Virginia’s casinos raked in about 32% more in adjusted gaming revenue (wagers minus winnings) in 2025 than the previous year.

Some of the gains are related to the fact that Norfolk’s temporary Interim Gaming Hall opened Nov. 7, 2025.

December adjusted gaming revenues at Virginia’s three permanent casinos and Norfolk’s temporary casino totaled more than $86.5 million, according to Virginia Lottery data released Thursday.

According to data provided by the Virginia Lottery and tabulated by Virginia Business, the state’s casinos in Bristol, Danville and Portsmouth, along with two months of the temporary casino in Norfolk, brought in an AGR of about $969.1 million. In 2024, the casinos generated approximately $732.2 million.
