Live! Casino Virginia is a large-scale commercial resort casino developed by The Cordish Companies and Bruce Smith Enterprise on a 100-acre site off I-95 at Exit 48B in Petersburg, roughly 25 miles south of downtown Richmond. A temporary 75,000-square-foot casino opened in January 2026, offering more than 900 slot machines, over 30 live table games, a casino bar, and quick-service dining. The permanent $1.4 billion resort — slated for completion in 2027 — will feature 1,600 slots, 60-plus table games, a 200-room hotel, multiple restaurants, and a live entertainment theater, positioning it as a major mid-Atlantic gaming destination.
Richmond is Virginia’s capital and largest metropolitan area, but it does not have a full-service casino within the city limits. A casino project backed by Urban One was proposed for Scott’s Addition and put to voter referendums in 2021 and 2023, both of which failed. Virginia’s General Assembly subsequently removed Richmond from the list of eligible casino host cities, and the casino license for the region was reallocated to neighboring Petersburg. For Richmond residents looking for casino gaming, the options are a local gaming emporium in the city itself and a growing resort casino destination in Petersburg, approximately 25 miles south.
Rosie’s Gaming Emporium Richmond is located at 6807 Midlothian Tpke, accessible from Route 60 / Midlothian Turnpike. Free parking is available on-site. Live!
