Bally’s und GLP Capital verlängern ihre Vereinbarung für das Twin River Lincoln Casino bis 2028 – ein wichtiger Schritt für Stabilität und Wachstum in Rhode Island.

Promoters interested in developing a casino in the Rhode Island town of Charleston next to 31 acres owned by the Narragansett Indians have approached the owner of 81 acres. The owner, a Charleston developer, has offered the town the chance to buy the land to keep it out of their hands since they might be interested in partnering with the tribe. However, the town says it probably wouldn’t be able to raise the [[USD]] 2 million asking price.

Twin River casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island says that because it hands over 60 percent of its profits to the state that it’s going under. So it’s asking the state to take less. In return, it promises to pay more! It would start by promising to give the state USD 500 million up front. It wants the state to cut its take from 61.45 percent to 25 percent. “The situation is dire. We are standing on the edge of a precipice,” announced a spokesman for the casino.

Providence, Rhode Island -- It was the slot machine that kept on giving -- and giving. A malfunctioning video lottery terminal at Twin River gave gamblers credit for twice as much money as they had inserted, erroneously paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of two months. The machine, installed in May, was removed on July 15 after the problem was discovered.
