Portsmouth is among the five prospective casinos in Virginia that may commence operations within the upcoming years. The legalization of gambling by the Virginia General Assembly earlier this year has led to voting opportunities for residents of Bristol, Danville, and Norfolk on November 3rd. However, the decision regarding the casino fate in Richmond is anticipated to be determined through a vote in 2021.
Rivers Casino Portsmouth details
In July, Portsmouth disclosed its selection of Rush Street Gaming as its preferred casino partner. The Virginia Lottery promptly granted certification to the company, which will oversee casino gambling in the state.
The Rivers Casino Portsmouth is envisioned as a comprehensive gaming, hotel, conference, and entertainment complex, with an estimated worth of $300 million.
The resort will be located on Victory Boulevard, with Rush Street committing to a minimum payment of $10 million to the city for the site.
According to officials’ estimations, the Portsmouth region could receive an annual injection of $200 million from the casino. Additionally, it has the potential to generate tax revenue of up to $16 million per year.
