Lawmakers in Rhode Island said they won't vote on a proposed tribal casino unless Harrah�s Entertainment offers a better deal to the state.
Harrah�s Entertainment is already offering $100 million over 10 years and a percentage of revenues to the state. But members of the House and the Senate are convinced the company can give up more and met with Harrah's executives yesterday to discuss a deal.
The Narragansett Tribe is working with Harrah's to open a casino. The tribe needs voter approval to move forward.
