The Rhode Island deputies concluded the last day of the session in 2023, one day. This year, the state became the first state to approve an online casino bill.
Later Thursday, after heated debates, the House of Representatives approved a bill allowing gambling on the Internet or games. The House of Representatives approved the bill by 57 votes to 11. The same bill, which was approved by the Senate just a week ago, was adopted by 56 votes to 11 by Gregory Costantino (D-44).
Despite loud votes on the bill, a number of proposed amendments were ultimately rejected. Thus, the incomplete bill is now headed to Governor Daniel McKee's table.
The launch date of the online casino on Rhode Island was set for March 1, 2024, prior to the signing of the governor. Rhode Island will become the seventh state to legalize online games or online casinos.
Several states, including New York, Indiana, Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire, considered adopting the online game law this year, but failed.

The bill provides for the use of Live Dealers for online games at tables simultaneously with the broadcast of games through mobile devices. The game is defined as a casino-style game that uses cards, bones or equipment for money, loans or typical values.
A Rhode Island lottery ticket will be the regulator, whose offer will create one online casino application. The minimum age required for iGaming is 21 years, while for all other games on Rhode Island is 18. Table games will be taxed at 15.5%, online slots at 61%.
The state government will also be allowed to enter into multilateral agreements on igaming. This is a potentially huge difference in online poker in small states such as Rhode Island, with a population of just over a million. Lawmakers say Rhode Island works with neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut to maintain industry competitiveness.
Shift movement
This spring, the Internet gambling bill has not been implemented anywhere. The then Senate Speaker Dominic Ruggerio introduced an online casino bill in late April. Less than two months later, she passed through both rooms.
When the bill reaches Governor McKee's table, it will be able to operate within six days. If he does not do anything, the bill will become law on the seventh day.
Bally's will offer online games through the IGT platform, which runs in the offline casino of the week. Bali's headquarters are located in Providence. "Bally" expects to make an additional $130 million total profit from the game. Gambling is the third largest source of income in the state.
