Legislation sought by the Bally’s Corporation to allow “online casino gambling” – otherwise known as “igaming” – has been introduced in the Rhode Island legislature by Senate President Dominick Ruggerio and Rep. Gregory Costantino, whose House district encompasses the Bally’s Twin River Casino in Lincoln.
Bally’s argument for the legislation (S0948): “to enhance state revenue and better position the state’s casinos in the competitive New England gaming market.”
“This legislation is a first step in the public review process around potential iGaming in Rhode Island,” said Ruggerio and House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi in a joint statement.
