Fact Checked by Jeremy Botter

July was another strong month of revenue for Virginia casinos. Perhaps the summer heat drove people indoors, or perhaps the fever for in-person gaming is continuing unabated in the commonwealth.

There is a healthy appetite for wagering at online Virginia sports betting apps, but the bricks-and-mortar casinos are also drawing their share of devotees.

July’s adjusted gross revenue at the three commercial casinos combined was $57,295,953. That was a 9.8% increase from June, when the total statewide revenue was $52,187,669. The taxes raised at casinos rose by the same percentage, from $9,393,780 in June to $10,313,272 last month.

Slot Machines Most Popular Option

As is the case at pretty much all casinos, slot machines draw the most revenue in the commonwealth.

In Virginia, July casino slots revenue hit nearly $41.2 million, up 7.1% from $38.45 million in the June Virginia casino revenue report. 

Revenue from table games rose 17.2% in a month-over-month comparison, from $13.73 million in June to $16.1 million last month.

Virginia casino revenue is reported by the Virginia Lottery on the 15th day of each following month. The state reports its sports betting handle (or amount wagered) and revenue on the first day of the month after the following month – for instance, the state’s report on June sports betting handle and revenue was posted at the Virginia Lottery website on Aug. 1.
