According to developers of the $140 million Tiverton Casino Hotel in the town of Tiverton, Rhode Island, gamblers can begin placing bets a month earlier than originally expected. The gambling facility, which will be equipped with 32 table games and up to 1,000 slot machines, was built just a few hundred feet from the Massachusetts state line. The property also has an 84-room hotel.
According to John Taylor, chairman of Twin River Management Group, construction crews made “tremendous progress” over the winter months. “We’re grateful that the construction team on the job have really dug in and allowed for this accelerated opening date,' he said.
In a late May press release, Taylor gave an update on the project.

With respect to the hotel, the rooms are in the process of being dry-walled and within the coming month, we’ll be tiling bathrooms and painting. Last, the garage is scheduled to be completed within the next month or so.”
State voters approved the casino in November 2016 by a 55-45 percent margin. Question 1 also established the state receiving 15.5 percent of table games winnings and 61 percent of video lottery terminal revenues.
