About Rivers Casino Portsmouth
Overview
Rivers Casino Portsmouth is operated by Rush Street Gaming and holds the distinction of being the first Virginia casino to open under the state's 2020 commercial gaming legalization, welcoming its first guests in January 2023. The Portsmouth location — in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, directly across the Elizabeth River from downtown Norfolk — serves a market of approximately 1.8 million residents in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Portsmouth.
Rush Street Gaming, known for its premium-quality casino operations in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Chicago, brought its signature high-quality gaming environment to the Virginia market. The property serves as an economic catalyst for Portsmouth, a historically economically challenged waterfront city that competed vigorously for the Virginia casino license as a revitalization strategy.
