TIVERTON, R.I. — A new $140 million casino near Massachusetts is expected to open earlier than anticipated.

The group behind the Twin River casino said Thursday the casino will open Sept. 1, a month early, the Providence Journal reported. John Taylor Jr., the chairman of Twin River Management Group, said the construction teams allowed for an accelerated opening. The 100,000-square-foot space will feature 1,000 slot machines.
