BRISTOL, Va. — The Bristol Casino, future home of Hard Rock, has paid out over $100 million in jackpot awards to guests thus far in 2023.
Virginia’s first casino has reported over $120 million in adjusted gross revenues — wagers minus winnings through the first nine months of 2023, according to the Virginia Lottery which oversees gaming in Virginia.
“We are so excited to celebrate this amazing milestone,” said Allie Evangelista, president, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol. “I want to thank all of our loyal guests for their support and the many visits since our opening in July of 2022. We take pride in providing our guests a great place of entertainment and it always feels great to celebrate winning with them.
“My sincere appreciation for our team members who helped process all these jackpots as we reached $100 million in hand pays to 38,391 guests. We’re looking forward to celebrating many more wins for years to come,” Evangelista said.
The Bristol Casino is the temporary facility that opened last year but is scheduled to be replaced next summer by the massive hotel and casino facility taking shape on the majority of the former Bristol Mall site on Gate City Highway.
Work crews have erected several floors of the hotel and the space behind it which will include the casino, restaurants, bars and other amenities. It is expected to open in July 2024.
This week the Virginia Lottery Board received an update on construction progress and amenities of the project including 303 rooms planned in the luxury hotel, along with a spa and indoor/outdoor pool. It will feature world class smoking and non-smoking gaming areas with 1,500 slot machines and 75 table games along with Hard Rock sports book, according to the report.
Dining options will include a Council Oak Steakhouse, Hard Rock Café, YouYu Noodle Bar and large food hall.
