Virginia Casino Regulations
The Virginia Lottery Board approved a slew of casino bylaws during its meeting this week.
Each of the four casinos, located in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Danville, will need to pay a one-time $15 million licensing fee to the state. The operating permit is good for 10 years. The gaming operators will additionally pay a $50,000 fee to the Virginia Lottery for it to conduct a principal background and investigation of key parties involved in the developments.
Norfolk has partnered with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and gaming industry billionaire Jon Yarbrough for its casino property. Rush Street Gaming won in Portsmouth, Hard Rock International in Bristol and Caesars Entertainment in Danville.
The casino’s floors will not be permitted to extend credit to gamblers. All wagers must be conducted only with tokens, chips, or electronic cards purchased from the casino.

Gross gaming revenue will be taxed on a graduated scale ranging from 18-30 percent, based on total casino win. All tax revenue will be directed to the Gaming Proceeds Fund.
The vast majority of the proceeds will be allocated to localities in which the casinos operate. Additionally, one percent is set aside for the Virginia Indigenous People’s Trust Fund, 0.8 percent for the Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund, and 0.2 percent for the Family and Children’s Trust Fund.
Security, Slot and Table Regulations
The casino regulations require each venue to have at least 1,000 square feet of office space adjacent to the gaming floor that is to be used for security and surveillance.
Slot machines must have an average payout percentage of 89 to 94 percent. Wagers on slots can range from a penny to $500 per spin. Table game bets can range from $5 to $50,000.
