Despite the efforts of the Narragansett Tribe of Indians (who have made multiple attempts to open up a gambling resort in RI during the last 20 years), there are no Indian casinos active in the state. It’s unclear whether this will change in the future, but for now, you’ll have to focus your attentions on the two large-scale commercial resorts in Lincoln and Tiverton.
Rhode Island is one of 10 US states to have legalized the operation of so-called ‘racinos’, which are classed as casino resorts that feature a racetrack. However, while you can place sports and horse racing wagers at the commercial Twin River casino, we have yet to see a dedicated structure of this type built in the state.
Back in the day when offline gambling was largely prohibited throughout North America, so-called ‘riverboat’ casinos were typically built to exploit a legal loophole and allow games of chance. Many exist to this day, with an approximately 63 spread across six US states.
While there are none licensed in Rhode Island, the nearest state with this type of resort is Indiana (which has six registered riverboat casinos in total). So, if you’re not happy with the selection of casinos in RI, be sure to check the next section to review your full range of options.

As we’ve said, there are currently two Rhode Island gambling cities, each of which is home to a single casino resort. At present, there are no plans to build one brick-and-mortar casinos, as while RI has recently legalized sports betting, this is likely to be driven online and through the existing Twin River brand.

Rhode Island is certainly home to a large number of casino games and verticals, from around 5,100 traditional and video reel slots to various iterations of roulette and blackjack. Since the legalization of sports betting, you can also wager on several disciplines such as football, baseball, basketball and tennis.
Additional DetailsThere are also 22 poker tables in Rhode Island, all of which can be found at the Twin River resort.
Additional DetailsThese seven tournaments can be found at both casinos in the state of RI.
Additional DetailsThere’s no French Roulette available at either RI casino.
Additional DetailsMost eight-deck games, with splitting allowed up to three hands and the dealer standing on soft 17s at most tables.
Additional DetailsBoth Rhode Islands casinos offer access to sports betting, after this practice was legalized in September 2019.
In addition to a universal federal tax of 24%, winners in RI will be required to pay up to 5.99% of their take under the state’s existing personal income laws. This creates a top tax rate of up to 29.99%, while winning sports bet wagers may be subject to a much higher charge of 51%.
Rhode Island’s gambling landscape has evolved significantly over the decades, beginning in 1934 with the legalization of pari-mutuel betting on horse races. Here are the key developments in this historical journey:
Despite the recent decision to legalize mobile sports betting, the prospects of extending this legislation to online casino gameplay remain slim for the time being. Interestingly, mobile sports betting is currently overseen by the Rhode Island Lottery, with any winnings generated through this platform currently taxed at a rate of 51%.
The use of drugs is expressly prohibited in both Rhode Island casinos, although you are allowed to smoke in these establishments in designated areas.
You need to be aged 21 or over to wager in either the Twin River or Tiverton casinos, and neither resort allows you to bring your children inside.
The open carry of handguns is permitted for citizens with a carry permit issued by the attorney general, it’s therefore permitted by law to take this into a Rhode Island casino.
Only service dogs are allowed into a Rhode Island casino resort, so pets aren’t permitted either on the gambling floor or the neighboring hotels.
If gambling is causing an issue in your life, you can visit Rhode Island’s National Council on Problem Gambling. The organization can provide a number of resources for anyone experiencing issues.
