The Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island and Boyd Gaming are again partnering up to open a casino in West Warwick, The Pawtucket Times reports.

The tribe and the company has pitched the idea to lawmakers before but the plan never went forward. This time, they hope the state's $300 million deficit will sway people in their favor.

An announcement on the casino push is set for Saturday, according to the paper.
