Hard Rock’s Bristol casino posted adjusted gross revenue (wagers minus winnings) of $14.3 million in August, its first full month of operation, up 22% from its take in July.

The Virginia Lottery’s second official report on the new facility showed the amount spent on table games nearly doubled, from $1.5 million in July to $2.8 million in August.

The casino has now yielded a total of almost $4.7 million in taxes over just 55 days in operation based on the 18% total tax rate. A third of the tax revenue, or 6% of the total “adjusted gross revenue,” (AGR) flows directly to the Regional Improvement Commission where it is split among 12 Southwest Virginia counties, the City of Bristol and the town of Norton.
