Slot machines blink and whir, chips hit the table, ATMs spit out cash, dice roll and all the while, the City of Danville gets part of the take.

Caesars Virginia in Danville has been open for one year Wednesday, marking 12 months of full-scale casino resort gaming tax revenue in the city’s coffers.

In its first year of operations, the permanent casino brought in over $386 million in revenue from table games and slots, according to reports from the Virginia Lottery, which tracks casino activity.

The city saw just over $25 million in gaming tax revenue from the full-scale resort in its first year.
