Virginia’s three casinos brought in a combined $78.8 million in adjusted gross revenue (AGR) during April 2025, according to new data from the Virginia Lottery. The figure marks a 31% increase over April 2024, when the state’s total AGR stood at $60.1 million.
Good to know
- Casino tax revenue reached $14.2 million in April.
- Caesars Virginia posted the top AGR total at $32.4 million.
- Slot machines made up more than 75% of total gaming revenue.
The monthly report includes performance from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol, Rivers Casino Portsmouth, and Caesars Virginia. Under Virginia law, AGR is calculated by subtracting winnings paid out from total wagers. Taxes are then applied to that figure.
April’s tax revenue from casinos totaled $14.2 million. These funds were distributed according to state rules, with allocations to the Gaming Proceeds Fund, the Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund, and the Family and Children’s Trust Fund. Host localities also receive a share of the funds.
For Bristol, home of the Hard Rock property, the law diverts the local share to the Regional Improvement Commission, which oversees infrastructure and economic development projects across the region.
Slot machines continued to drive the majority of casino income, producing $59.5 million of the total AGR, up 35.6% from last April. Table games brought in $19.1 million, a year-over-year gain of 18.3%.
Among the three operators, Caesars Virginia led the month with $32.4 million in AGR, up 64.2% from the previous year. Hard Rock Bristol followed with $21 million, a 50.9% increase. Rivers Casino Portsmouth, on the other hand, saw a dip, reporting $25.2 million—a 4.3% decline from the $26.4 million posted in April 2024.
