Rhode Island is one of 16 states waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to decide on the legality of sports betting, although it is clear what the state’s elected officials think the outcome of the deliberations will be. Gov. Gina M. Raimondo already has included revenue from this form of gambling in the fiscal 2019 budget, and it the General Assembly is preparing legislation that would make it legal to place bets in Twin River Management Group Inc.’s two facilities, the Twin River Casino in Lincoln and the coming Twin River Tiverton that will replace Newport Grand.

Does sports betting sound like something you would be interested in doing?
