Rhode Island casinos begin to offer table games

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – Rhode Island’s two casinos started offering some table games again on Tuesday.

The Twin River Casino Hotel in Lincoln and the Tiverton Casino Hotel, which both closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, entered the third phase of the state’s economic restart by opening fully to the public at a capped capacity, expanding hours, and offering table games on a socially-distanced basis.

Under the plan, a maximum of three players per table will be allowed and all players and the dealer must wear masks. Roulette, poker and craps will not immediately be offered.

Guests and employees will have their temperatures checked.

The casinos had reopened earlier in June for video slots and electronic games only, and by invitation to rewards program members and one guest.
