The river has not changed its course. Never have I experienced such a disgusting place, the bathrooms are epic in the amounts of filth and sadly the slots area is not much better, but it is darker if that makes you comfortable. Trying to find help to reload paper or fix some minor issue is excruciatingly long, on a main isle I waited 35 mins before help arrived, then they were rude, like it was my fault they had to break up their conversation and work. Like many i find the lack of cashiers and constant 'out of service' of the cash machines frustrating. It is hard to comment on the restaraunts and retail they go out of business so fast. Promotions are horrible, which I find to be the norm at most casinos, but here they are even worse perhaps if you cycle two to three thousand dollars thru the slots, next month you can buy yourself an ice cream cone, sorry if you want a sundae come back in a couple months. Having seen every contest run by this place I would advise you not to waste gas to attend, somehow they find a way to cheapen and degrade the experience that you knew was next to impossible to win, but should have some entertainment value, and they piss you off. This place is going to fold or become a gentleman's club as soon as MA opens up their casinos and that seems to be the rumored speculation why the payoff are so bad here. So if you go, go to listen to a band in a nice smokey old school way, play a slot for fun try to find a decent video poker machine, just kidding they don't have decent video poker. Most importantly, eat before you go and make sure to use the restrooms at a highway truck stop because you don't want to go here.

I have been going to Twin River for a few years now. The atmosphere is good, the restaurants are good...especially Wicked Good Restaurant, the bands are good, and sometimes they have some pretty cool bands at the Event Center. However, this is a state run Casino. When I first started going there a few years ago, the payouts were okay...pretty average for a slot parlor...win some-lose some. But as the months went by, it was VERY noticeable that something had been done to decrease the payouts. The machines at Twin River have become some of the tightest machines I have ever played. It really is too bad because it can be a fun atmosphere...but the fun goes out the window when the machines so rarely pay out anything. One cannot help but believe that the prospect of new full-scale casinos going up in Massachusetts soon has caused Twin River to tighten up. When those casinos are built, say goodbye to Twin River...unless of course they make it a full-scale casino.

So my recommendation? Go for the food, the bands, and the drinks...but unless you are walking around with a big ole' horseshoe up your butt, STAY AWAY from the slots! If you really want to make a donation to the state, save yourself some time and drop off your donation to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation! :)

Twin Rivers is actually a slot parlor and they pay 67% of their revenue in tax to the state. Most casinos pay much closer to 10% in tax and can provide more bonus items for the players. I have rarely won more than a couple of hundred dollars at one time on slots and I live 10 minutes away and go there often. The upstairs casino is smoke free but does not have all the games that are on the first level. Machines are frequently dirty and empty cups and wrappers and cigarette ashes are everywhere. Never see anyone cleaning the machines. Hard to find a technical person if the machine has paper or other problems. No attendants in the bathrooms. The player's club staff are nice. We are used to playing at casinos in Oklahoma where they have plenty of staff to clean the machines and wipe off fingerprints. If you have a hot machine and have to leave for a minute the staff are right there to watch your machine for you. Much bigger payouts and more fun in Oklahoma, and they comp hotel rooms and meals and everything is very well done. I have not seen anyone win anything over $2,600. at Twin Rivers. Food courts selections are very good and have all the Rhode Island specialties that are not available anywhere else. Good for fun but not if you are going to spend any serious dollars.

ONLY MODERATE WINNINGS @ BEST ! I KNOW SLOT UNITS ARE PROGRAMED TO PERCENTAGE'S_ BASED ON LARGE AMOUNTS OF " DEPOSITS " IN OTHER WORDS NUMEROUS # OF PLAYERS & CASH PLAYED. I ENJOY THE POSSIBILITIES OF WINNING, DISLIKE THE SMOKE, AND SERVICE PEOPLE ARE PLEASANT!

Twin River is a pseudo casino.

There are no Table games, No poker tables and No free alcoholic beverages. Coffee and soda are free.
There is video poker, blackjack and roulette. No need to tip your video host.

Their comp point system is a joke, a PENNY a point, not like Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun where it's a $1 a point.
We have never built up enough points for a free meal even though we go several times a year because it's only 15 minutes from our
house in Cumberland. Their points expire too. they don't roll over like Foxwoods and Mohegan.
We go to Foxwoods 3-4 times a year and eat FREE every time. They offer us FREE hotels rooms, and show tickets frequently.

Their "event center" is like a big gym, bleachers and fold out metal chairs.

They got rid of live greyhound racing AFTER spending a fortune to remodel the para mutuel area. good planning.

Just so you know, there has been no dog racing at this Casino for 2-3 years now. The Casino is now opened 24 hours so ther e IS overnight RV parking near the maintenance building. It is actually a nice spot.

Been going to Twin River/Lincoln EVERY WEEK sometimes 3 times a week since the 1st slot machine was put in and the service and payouts have progressively got so much worse. With the amount of money that is paid out on things like having a MUCH TOO LOUD band playing, why not take the money and put it into customer service and stop cutting the help? There are times when I have to walk from one end of the bldg to the other end and then up to the 2nd floor just to find a cashier or working ticket machine.

Twin River has expanded and renovated to be in the top ten largest casinos in the country.



Its design in the new area was designed by some of the same people who designed the Mohegan Sun, in CT.



There are more restaurants, including a buffet that is much improved. Free entertainment in the circular new casino, ala Wolf's Den at the Sun.



Mostly slot joint, includes newest slots. VP is still not very good at low denoms. If in New England, or passing through Providence, should definitely be checked out.
