Casinos in Virginia

Virginia has not had any casinos to date, but in 2019 legislation was approved for allowing casino gaming to be regulated by the Virginia Lottery Board. In early 2020 Virginia lawmakers passed legislation approving 5 casinos to be built in the state. At the time of writing it seems that the coronavirus pandemic has halted plans, but investors and politicians claim the move to establish an economic revenue channel in the form of casinos and online casino licensing will press ahead. The plans are to build casinos in Danville, Bristol, Richmond, Norfolk and Portsmouth.
