What goes up must come down.
Rhode Island casinos experienced a slight year-over-year decline in revenue of 0.9% in July. Revenue dropped from $53.7 million in July 2024 to $53.2 million in July 2025.
This is not far removed from a couple of months ago, when Little Rhody saw significant growth, particularly in the iGaming sector. It also comes at a time when lawmakers are considering making Rhode Island casinos smoke-free.
Which Rhode Island Casinos Fared Best in July?
Bally’s Tiverton Casino reported a 2% increase in revenue, reaching $13.08 million, while Bally’s Twin River Casino saw a revenue decrease of 1.8%, dropping to $40.1 million. The state's slot revenue rose by 2.2% to $43.4 million, but table games revenue fell sharply, down 12.6% to $9.8 million.
Key July 2025 Casino Performance
The total revenue for Rhode Island's two commercial casinos was $53.2 million, down from $53.7 million last year, reflecting a marginal decline in overall gaming activity.
Bally’s Twin River Casino: Despite a modest 2% growth in its slot revenue, it, holding about 75% of the market share, was the primary driver of the decline, due to a decrease in table game engagement.
Bally’s Tiverton Casino: Reported year-over-year revenue growth driven by slot increases, although its table games saw a slight decline of 0.4%.
Slot vs. Table Game Trends
Slot (VLT) revenue: Increased from $42.5 million last July to $43.4 million this year, showing a continued player preference for these games.
Table games: Decreased from $11.2 million to $9.8 million, a significant drop of 12.6%, highlighting an overall softening in this sector.
Overall, Bally’s Twin River remains the dominant entity but faces declining table game engagement. In contrast, Bally’s Tiverton posted modest gains, particularly in slot play, with slot revenue rising by 2.5% from $10.8 million to $11.1 million.
Overall Impact on Rhode Island Casinos
Rhode Island's commercial casino sector remains stable, with slot revenue growth partially offsetting table game losses. However, Bally’s Twin River's declining performance tempers total state revenue, indicating a cautious outlook for the full year.
