LINCOLN, R.I. (WPRI) - The passage of the casino bill Tuesday by Massachusetts lawmakers has Rhode Island gaming facilities fighting to stay competitive.
Governor Deval Patrick says he will likely sign the bill which would license three resort-style casinos and one slot parlor in the Bay State.
Officials at Twin River in Lincoln, who would likely be hurt by full-fledged casinos right over the Rhode Island border, want to level the playing field.
?Passage today of the MA casino bill expected to enjoy Governor Patrick?s support further highlights the need for table games at Twin River. Rhode Islanders will have an important opportunity to level the playing field in November of 2012 by carefully considering, and then supporting, a referendum question that will allow Twin River to offer table games," said spokesperson Patti Doyle.
Twin River is currently the state?s third largest source of revenue, bringing in $270 million annually.
