LINCOLN, R.I. (WLNE) – Twin River Casino ownership has entered into an agreement to purchase new casinos in Missouri and Mississippi in a deal worth nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.

Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. announced in a press release Thursday that the company has agreed to purchase a pair of casinos from Nevada-based Eldorado Resorts for $230 million.

The deal will give Twin River ownership of Isle of Capri Casino in Kansas City, Missouri, as well as Lady Luck Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
