Rhode Island’s two land-based casinos, Bally’s Tiverton and Bally’s Twin River, reported a combined figure of $52 million in April, a 3.5% decline compared to the previous year’s figure of $54 million.
The monthly revenue report published by the Rhode Island Lottery showed that of the combined revenue figure, video lottery terminals generated a combined $43 million in revenue. Table games produced $9 million in revenue.
Bally’s Twin River Casino recorded revenue of $39.3 million, down 4.9% from April 2024 $41 million. Bally’s Tiverton Casino reported $12.8 million this April, up 1.1% from $12.6 million last year.
The state’s casino revenue decline comes as the Legislature appears to be pressing ahead with banning indoor smoking at the two Bally’s venues.
Bally’s has an exemption to the smoking indoors ban introduced more than two decades ago in the state, but is seeking a new marketing deal with the state to offset any monetary loss from a potential smoking ban.
