We had a snow storm come through the area on Tuesday and work was slow so we decided to try Rivers again Tuesday afternoon. The place was busy but not crazy and they had a lot of tables running. From a craps perspective, I counted 5 tables (one $5, three $10, and a $15).

Update as of November 30, 2020

Governor Gina Raimondo recently announced Rhode Island would enter into a two-week, statewide pause to try to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Part of that two-week pause is the closure of entertainment venues, including Twin River and Tiverton Casino Hotel.
For that reason, we will close at 10 pm on Sunday, November 29th, with the expectation that circumstances will allow us to reopen on Monday, December 14th at 6am.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience to you, our valued guest. That said, the State’s efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus are of critical importance and all of us at Twin River are committed to doing all we can to contribute to that goal.

PHASE 2 REOPENING GUIDELINES & SAFETY PROTOCOLS

The Highlights

Entry to the casino will require your driver’s license (or valid photo identification). It’s critically important that we reopen with strict crowd control measures in place. During this phase, we expect capacity to be limited by State capacity guidelines. We will offer slot machines at a safe distance separated by plexiglass or at least six feet apart, and we will offer virtual/stadium table games, with limited seating capacity and live table games (excluding craps) with plexiglass dividers. Our Hotel, Fitness Center, Racebook, Valet, and Entertainment offerings will remain CLOSED while we reimagine ways to effectively address safety concerns in those confined spaces. Our food court will be open with limited seating capacity and we will offer limited bar service in disposable cups. Our daily hours of operation will be Sunday – Thursday from 6am – 10pm and Friday and Saturday from 6am – 10:30pm. Property-wide cleaning will commence daily.

Upon Your Arrival

All of the parking lots will be open as well as the North & West entrances. Valet service will not be immediately available. Please self-park and make your way to the entrance of your favorite gaming room. Please have your face mask on as they are mandatory for all guests and staff. If you are unable to bring one, one will be provided to you. Once at the entrance, you will be greeted by security staff who will conduct a non-invasive temperature check via thermal cameras. Any guest or team member with a temperature above 100.4 degrees will not be allowed entry on that day. Team members whose responsibilities require direct contact with guests may be wearing gloves, but guests are not required to do so.

ONCE INSIDE

We encourage you to make use of the increased hand sanitizers placed at entry and exits, the casino floor and elevator landings. Sanitizing wipes will also be provided throughout the property to allow guests to clean common areas before touching. Just as we are all doing on a daily basis, guests must practice social distancing by staying six to ten feet away from other guests. The same is true while standing in lines, using elevators, kiosks, ATMs or moving around the casino floor. Remember, play smart and stay apart. We have lots of new signage strategically placed throughout the property to remind you of social distancing protocols, to guide you in the event a line is forming, and the location and import of frequently using the sanitizers provided. You might notice a lot more of our team members, including our Clean Team, on the casino floor. They are there for two important reasons: to continuously clean every nook and cranny of the casino floor, and to assist you with one-on-one guidance. Don’t hesitate to call on them with questions and concerns – we want you to have an enjoyable time while you’re with us.

Smoking, including vaping, in the casino will not be allowed. Instead, we have created an outdoor area outside our main entrance to accommodate our guests. Please refrain from smoking in any area of the casino. You will be required to follow the same steps you followed during arrival and go through the screening process to be allowed re-entry into the casino.

BEHIND THE SCENES

We think you should know what we’re doing behind the scenes to keep you safe and healthy while you’re visiting with us. Most of those efforts start and stop with the comprehensive training our team members have received over the last few weeks, including infectious disease and sanitation protocols to further ensure guest and team member safety. Team members have been provided instructions on responding and reporting all presumed cases of COVID-19 on property to the RI Department of Health. Just as importantly, you are asked to contact their supervisor if you notice a coworker or guest with known symptoms of COVID-19. Team members and guests who are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 while at the property are instructed to immediately notify their manager and promptly leave the property. If we are alerted to a presumptive case of COVID-19 on property, we will work with and follow the appropriate actions recommended by the Rhode Island Department of Health. We have put in place a host of “back of house” protocols for our employees.

Casino

The protocols include:

Casino

· Hand sanitizing stations and increased handwashing for all team members

· Daily screening for COVID-19 symptoms · Mandatory masks or face shields

· Disinfecting system for cards, dice and tiles

· Cleaning and disinfecting of the casino cages, touchpoints and guest-facing areas on an ongoing basis

· Social distancing · Enhanced educational signage

· Installment of temporary plexiglass in areas where staff have to interface with our guests

We apologize for any inconveniences that may occur from these temporary public safety measures, and we hope your enjoy your visit.

Object of the game

The object of Craps is for Players to match points rolled by a pair of dice. Craps may be the most exciting, action packed game you ever play. There is no skill in shooting Craps, it is purely a game of chance.

How to Play

Players stand around the Craps table. The game starts when the Players place their bets and the stickman pushes the dice to a shooter. The shooter rolls the dice across the table so they hit the wall on the opposite end of the table. This first roll of the dice is called a “come out” roll. When you bet the Pass line there are three things that can happen:

If the dice come up as 7 or 11, you win. The same shooter continues to roll the dice.

If the dice come up as 2, 3, or 12, you lose. This is called Craps. The same shooter still rolls the dice.

Casino Craps Practice

If the dice come up as anything else (4,5,6,8,9, or 10) it is called the point.

The shooter continues shooting the dice until the point is rolled again. If a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled, the Pass line bettors lose. The round is over, a new shooter is picked (the next person around the table) and a new round begins.

Payouts

Before the come out roll, all the Players must place their first bet. You can place your bet either on the “Pass line” or the “Don’t Pass line.” Pass line bets mean you are betting with the shooter. Don’t Pass bets means you are betting against the shooter. On the table, directly in front of you, place your bets on the Pass line or Don’t Pass line. The shooter will roll when all bets are placed. If on the first roll a 7 or 11 comes up, you win “even” money on the Pass line bet you just made. If a 2,3, or 12 comes up, you lose that bet. Play continues in this fashion until a point number is rolled (4,5,6,8,9, or 10). Once the point number is established, additional bets can be made.

First, take the “odds” on the Pass line bet. You do this by placing a wager behind your Pass line bet. If the shooter rolls the point number before a 7 is rolled, you win “even” money on your Pass line bet, plus 2:1 if the point number is 4 or 10; 3:2 if the point is 5 or 9; and 6:5 if the point is 6 or 8. You get the best odds on your money by placing these “odds” bets.

In addition to the Pass line and odds bets, you can also place bets on the “numbers.” At the top of the Craps table are the numbers 4,5,6,8,9, and 10. You can bet (place) these individual numbers (any or all of them). You win if the numbers you place come out before a 7 is rolled. You win different odds depending on the numbers you bet. The 4 and 10 pay 9:5. The 5 and 9 pay 7:5. The 6 and 8 pay 7:6. These odds are based on the probability of those numbers coming out.

There are many other bets you can make. For example, you can bet the “hard way.” This is when you bet the dice will display a certain way. Say you bet 8 the hard way. The dice must come out 4 and 4. If they come out as a 5 and 3, a 6 and 2 or if a 7 is rolled before a hard 8, you lose. A hard 10 must come out as a 5 and 5, etc. Besides the Hard Way bets, Craps also offers the exciting Sharp Shooter bet with payouts up to 500:1. Just ask a Dealer or Supervisor on how to bet.
