You will soon be able to place bets just over the North Carolina-Virginia border. Danville Casino, the future home of Caesars Virgina is set to take its first bets on May 15.
The casino is about 60 miles north of Durham.
The temporary, 40,000-square-foot facility with more than 700 slot machines, 25 live table games, and sports betting opens in mid-May as construction continues on a massive $650 million permanent resort opening next year.
Durham business owner Jeffrey Hopkins, who owns Hopkins Tours providing in-town and day trips, sees the casino as an opportunity to expand his business. “Most definitely we’re looking forward to it,” Hopkins said.
