Voters
earlier this month voted in favor of casino games at Twin River Slots in
Lincoln, R.I., but not at Newport's Grand Slots. The ballot questions allowing
casino games needed to pass both statewide and within the host community.
Both ballot
questions passed statewide. Locally, the
Twin River ballot question passed easily, while the Newport Grand's ballot
question was narrowly defeated.
Casino games at Twin Rivers could be started as early as next summer.
