A 1973 constitutional amendment created the Rhode Island Lottery Commission to regulate the lottery but disbanded in 2005. By mid-2006, the gaming commission became the State Lottery Division of the State of Rhode Island Department of Revenue.

Rather than this state government website, Rhode Island gaming history, regulations, and financial statistics are at the Rhode Island Lottery website.

It regulates all gaming in Rhode Island, including video lottery, table games, and sports wagering. Further, it is responsible for gaming income tax collection for Rhode Island’s two casinos and receives a share of each gaming machine’s revenue.

Casinos in Rhode Island

There are two non-tribal casinos in Rhode Island. These casinos offer video lottery terminal (VLT) gaming machines, table games, sports betting, and pari-mutuel wagering despite not having racetracks. All VLTs offer six or more games, including slots, blackjack, keno, and three versions of poker.

The largest casino in Rhode Island is Twin River Casino Hotel having 4,200 gaming machines and over 100 table games.
