The 2026 Regular Session ended on June 30 without any significant gambling legislation advancing. Rhode Island's state-run market, including mobile sports betting and online casino under Bally's, remains steady. No major changes were proposed or debated.

What to watch: Lawmakers return for the 2027 session in January. No major gambling bills are expected immediately, but stakeholders may float proposals as the session gets organized.
