the expansion of the casino gaming area .
i must honestly say i' m not into the gambling thing, so i cannot review twin rivers on that realm. but i can say it' s great to have a casino in such close proximity to providence, since the other two big boys are out in the ...

thus, twin river casino plans to add 28 gaming tables in all. of those, 16 of the tables will be devoted to poker. those tables are going to be set off in their own room. favorite variants of poker, such as texas hold’em, omaha hold’em, and seven - card stud are likely to be offered. texas hold’em is going to command the majority of the gaming area for poker .
twin rivers casino (formerly lincoln park) has definitely changed it' s payout. when i lived in rhode island in the early 2000' s i visited lincoln park regularly and always saw someone winning either a jackpot or a good winning sum. i experienced it myself. i took a ...
despite the apparent economic benefits of the project, many rhode island residents hold strong convictions about the idea of opening a casino in their community. the “save tiverton” movement began as a grassroots opposition group fighting against the proposed casino, but the movement has largely fallen apart after a reporter from the providence journal inquired about the movement’s anonymous backers — who refused to disclose their identities or affiliations — causing the religious leaders at the forefront of “save tiverton” to break ties with the organization. the “save tiverton” movement continues to share articles and post status updates on its facebook page, and other groups post flyers and hold informational meetings. although it seems unlikely that the movement will provide significant traction against twin river’s nearly $ 500, 000 campaign to promote the casino, the group, at the bare minimum, provides a platform to community members who have serious fears about the new casino and represents a very real reluctance to approve construction .
in november, rhode island voters will ultimately have to weigh the economic advantages of the tiverton casino against its perceived social drawbacks. the disadvantages of living near casinos are real and should be considered closely. even though few would make the argument that casinos are an absolute good for society, this referendum should be about the specific effects of the tiverton casino, not the desirability of casinos as a whole. considering the economic advantages of the casino, including job creation, tax revenue for the state, and a better chance at competing against the growing gambling industry in massachusetts, the tiverton casino is a safe bet for the state. contrary to what the “save tiverton” group might say, approving the casino project would actually save tiverton and the state of rhode island from losing out on an important economic opportunity .
a 320 - seat all - you - can eat buffet also opened, and the catch a rising star comedy club moved to its new location, near the steakhouse. the twin river event center, a 29, 000 square foot arena for concerts and other events will open in april .
thanks for visiting. please note that ri law prohibits the casino from offering free alcohol, but we do provide complimentary non - alcoholic beverages with a tr rewards card .
i' d like to thank everyone individually, but we would be here all day ,
len wolman, principal of blb investors, llc, which owns twin river .
this is an exciting day. just wait and see the excitement that unfolds here through the rest of the year .
twin river, named for its location at the confluence of two rivers in the blackstone valley, still is behind foxwoods and mohegan sun in its number of slot machines and in the fact that it lacks a hotel and other amenities, but officials are hoping the expansion will be enough to keep people in rhode island .
our total workforce when all is said and done will be between 1, 400 and 1, 500 people. this conversation about bringing jobs to rhode island is as relevant today as it was then, and it makes us proud to deliver on the promises that we made ,
twin river chairman john taylor said .
i' m truly disgusted with how things have evolved that allows twin river to have table games. it appears that the only way gaming was going to expand in rhode island was for the narragansett indian tribe to not be involved with the proposal. my tribe proposed a destination resort casino in rhode island just over six years ago that would have provided several thousand needed jobs and a major boost to the economy, only to be vehemently opposed by former governors and other politicos ,
a statement said .
bay state lawmakers in 2011 authorized four gambling licenses: three full casino permits and one slots - only permit. the commonwealth also created the massachusetts gaming commission to oversee the licensing process .
over about 18 months, lincoln park' s slot machine and greyhound racing club went from outdated to twin river, an innovative upgrade, and now has 4, 752 slot machines, a grand room with high ceilings, a set - down bar area, several restaurants, elaborate cashier booths and a multi - purpose theater .

if i was part owner in twin river casino, i would definitely do something about the loyalty program, and the way management answers reviews, maybe she should try reaching out to some of the upset guest and see what they have to say after they let out all their aggression. you would probably be able to invite them back and give them a free bet or something, and i bet the next review would be better. i visited one time, and thats all it took for me to realize i am better off driving the extra 45 - 60 minutes to foxwoods !

