PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- On Election Day, Rhode Islanders will decide whether to allow Newport Grand and Twin River, in Lincoln, to offer table games in addition to their video slot machines.
If voters approve the expansion, the state would get up to 18 percent of the revenue from those new games. (The state already gets 61 percent from slot machines at Twin River and Newport Grand.)
During an Oct. 14 appearance on WJAR's "10 News Conference," Newport Grand CEO Diane Hurley said that would be a good deal for Rhode Island.
"Connecticut's take on slot machines is 25 cents on the dollar. And the state's take on table games: Zero," she said, referring to that state's two Indian casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
