Live! Casino Virginia is preparing to open its temporary gaming facility in Petersburg, Virginia, on January 22nd, marking the state’s fifth commercial casino. The 75,000-square-foot temporary space will feature 926 slot machines, 32 table games, and a high-roller room. The Cordish Companies, the operator, anticipates completing the permanent casino—which will include a hotel and multiple dining options—by the end of 2028. The casino has already created 500 jobs and is expected to be a significant economic driver for the region. As part of its launch, Live! Casino Virginia will present a $15 million check to city officials, demonstrating its commitment to the local economy. The project was approved by Petersburg residents after being rejected in Richmond, and comes after Virginia legalized casinos in 2020. Lawmakers are also considering legalizing online gaming.
