In what would be a serious threat to Rhode Island’s state gambling revenue stream, Fall River is eyeing yet another attempt to enter the casino market.
Mayor William Flanagan has scheduled an announcement for Tuesday on a deal for a $750 million casino in the seen-better-days onetime textile center in southeastern Massachusetts that practically straddles the R.I. border, according to several Massachusetts media outlets, including WBUR.
Partnering with Fall River would be Foxwoods, the Connecticut-based tribal gambling empire.
