“We have been informed by the Rhode Island Department of Revenue, Lottery Division that Twin River Casino Hotel and Tiverton Casino Hotel will remain temporarily closed until further notice. Like most Rhode Islanders, we continue to believe that the State's continued efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus are critically important, and we further believe our continued temporary closure is necessary to help ensure the health and safety of our employees, customers, and all residents of Rhode Island.
 
As we announced last week, we have begun to work diligently to implement additional protective measures for our customers upon re-opening. We also remain in constant contact with our State regulators on our progress.  We will continue to keep you apprised of any updates relative to the temporary closure of the two Twin River properties in Rhode Island. Thank you.”
