Good to know: Virginia is home to three casinos
The state’s other casinos, Rivers Casino Portsmouth and HR Bristol welcomed guests for the first time more than two years ago.
Virginia lawmakers have attempted to bring additional casinos to the state for the past couple years.
The question of whether Petersburg would welcome a casino has been answered with a resounding no. The Senate committee struck down attempts to land a casino in Petersburg during both the 2022 and 2023 legislative session.
However, lawmakers in Petersburg voted in favor of bringing in a new casino to the city earlier this year. Legislation passed in both the House of Delegates and in the Senate.
