The opening was at 10:00 this morning, Sept 1st. This casino is owned and managed by Twin River management group. TRMG also owns and manages Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI and The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, MS. Tiverton Hotel Casino is in Tiverton RI about 400 feet from the Massachusetts border and that is no coincidence.

Penetration was? Let's just say that I'm fussy about pen and I did not hesitate to sit down.
