State and local leaders Tuesday joined Bally’s Corp. to celebrate the opening of 40,000 square feet of new gaming and dining space at Bally’s Twin River Lincoln Casino.

The new gaming area features 355 slot machines, 57 table games, 27 stadium-style games, and a first-class, high-limit gaming area. The new food hall can accommodate 150 guests and includes a private dining area along with a cigar lounge with an outdoor smoking patio.

“We are pleased to celebrate today’s grand opening alongside so many of our valued partners, including Governor [Daniel J.] McKee, House and Senate leadership, our union workforce, and our regulators, the Division of Lottery and Department of Business Regulation,” said Craig Eaton, head of Bally’s Rhode Island operations. “Our expanded gaming floor, combined with other property improvements, represents a $100 million investment in Rhode Island to generate much-needed revenue for our home state.”
