Lincoln Park in Rhode Island to Exceed the Best Casinos

Nothing could be better for Rhode Island's Lincoln Park dog track than the renovations that BLB Investors LLC is planning to give this old gambling establishment.  It may not be like Atlantic City casinos, or even new age online casinos, yet Lincoln Park will become a thriving betting destination for Rode Island residents.

After pledging nearly $125 million to literally transform Lincoln Park into what could be the state's top entertainment venue, BLB Investors threw a ribbon-cutting party with several prominent Rhode Island business leaders and casino gaming professionals in attendance.  After a delicious dinner of shrimp and gourmet bubbly, the investment firm gave a presentation as to how the next eighteen month will unfold in producing a world-class casino or sorts.

Beginning with an additional 160,000 square feet to the park, there will be over 1,000 video lottery terminals (which are quite similar to the slot machines found in online casinos), new restaurants and bars, as well as a 2,000 seat theatre for professional productions and concerts.  All in all, the upgrade will create over five-hundred new jobs and generate millions in tax revenue for Rhode Island.  In fact, the state gets 60% of all lottery sales, which is greater than any state gets from gambling machines, whether they be in actual casinos or online.
