I have a few weekdays off in the near future and I'm thinking about taking some time at Twin River in Lincoln, RI. Anyone know for sure if they have Pai-Gow midday during the weekday (I'm assuming they do) and what the table limits are?
Anyone ever play here before? Have heard mixed things about the place such as dealers making mistakes and log wait times for a game. Overall are the games good and how long are the waits on the weekends?

From KHDTX13 (will be updated):
Press briefings will be on Thursday from now on (exception of next week, which is Wednesday for Thanksgiving)
Good news: Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are 95% effective (data released Monday/Tuesday), RI will pilot Pfizer vaccine distribution - "there truly is light at the end of the tunnel"
Until the vaccine is available (hopefully some availability by the end of the year, anticipating widespread availability by Spring), we must double down on following restrictions so as to not overwhelm hospitals
Data
See numbers above
'Targeted restrictions' have not helped the situation
Trending data is "alarming" - we have passed all three thresholds (5.9% weekly positivity, 247 hospital admissions, 535 cases per 100,000)
"I have tried to avoid a lockdown" - targeted restrictions are NOT working
"Severe restrictions" being laid out today
New Restrictions
Intro - Rationale
With so much community spread, it's hard to pinpoint a single activity/location/group to trace source of infection
Patterns among people testing positive: At-home social gatherings, people going to restaurants/bars, people with others outside household
"Need to reduce mobility, reduce connectivity with people outside household"
"We know that schools are not major spreaders" I can already guess what's staying open...
High schools are more problematic than others
Path from now to end of the year
Current restrictions will be extended until the Sunday after Thanksgiving with two exceptions, effective immediately:
Social gathering limit is lowered to a single household (No social gatherings with people you don't live with)
All "big box stores" (>30,000 square ft) must have a plan for Black Friday crowds and cannot allow anyone without a mask cannot enter (stores should pass out masks)
Thanksgiving
Please do not travel
If planning to go to a restaurant, please use extreme caution
Stay at home with the people you live with
Rapid testing available at TF Green Airport Sat/Sun/Mon after Thanksgiving and Nat'l Guard to remind anyone who is returning from out-of-state to quarantine
Beginning 11/30 - "RI on Pause"
"Two week pause" in effect until 12/13
Hoping that this will ONLY be two weeks - if it does not work, total lockdown
High schools will shift to limited/hybrid plan after Thanksgiving at discretion of superintendents
Social gatherings limited to one household
Indoor dining at 33%, outdoor dining/takeout not affected
Retail at current capacity limits
Houses of worship limited to 25% capacity with a max of 125 I understand distancing but that's insanity
Completely Closed
Colleges will have NO in-person instruction after Thanksgiving and will test all students before they leave campus for the holidays
All offices must move to remote work for everyone who can (521-HELP for technical assistance)
Bars (drinks can be delivered to tables but no bar areas open)
Bowling alleys, gyms, casinos
Indoor sports, gyms, group fitness classes, all sports except college/professional
Stimulus grants announced next week for affected businesses
Comments on "pause"
"This will only work if we do it" - threatening a full lockdown if this doesn't limit our numbers in 3 weeks
"I have been utterly ineffective in getting people to follow rules in their own homes" - jokes about memes showing her arriving at people's houses (one of the few candid moments I've seen from her lately)
Figuring out if it's working - reservation data at restaurants, test positivity, traffic data, enforcement data
Hospitals are currently at 97% of COVID beds filled - we do NOT want to ration beds/limit care
If COVID beds get filled, we may need to start cutting off other procedures incl. cancer screenings, important surgeries to make room for COVID patients
We are on track to need Cranston field hospital by week after Thanksgiving
Hospitals are working with colleges to hire medical students
There will still be greater restriction after 12/13, but cannot comment on exactly what as it depends on how this goes
Improvements to testing
2,000 daily asymptomatic tests added
300 daily symptomatic tests added
Expanding testing site at Wickford Junction
New site at McCoy opened today
New sites at Waldorf School and Stop & Shop in Greenville coming soon
Contact tracing is behind but we are continuing to hire more staff
Check results constantly and immediately isolate if positive (even if RIDOH has not called yet)
Increasing hotels available to people who need to isolate
Expanding food delivery services
Question Highlights
Q: CDC saying that in-person learning is dangerous (I'm glad someone asked) A: "I believe that question is a mis-characterization of the data" - referencing Dr. Jha She sounds MAD about this question "we could argue about the risk, but children will suffer irreparable lifelong harm not being in school" She is trusting HS students to follow rules and "districts should keep kids in school if they can" Q: "Wasn't the idea with PPE/testing that we wouldn't have to go back? What happened?" A: "It turns out people don't follow rules very well when we have to do it for so long" Q: What is the goal in terms of ease of scheduling/getting test results and do we need to scale back asymptomatic testing? A: It isn't a perfect system (waiting to get tested) but we are working to fix it. "It's hard for me to believe you can't get a test at all" Personal note: I'm currently trying to get tested (possible exposure at work even though I have no symptoms) and I had to go online to CVS at 3:00 in the morning to get an appointment 3 days later