Eaton said: “Our expanded gaming floor, combined with other property improvements, represents a $100 million investment in Rhode Island to generate much-needed revenue for our home state.”
According to the company, the casino’s expanded footprint also blends with the existing facility design, incorporating “several feng shui principles such as a large waterfall.”
Additionally, a new and contemporary food hall provides seating for 150 guests, including an exclusive private dining area with exterior views. Finally, adjacent to the new 16-seat casino bar is ‘Plume & Proof,’ a cigar lounge with access to an outdoor smoking patio.
Earlier this year, the company opened the Spa Light – International Spa, which claims to be the region’s largest Korean-inspired spa, comprising 14,000 square feet. Furthermore, a separate dining room for spa clients serves Korean cuisine. Suffolk Construction, who served as the general contractor, managed both projects.

“This expansion marks another important milestone for not only Bally’s Lincoln but for Rhode Island itself,” said Governor McKee. “We are grateful to Bally’s for its ongoing partnership that contributes to our workforce, our economy, and our State as a whole. I also want to congratulate Bally’s on the successful completion of this crucial expansion and continued investment in Rhode Island’s future.”
