The Virginia Lottery Board will consider the casino facility operator license application for Norfolk’s long-planned waterfront casino next week.
Casino owners Boyd Gaming and the Pamunkey Indian Tribe will appear before the Lottery Board at 1 p.m. Oct. 29 in Richmond over their operator license application for the as-yet unnamed Norfolk casino, which is scheduled to open in late 2027.
Boyd plans to open a temporary gambling space called the Interim Gaming Hall in November. The tent-like structure will have 130 slot machines and limited food and drink for gamers while Boyd constructs the permanent location.
The meeting was mentioned Monday during a joint subcommittee studying the formation of the Virginia Gaming Commission.
