LINCOLN, R.I. (WPRI) - There will be a new push to turn Twin River into a full-scale casino.

The Providence Journal reports the new owners of the slot parlor say the plan could bring 650 new jobs and 60 million dollars in new revenue to Rhode Island.

The chairman of Twin River's Board of Directors will unveil the findings of a recent economic impact study at a meeting of the northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.
