Hearings are underway in the Rhode Island General Assembly over a proposed contract extension for state lottery runner IGT. Rhode Island Department of Revenue officials urged the Senate Finance Committee last night to keep IGT, which the state wants to offer a twenty-year, one-billion-dollar, no-bid contract. State casinos operator Twin River wants consideration of its new proposal with rival lottery operator Camelot, which it says costs half-a-billion dollars less and is only for twelve years.
