The Virginia Lottery has reported that the state’s five operational casinos generated a combined $95.2m in adjusted gaming revenue (AGR) during February 2026.
Under Virginia law, casinos pay a graduated tax on AGR, defined as total wagers minus winnings.
The February activity resulted in $17.1m in tax payments directed to the state’s Gaming Proceeds Fund, which supports a range of public programmes.
Of the state’s casino properties, Caesars Virginia generated the highest revenue during the month, reporting $31.8m in AGR.
This total included $23m from slot machines and $8.8m from table games.
Rivers Casino Portsmouth also ranked highly, hitting the second-largest revenue figure at $26.4m, with $18.4m from slots and $8.0m from table games.
The most meagre contribution came from The Interim Gaming Hall Norfolk, which generated $975,608 in AGR.
Virginia’s casino tax revenue is distributed across several public funds and local government allocations.
From February’s $17.1m tax total, approximately $5.7m was allocated to host cities or the Regional Improvement Commission associated with the Bristol casino.
The distribution to third-sector organisations included $137,027 for the Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund and $34,256 for the Family and Children’s Trust Fund.
A smaller portion, $9,756, went to the Virginia Indigenous People’s Trust Fund, reflecting the partnership between the Norfolk casino project and the Pamunkey Indian Tribe.
The remaining $11.2m will remain in the Gaming Proceeds Fund.
The Virginia Lottery has been working throughout March to raise awareness of problem gambling as part of Problem Gambling Awareness Month
