Fourteen months after opening, the Rivers Casino Portsmouth has generated more than $86 million in state and local tax revenues and about $340 million in total revenues, a new report shows.
Virginia’s first permanent casino reported $329 million in adjusted gaming revenues and $11.2 million in food and beverage revenues during the period from its opening in late January 2023 through March 31, 2024, according to a report filed with the Virginia Lottery Board.
The temporary Bristol Casino was the first casino to open in Virginia, in July 2022, while the Portsmouth facility was the first permanent casino to begin operation after voters in four cities approved casino gaming earlier this decade.
