On Thursday, Bally’s Corporation officially broke ground on the expansion of Twin River Casino Hotel in Lincoln that includes a 40,000-square foot addition to the gaming floor, a 10,000-square foot spa and enhanced food hall area.

Paul Juliano, Vice President of Operations for Bally’s Corporation, was joined by Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee, Speaker of the House Joseph Shekarchi, Senate President Dominick Ruggerio, AFL-CIO President George Nee, and Philip Gould, recently elected town administrator for Lincoln.

“Today’s ceremony marks the beginning of our $100 million investment in the State of Rhode Island and we are thrilled to break ground on a project that will involve approximately 20 construction trades over the course of the next 12 -14 months,” said Juliano, noting the casino will remain fully operational throughout construction.
