In November 2021, Newport Racing & Gaming opened their 14,000 square foot expansion which consisted of a new area designated for smoking and the original gaming floor to remain smoke-free. The extended space also features a bar and allows a stage area for live entertainment and promotions in the non-smoking gaming area.
