Rhode Island is the smallest state in the US, so it’s no surprise that it only has two casinos.
It also doesn’t help that the surrounding states around Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, both have thriving casino industries offering some of the best resorts in the US. Therefore, many Rhode Islanders travel across the border to gamble.
So, what can you expect from Rhode Island casinos? Let’s take a look.

More Than Gambling
Nicknamed the ‘Ocean State’ Rhode Island has over 400 miles of coastline so there is plenty to see and do outside of the casinos. Top ideas include:
- Beaches – With so much coastline, you just know there’s going to be some fabulous beaches. Great spots include Narragansett Beach, Misquamicut State Beach, Easton’s Beach and Newport’s Cliff Walk. You can choose from a range of watersports too such as kayaking, surfing and sailing.
- Providence – The capital city has lots of hidden gems and places to explore. The mini metropolis is home to the famous Brown University, Rhode Island School Of Design Museum Of Art plus lots of art galleries and quirky eateries. A must-see is the award-winning WaterFire art installation on the three rivers in downtown Providence. This free music and fire extravaganza typically happens May through November, on Saturday evenings about twice a month.
- Cuisine – Due to its huge coastline, Rhode Island is known for its seafood cuisine and in particular clam chowder, stuffies (stuffed clams), fried clam cakes, and lobster rolls. Also worth trying is Del’s Lemonade and coffee milk which is the state drink
- Fun Days Out – There are lots of fun places to spend a day in Rhode Island such as famous estates like The Breakers, Marble House, and Rosecliff, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Block Island, Blackstone Valley and Roger Williams Park Zoo.
