After several years in the making, Hampton Roads’ first casino, Rivers Casino Portsmouth, is just one month away from completion. Although still under construction, News 3 got an inside look at the casino’s interior as it begins to take shape.
“Right when you get in there will be metal detectors,” said Roy Corby, Rivers Casino Portsmouth’s general manager, making clear that security is going to be a major priority for the casino.
“We have a state-of-the-art surveillance system, security patrols throughout the parking lot, and over 1,000 surveillance cameras,” he continued. “Plus the city of Portsmouth asked us to put some cameras on top of the building for them. It gives them a great view of what’s going on down Victory Boulevard and Missy Elliot Boulevard.”
