NEW: Twin River to Host Gala to Celebrate Table Games Tonight

Twin River Casino will be rolling out the red carpet this evening at an invitation-only gala to celebrate the addition of table games at the Lincoln, Rhode Island gaming and entertainment venue, with regional and national celebrities on hand to join the festivities.

Table games were officially unveiled last month at the casino, with over 66 live tables with blackjack, craps, and other games now available, in addition to the casino's more than 4,500 slots, entertainment, and dining opportunities. 

Rhode Island voters approved the addition of table games this past November, when both a statewide ballot referendum, as well as in the Town of Lincoln, passed on November 6, 2012.
