RICHMOND, Va. — Casinos.com reports that Virginia’s commercial casinos generated $82.4 million in gaming revenue in November, marking a nearly 30% increase from a year earlier, according to figures released by the Virginia Lottery and the Virginia Racing Commission.
Gaming revenue totaled $82,405,713 for the month, up 29.7% from $63,577,658 in November 2024. The strong year-over-year growth was fueled by gains in both slot machine play and table games across the state’s casino market.
State officials said the increase represents one of the strongest annual lifts for Virginia’s casinos in recent months, reflecting steady local play and continued interest from out-of-state visitors.
Several properties posted double-digit gains compared with the same month last year. Rivers Casino Portsmouth led the market with $20.5 million in revenue, up nearly 30% from November 2024. Kings Dominion Casino followed closely, reporting $18.7 million, a 33.3% increase year over year.
Other notable results included River Ridge with $10.8 million, up 30.5%; Hard Rock Bristol with $9.1 million, up 34.3%; and The Greenbrier with $8.8 million, an increase of 28.9%. Ocean Downs reported $8.5 million in revenue, up 23.3%, while Roanoke Casino posted $6.6 million, a 31.6% increase.
The figures show broad-based strength across Virginia’s casino portfolio, with properties such as Kings Dominion and Hard Rock Bristol posting particularly robust gains.
Regulators said the statewide performance underscores the continued expansion of Virginia’s gaming market, which has grown rapidly since commercial casinos began opening across the state.
