The amended bill increases the state's take from the slot machines at Rhode Island's casinos and enhances other commitments from both companies.
House Speaker Joe Shekarchi said it's a better deal for taxpayers.
"The legislation increases revenue to our state and preserves critical jobs," Shekarchi, D-Warwick, said in a release.
Under the revised bill, the upfront payment to the state will increase from $25 million to $27 million. 
It also calls for the acceleration of job creation, increased financial commitments, and a 50,000-square-foot expansion to Twin River Casino in Lincoln.
