RI House approves IGT/Bally s bill after sharp debate

RI House approves IGT/Bally s bill after sharp debate Published Wed May 12 2021 00:42:45 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Ian Donnis After an almost three-hour debate, the Rhode Island House of Representatives voted Tuesday, 62 to 11, to give IGT and Bally’s a 20-year no-bid contract to provide the state’s gambling services. GOP lawmakers unsuccessfully tried to amend the gambling bill, as part of what they called an attempt to strike a better deal for taxpayers. Republican representatives point to how Massachusetts takes a higher percentage of revenue from table games in that state. GOP Whip Michael Chippendale (R-Foster) said he disliked the implied threat that IGT might leave Rhode Island if it didn’t get what it wanted.
