The wait is nearly over: Norfolk‘s first casino experience opens Friday inside a temporary gaming hall — a precursor to the future $750 million resort and casino rising next door.
The Interim Gaming Hall, a tentlike structure developed by Boyd Gaming and the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, offers a first glimpse of what’s ahead. Though modest in scale, with 132 slot machines spread across a 3,600-square-foot gaming floor, its debut marks the first time casino play will be available in Norfolk after years of planning.
The gaming facility will operate daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Rows of machines light up with recognizable gaming titles such as Buffalo Ultimate Stampede and the influencer-favorite Huffing Even More Puff.