Q: Isn't distance learning with a teacher better than in-person with a substitute? Is there a percentage (like NY) where we would switch to full distance? A: High schoolers work better with distance learning but younger kids really struggle. NY: We do not use a single metric to determine whether to shut down - "as long as schools can keep the environment safe" we will keep them open. Q: Thoughts on a possible 4-6 week lockdown or advisory to governors to do so under President Biden? A: "If congress would do their jobs" and send an appropriate stimulus, we could discuss a lockdown in RI Q: Why is Twin River open until 11/30? A: "If I could shut everything down immediately I would do that" but there is a need to be practical (restaurants who have increased inventory for next week will still be able to use it) Q: Crisis standards of care? A (Dr. Scott): Principles to help hospitals make difficult ethical decisions about care - we do NOT want to get here. (Gina): We cannot staff that many beds - patients may have medical students as nurses or not get checked on at all. We may have to "shut off" non-COVID procedures Q: Nursing home staffing (can people volunteer to bathe their family members, etc)? A: "Caregiver exemption" is in the works (allowing family to get certified to give care similar to CNA) Q: Is RI still independently validating vaccine data despite Pfizer pilot program? A: Yes. Q: Will you get vaccinated? A: I will not be first in line (not necessary), but yes. My apologies, I missed a few questions Q: General assembly? A: They will need to meet before 12/31 to pass a 2021 budget - a space is being set up at the Vets to allow a safe in-person meeting or they may choose to do so virtually Q: HS sports? A: Winter season cannot start until January - no practices at all during pause
RI keeping casinos open despite warning over crowds and COVID-19
https://www.wpri.com/news/ri-keeping-casinos-open-despite-warning-over-crowds-and-covid-19/ LINCOLN, R.I. (WPRI) – While Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo has urged Rhode Islanders to avoid large social gatherings due to the coronavirus outbreak, officials say they will not shutter the two state-owned casinos that generate millions of dollars for the state. During a news conference Wednesday, Raimondo called for social distancing in an attempt to reduce spread of the new virus that causes COVID-19, a disease that’s killed more than 4,700 people worldwide. She asked residents to avoid gatherings larger than 250 people. “We have one shot to get this right,” Raimondo said. “Everybody, get in the boat and row in the same direction, so we can put a lid on coronavirus.” But the advice doesn’t appear to apply to the state-owned casinos in Lincoln and Tiverton where hundreds of people can meet to eat, drink and gamble on slot machines and table games. Twin River, which operates the casinos, announced Thursday it would postpone concerts and other events, but otherwise remain open under aggressive cleaning measures it calls the “Aware and Active Program.” “Safety of our employees and guests is of the utmost importance to us,” said Craig Sculos, general manager of Twin River in Lincoln. “The program reinforces the importance of personal hygiene, remaining at home when feeling ill and safe travel practices, among other recommendations.” The decision underscores a significant challenge facing businesses and public health officials throughout the country: how to curb the spread of the illness while also minimizing harm to the economy. In Rhode Island, the two casinos are important money makers for both publicly traded Twin River Worldwide Holdings and the R.I. Lottery, representing the state’s third largest revenue source. The state Lottery brings in about $400 million for the roughly $10 billion annual budget. When asked Wednesday how she squared the recommendation against large gatherings and the continued operation of the two casinos, Raimondo mostly demurred. “If you’re feeling healthy and you’re able to be in a space where you can have some distance — not prolonged contact — wash your hands regularly, then go ahead and do that,” Raimondo said. Pressed on the question Thursday, Raimondo spokesperson Josh Block defended the policy. “The casino is a large facility and we are ensuring they take every precaution to contain the spread of coronavirus,” Block said. “That includes ensuring the availability of soap and hand sanitizer and limiting close-proximity interactions. To the extent that the casino has large events or conferences planned, those will be cancelled or postponed.” The state and Twin River did not immediately respond to questions about which entity has the authority to shut the casinos down. But such a move would not be without precedent. Twin River closed the Lincoln casino in January 2015 during a blizzard, marking the first time that had happened since it became a 24/7 operation, according to the Twin River’s then-executive chairman John Taylor Jr. “We don’t have locks on the door,” Taylor said on WPRI 12’s Executive Suite at the time. “We actually had to go out and get chains to lock the place up.” The current circumstances, of course, are different than a one-time storm. The lack of business for such a long time at the casinos would have a dramatic impact on finances. Twin River slot machines generated an average of $920 per minute in profit during the month of January, according to a Target 12 analysis of state revenue data. R.I. Health Department Director Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott on Wednesday said the best way to protect against the virus at a casino is to wash your hands after using machines. But she also made it clear that any activity — including gambling — comes with some level of risk. “The most important message is being able to stay home if you are ill,” Alexander-Scott said. “If everyone is able to do that, you can enjoy your activities at a casino knowing that there’s less of a risk of illness occurring.”

