Rhode Island has now joined the ranks of US states embracing the burgeoning iGaming industry, becoming the seventh state to do so. On Tuesday, iGaming officially launched in the New England state with the introduction of Bally’s and its online casino.
Quick Turnaround
The journey toward this milestone began when Rhode Island passed the necessary legislation on June 22, 2023. Governor Dan McKee signed Senate Bill 948 into law, effectively extending Bally’s land-based casino monopoly into the realm of iGaming.
Under the new regime, Bally’s customers in the state can now enjoy a variety of gaming options via desktop or an iOS mobile app. Initially, around 170 slot games will be available to players who are at least 21 years old and hold an online or mobile account with Bally’s.
The recent public launch of the online gaming product followed a four-day technical trial period that commenced on Friday. To enhance the experience, live table games supplier Stakelogic is supporting the launch with its live dealer and table games software and studio technology.
Rhode Island Senate President Dominick Ruggerio emphasized that iGaming would position the state at the forefront of the competitive gaming industry. The move reflects Rhode Island’s commitment to staying ahead in this rapidly evolving market.
