Rhode Island is set to become the latest state in the US to offer online poker after lawmakers passed two bills legalizing online poker and casino gaming.
Rhode Island lawmakers passed identical bills in the House and Senate instructing the State Lottery Division to "implement, operate, conduct, and control iGaming, at the Twin River and the Twin River-Tiverton gaming facilities."
The bills give control of igaming to Bally’s Corporation, which owns the Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort and Tiverton Casino & Hotel.
Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee signed the bills earlier this month, which are set to go into effect on March 1, 2024.