despite the fact that the new casino is not likely to increase the risk of gambling addiction, both the state of rhode island and the twin river group could do more to provide resources for problem gamblers. currently, the legislature allocates about $ 50, 000 per year to the rhode island hospital for the treatment of problem gambling, while the ri lottery provides funds to support a hotline; overall, the per capita allocation of public funds for problem gambling is well below the national average. the state legislature should consider creating a distinct service fund for problem gambling to spread awareness and fund community support groups .
i love this casino, but when i went yesterday, for some reason all my reward points were gone? ? dont understand it. . i tried contacting through game site, and it wont work. .? ?
the proposed merger comes as the rhode island gambling halls face competition from locations in massachusetts, which in 2011 approved expanded gambling. the first massachusetts gambling hall - - plainridge park casino - - opens this summer in nearby plainville .
i really enjoy the slots at twin river, enjoy it more than foxwoods. great food, excited about new hotel. my only complaint is being exposed to smokers, with all the diseases that smoking causes i cannot believe so many people smoke and blow smoke in your face. the non - smoking area is pathetic. i will continue to go but don' t appreciate that smoking is allowed .
the community is deeply concerned that a new casino will lead to gambling addiction among the local residents, and this fear is justified. problematic or pathological gamblers are more likely to face a number of negative consequences such as losing jobs, filing for bankruptcy, or committing crimes in order to pay debts and continue gambling. and, unsurprisingly, easily - accessible casinos only exacerbate gambling problems: different studies show that anywhere from 35 - 52% of the revenue at an average casino comes from problem gamblers. but even though gambling addiction remains a real problem, it is unclear that the addition of a casino will make a measurable impact on addiction in tiverton. with the new casino in taunton already under construction just 24 miles away, the newport grand 13 miles away, and various other casinos in rhode island and connecticut within an hour’s drive, residents of rhode island and massachusetts already have ample opportunity to gamble — all the tiverton project changes is precisely where they will do it .
at least four groups expressed interest in the southeastern massachusetts license, indicating tentative sites in new bedford, fall river, bridgewater and somerset. the commission is in the early stages of reviewing those proposals .
no, casino' s don' t have the authority to do that. only if you have a winning lottery ticket that exceeds $ 6oo, and had to go to lottery headquarters, would they be able to do that. good luck .

smaller casino compared to foxwoods. the casino is in the center with a bar in the center of the casino. this is where live bands perform as well. the perimeter of the building is lined with restaurants etc. there is a smoking and non smoking level. i had a handicapped parking sticker and had no issues parking. went on a friday and it wasn' t too crowded. restrooms were clean, machines were operable and the smoke stench wasn' t too bad. the waitress does take forever to get back to you with a drink and the drinks are not free. a small (one shot - house liquor) is $ 3. 75. the machines do not rob you like foxwoods. i will definitely go back in attempts to flip a $ 20 and get out the house !
i have been coming here regularly for the last few years. they have got thousands of $ $ for me and my friends. never again. security officials treated a friend of mine very badly and rudely, and they were all using foul language. and he had just gambled several hundred $ $ there, that is the kicker! ! anyway, myself and several of my friends will not be going back there. so your loss, you corrupt, mean ri bastards. the place is grim anyway, compared to the ct casinos and the food outlets, such as subway, are nowhere near as good as the real thing. when the boston casino eventually opens, twin river will go bust very fast, for sure! ! guaranteed .
before they can move forward with the project, state and local residents will have to approve the proposal in a referendum on the november ballot. many residents in rhode island have persistently voiced their concerns about potential negative impacts of a casino in their local communities, including crime, addiction, and general moral corruption. but the economic benefits of the proposed tiverton casino outweigh the potential drawbacks: the new project will give rhode island a competitive edge against the expansion of the industry within massachusetts, create new local jobs, and strengthen the state and local economies .

rhode island benefits when gambling dollars stay within state lines. a recent study by the spectrum gaming group, which took into account both the closure of the newport grand and the construction of a new casino in taunton, found that the state of rhode island could gain up to $ 30. 2 million in tax revenue by 2019 if the tiverton casino opens. in recent history, rhode island gambling has already contributed a substantial amount of taxes to the state: the ri lottery (which includes video lottery terminals, table games and traditional lottery tickets) constitutes about 10% of the revenue for rhode island’s general fund, which is used to finance state expenditures for transportation, natural resource management, and education, among other projects — all activities that don’t reek of moral corruption. the tax revenue from the tiverton casino project would likely be used to cover the payroll of state and local government employees, which would create more jobs and free up existing funds for other projects .
one of the most widespread concerns about the construction of a new casino is that the facility will increase the crime rate in the area. however, the evidence on the link between casinos and crime is mixed, and most of the research on the subject was done more than a decade ago. a notable study by grinols studying more than 170 counties with casinos from 1977 - 1996 found a significant link between the presence of casinos and a higher crime rate; however, this research may not ring true today. a study by the associated press in 2012 found that crime has fallen in the towns surrounding the foxwoods resort casino and mohegan sun in connecticut .

this place is not a casino! ! table games are an afterthought. you can drive all the way down there and find out that the table games don' t open until some time later in the day. management is nonexistent and totally unprofessional. do yourself a favor and continue on to foxwoods where they' re open 24 / 7, and they actually reward you with some decent points at least .