I'm also happy to look at lists, but these are my priority wants.
Ok, the topic is misleading, but hear me out. I've been playing craps for many years and I have a decent table in my basement. So, I'm very comfortable throwing dice. I'm right-handed and prefer throwing from straight up the table. I set my dice and usually do pretty well (15-20 throws). Well, one night I was at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI. It was getting late and my wife was already up at our comp'd room. I decided to spend another hour or so at the craps table. The table was pretty busy, but very cold, so I was playing minimums on 6 and 8 until it was my turn to throw. I was located on the hook just next to 1st base. Slightly off from where I prefer to be. But, nevertheless, it was a decent place for a righty. I get the dice and throw two 7's and a yo then a point. Now everyone (including myself) is placing bets in anticipation of a table changing throw. I get the dice back, bets everywhere, I set the dice for throwing hardways, swing back.... and the dice take a shit right out of my fingers, land just past halfway down the table and you guessed it. 7 out. I was deflated. I can hear people mumbling and complaining that I can't even reach the other end of the table. Needless to say, I walked away and went to bed. But the story doesn't end there.... I got up the next morning, determined to go back down and vindicate myself as well as regain my pride. I got my spot straight up the table, got the dice, two yo's and a point. Bets are flying! "Dice are out!" I set them up, assuring myself that I'm not going to make myself look like an idiot again, nice controlled swing back with my eyes on my opposite-end passline target and..... it freakin' happened AGAIN!! I knew then that it was not meant to be my weekend. Color up! I gotta go. I've been back many times and haven't had the same issue. But, man, this was one that I'll never forget.
So I was shooting craps at twin river casino (Lincoln RI) over the weekend, and the new shift of dealers comes in. The nametag on the stick girl? Chulah! Sadly I couldn't take a pic and my GF had no idea wtf I was talking about. Did I win? No. No I did not.
Folded AA and KK in 2 different hands. So proud of myself!
I am new live 1-2 cash player. Started playing 3 months ago. Net net have lost more than won. But definitely I feel I understand more whats going on now compared to 2 weeks or a month ago. Hand description is not to the point. I tried best. So yesterday at Twin River casino in RI pretty active table. A couple sits down and lady has won few pots with good solid Top pair hands and lost to trips once. I get AA (forgot the suits, no flush draw involved) in Small blind. 5 limps to me, I make 15 (which was ok as everyone was raising 10-12 consistently). Two calls UTG (guy) and MP (lady, UTG's GF/wife). Flop is K5T rainbow. I bet 25 both call. Turn is 9 I bet 50 UTG folds and lady jams all in for 225. I cover her. I tanked and tried to talk to her. She was smiling and confident. I said will you show if I fold, she says I'll show if you put in the money. (Which is meaningless but I got that she wanted me to put money in). I folded and she shows KK for a flopped set. I have gone broke in these situations so many times. I thought at the very least she'll have 2 pair and I can't beat that so I folded. Set was stronger than I expected. So happy that I lost minimum in that. Second hand was similarly from BB, different table but active as well. (Man Friday and Saturdays nights are crazy). I get KK. 5 Limps to me, I make 10, 3 calls. Flop 684 (two hearts). I bet 25, UTH raises to 50, MP calls and Button jams for 125. I am in such a bad spot. I would have definitely jammed my $800 stack just few weeks ago. I made a fold. (For many it may be easy fold but its new to me) So I fold, both the rest call. turn is 2 of hearts. UTG jams for his rest 45, MP calls. River brick immaterial. UTG and MP have J high and 8 high flushes and Button had flopped straight. Although I should call hands which are drawing but when person raises me and next cold calls its difficult to put both on draw. Maybe someone has set or at least 2 pair. Button jam was too strong which made it easy for me. But I came out of these hands losing minimum. So happy. This weekend I am up for $960 (Friday+Saturday), Online is not something I enjoy or make any money in. I love live cause sometimes some people are just too funny. And some crazies betting 20 times the pot. Just wanted to share my experience. *Edit - I understand now, preflop raise was not enough. Should have raised more.
