Rhode Island quietly became the seventh state with legal online casino gambling. On June 20, Gov. Dan McKee signed the iGaming bill into law. SB948 permits online slots and table games to launch as early as March 1.
The only evidence that “Little Rhody” added legal online casino gambling on Tuesday showed up on the Rhode Island General Assembly site today. Perhaps because the Ocean State’s online gambling “marketplace” will be a monopoly, there was no fanfare.
None of McKee’s tweets or press releases touted the bill becoming law. Most of the press releases, tweets, and official acts related to him legalizing Juneteenth as a state holiday.
