The Virginia Lottery released revenue figures for Danville Casino from the month of May, showing a slight increase from April and reflecting one of the strongest-performing months for the gambling facility.

The casino pulled in nearly $20.3 million in gaming revenue last month, according to the Virginia Lottery’s monthly casino activity report released Friday.

Of that figure, about $14.7 million came from Danville Casino’s 824 slots and about $5.57 million was generated by the facility’s 36 table games.

May’s $20.3 million was an increase over April’s $19.73 million in revenue, making May’s performance the third-highest month for the temporary casino that is expected to become a full resort at the end of 2024.