Sports Betting Revenues Falling Short of States’ Expectations
Legalized sports betting has failed to generate the revenue expected in Rhode Island. The state initially budgeted for $23.5 million in gambling related revenues for the fiscal year ending in June 2019 (began in Nov. ’18). The target was lowered to $11.5 million in January, but R.I. lottery officials are reporting that the state has posted just 1.3% of that total ($150,000) to date. Governor Gina Raimondo attributed the shortfall to “a little bit [of a] later start than we thought”; wagering volume ($250 million anticipated vs. $813 million projected) and gambler performance (better than expected) have also forced the need for a rebalancing of the budget. While it’s all but assured that Rhode Island will fall short of January’s revamped projection, it should experience significant revenue growth in 2020; Raimondo signed a bill last week that will permit online sports betting within the state. Howie Long-Short: The Patriots Super Bowl win contributed to a tough February for Rhode Island’s sportsbooks – the pair lost a combined $890,000 on $20.7 million in wagers during the month. They’re off to a better start in March, having raked in +/- $1 million over the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. The state is entitled to 51% of sports betting revenues (after expenses). Rhode Island is certainly not a proxy for the country – it has just 2 licensed casinos – but “most of the states” that have passed legislation since PASPA was struck down have fallen short of projections. It’s certainly no coincidence that like Rhode Island, all but New Jersey (which out-earned Nevada for the 1st time in Jan.) failed to establish mobile/online as an option. Rhode Island’s 2020 budget assumes sports betting will bring in $30.3 million in revenue, including $3 million in mobile fees. Democratic Senate President Dominick Ruggerio has acknowledged that the financial forecasts will need to be rebalanced (see: lowered) in the wake of fiscal 2019 results, but the nominal revenue Raimondo attributed to mobile – relative to the total income projected – makes me think they’re still getting bad “information” (or that they simply don’t understand the marketplace). New Jersey sportsbooks generated 80% of their January revenue from mobile and online platforms. Once Twin Rivers begins taking online/mobile bets, business will pick up. It will become easier for residents of the state to place wagers and with Massachusetts yet to legalize sports betting, the Rhode Island licensee should pick up some action from residents of the neighboring state (via the William Hill app). For reference purposes, FanDuel claims 9% of its New Jersey business comes from those living in New York and another 4% from those based in Pennsylvania. The 2020 budget assumes mobile sports betting will be available next winter, but there’s a current push within the Assembly to have it in place by the start of the NFL season. Rhode Island’s 2 casinos (Lincoln and Tiverton) are owned by Twin River Worldwide Holdings. On Friday, the company (which also owns the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, MS) “added to its geographic base” closing on the purchase of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment. Shares of Twin River common stock subsequently began trading (at $29) on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TRWH. Fan Marino: 75% of those who placed bets (against the spread) on the Super Bowl at Rhode Island’s 2 brick and mortar casinos took the hometown Patriots; as a result, the pair lost $2.3 million on the game. It’s not atypical for a sportsbook to take a loss on a big game – like the Super Bowl – when the hometown team covers. Fans bet with their hearts and the action tends to skew “towards the geographically favored team.” The books don’t move the lines to reflect the heavy action though, because doing so would leave them susceptible to sharp money (going the other way) taking advantage of mispriced odds.
I don’t want to do Vegas. The flight times between LAS and ORD/MDW are awful, and I’m staring down a $600+ RT ticket to avoid any red eyes. Are there any in-person US sites worth traveling to? I’ve read nothing but bad things about Twin Rivers in RI, Penn Nat’l would involve a rather expensive flight to MDT, and all of the WV sportsbooks look like they are from 2005. I’m leaning towards either Caesars Windsor or Casino Niagara at this point. Any recommendations outside of staying home and using Bovada and the like?
So I have had a problem gambling for around 2 years now. It started with baseball and overseas books and slowly crept into other sports, my lowest point when I was betting hundreds on Brazilian Junior Basketball, id find myself sitting in my car for an hour refreshing the score hoping that I would hit the over or under. I then ran into some financial problems because I would go big and put more money down than what I should have, impulsiveness caused this thing to spiral out. I then got introduced into table games which baccarat provided some financial relief but then burdened me even further. Long story short, 24 months later I’m down 4.5k that I owe to a bank, my local bookie in town thinks I tried commuting suicide to get out of a debt and I battle every day with the temptation to gamble, especially with Twin River (casino in RI) opening its first sports book in New England. I haven’t gambled in two weeks but I find myself close to the urge, especially on the weekends when football is on.
