This was in part due to nearby competition from places like Foxwoods, Mohegan and other resort casinos which opened up in neighboring states like Connecticut. In 2013 Twin River started to expand its gambling options and began offering table games. It is worth noting that the age to gamble here, like most Rhode Island casinos, is just 18 years old. Since that time they have underwent several ownership/management changes, and it wasn’t until 1992 when they expanded their gaming options to feature slot machines. The venue started out in the 1940’s as “Lincoln Raceway” which strictly offered thoroughbred and greyhound racing.
They are somewhat of a hybrid between a resort-casino and a racino, though they do not offer a hotel or any amenities. Twin River is a fairly small casino located in Lincoln, Rhode Island just outside of Providence.
