Bally's Twin River Lincoln

[7] In December 1989, the owners, Alfred Ross and Joseph Linsey of Florida, agreed to sell Lincoln Greyhound Park, along with four other dog tracks in Colorado and South Dakota, for an estimated total of $80 million to United Track Racing, a joint venture between Wembley plc (the British parent company of Wembley Stadium) and United Tote (a Montana-based supplier of computerized wagering systems for racetracks).

[10] Rhode Island's 1991-92 budget authorized Lincoln and the state's other pari-mutuel facility, Newport Jai Alai, to offer off-track betting for 104 days a year.

[11] In 1992, with pari-mutuel handles dropping due to competition from the newly opened Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, Rhode Island authorized video lottery terminals with poker and blackjack games to be installed at Lincoln Park and Newport Jai Alai.

[14] In 2003, Lincoln Park and two executives were indicted on federal charges related to an alleged scheme in 2000 and 2001 to pay up to $4 million to the law firm of Rhode Island House Speaker John Harwood to gain support for an expansion of the track's slot parlor, and to block a rival casino proposed by the Narragansett Indian Tribe.

[21] The company's reorganization was largely resolved by November 2010,[22] with ownership transferred to its lenders, a group led by Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Sankaty Advisors,[23] but the bankruptcy case remained open until September 2011.

[30] In 2022, Bally's agreed to sell the real estate of the Lincoln and Tiverton casinos to Gaming and Leisure Properties in a leaseback transaction, for a total of $1 billion.

The expansion fulfills a key component of the Marc A. Crisafulli Economic Development Act enacted by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor McKee in 2021.

[32] In March 2019, the governor of Rhode Island, Gina Raimondo, signed a bill to allow mobile sports betting in the state, to begin on July 1.

[34] Bally Interactive introduced the first and only online casino experience, iGaming, that can be played anywhere in the State of Rhode Island on a desktop or as a stand-alone mobile app in 2024.
