Rhode Island first, and largest, state-operated but privately owned casino is about to get bigger.

State officials from the governor on down were slated to join union leaders at a groundbreaking Thursday for an anticipated $100-million expansion of the Bally’s Twin River Casino Resort in Lincoln.

The expansion – mandated in the law that authorized a new, no-bid 20-year state Lottery and casino contract – will add a projected 40,000 square feet to the gaming floor, a 10,000-square-foot spa, and what is being described as an “enhanced food hall area.”
