Caesars Virginia
1100 West Main Street, Danville, VA 24541, USA
Caesars Virginia is a premier land-based casino resort located in Danville, Virginia, that opened its permanent doors on December 17, 2024. The $650 million destination is situated in the historic Schoolfield Mill district, on the site of the former Dan River Mills finishing plant. Owned as a partnership between Caesars Entertainment and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians via EBCI Holdings, the resort represents a major economic revitalization effort for the region. The property features a 320-room hotel, a 40,000-square-foot casino floor with over 740 slot machines, 25 live table games, 28 electronic table games, and a Caesars Sportsbook. Additional amenities include a full-service spa, swimming pool, multiple restaurants and bars, a World Series of Poker poker room with 25 tables, and convention space. A temporary casino operated on the same site from May 2023 until the permanent resort opened. The development agreement includes community benefit payments, and in its first full year of operations the casino generated over $386 million in gaming revenue and contributed approximately $69 million in total gaming taxes and local supplements to the City of Danville. The project preserved three historic smokestacks from the original mill and created more than 1,200 jobs locally.
Based on extensive web research, the entity 'Live! Virginia' does not appear to exist as an active iGaming or gambling company. All searches returned either generic Virginia state government pages, historical content about the colony of Virginia, or unrelated businesses such as Live‑VA virtual assistants and the MultiTV event platform. No casino, sportsbook, or gaming operator by this name was found in any licensing records, news reports, or official business registries for Virginia. The closest match is the planned 'Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia', a $1.4 billion development by The Cordish Companies in Petersburg, Virginia, which received local approval in 2023 but has not yet opened. That project is still in early stages—construction has not begun—and it operates under the name 'Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia', not 'Live! Virginia'. Therefore, 'Live! Virginia' is not a verifiable company in the gambling industry based on available public sources.
Hard Rock Bristol
500 Gate City Highway, Bristol, Virginia 24201, USA
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol is a landmark casino resort in Bristol, Virginia, developed by a joint venture between Hard Rock International and local businessmen Jim McGlothlin and Clyde Stacy. Located on the site of the former Bristol Mall, the property opened a temporary casino in July 2022, becoming Virginia’s first legal casino. The permanent 620,000-square-foot resort opened on November 14, 2024, featuring nearly 1,500 slot machines, more than 50 table games, a retail sportsbook, a 300-plus-room hotel, the 2,000-seat Hard Rock Live entertainment venue, multiple dining options including a Hard Rock Cafe and Council Oaks Steaks & Seafood, a Rock Spa, and a pool deck. The project represents a $550 million investment and is owned and operated by Hard Rock International, which is wholly owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The resort is managed locally by President Allie Evangelista and serves as a major economic driver for Southwest Virginia, distributing gaming tax revenues through the Southwest Virginia Regional Improvement Commission to 12 counties and two cities.
Rivers Casino Portsmouth
3630 Victory Blvd, Portsmouth, VA 23701
Rivers Casino Portsmouth, which opened on January 23, 2023, is Virginia's first permanent full-service casino, located on Victory Boulevard in Portsmouth. Owned and operated by Rush Street Gaming, the $340 million property created over 1,300 permanent jobs and generated more than $42 million in state and local taxes in its first year. The casino features a full-service floor with slots and table games, a dedicated poker room, a BetRivers Sportsbook, multiple dining outlets including Admiral's Steak & Seafood, and The Event Center for concerts and entertainment. In 2025, Rush Street announced a $65 million expansion to add The Landing Hotel Portsmouth, an eight-story, 106-room hotel expected to open in early 2027. Rivers Casino Portsmouth is the fifth U.S. casino under the Rivers brand, licensed by the Virginia Lottery, and operates 24 hours a day.
Betfair Predicts
London, England
Betfair Predicts is a prediction‑markets product launched in beta in April 2026 by Betfair, a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment. It presents a streamlined, yes/no interface built on top of the Betfair Exchange, the world’s largest peer‑to‑peer betting exchange. Users can trade on the outcome of real‑world events across sports, politics, and entertainment by selecting “Yes” or “No” contracts – a format that differs from traditional sportsbook wagers against house‑set odds. The product draws liquidity from the existing Exchange, which matched £84 billion in trades during 2025 (up 10% year‑on‑year). Betfair Predicts operates under Betfair’s UK Gambling Commission licence and is initially available only to selected invited users as part of a controlled beta. Flutter has described it as a response to rising consumer interest in prediction markets in the UK; the company previously offered technical expertise to FanDuel during the 2025 launch of FanDuel Predicts in the United States. Betfair Predicts aims to offer “a simpler, more intuitive way for customers to engage with prediction‑style markets”. Its long‑term direction will be guided by customer feedback collected during the beta phase. As of mid‑2026, no public information indicates a separate executive team for the product; it is overseen by Betfair’s senior leadership.
Lotto.com
Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
Lotto.com Inc. is a U.S.-based digital platform that enables consumers to purchase official state lottery draw games and scratch‑off tickets online, acting as a licensed lottery courier service. Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, the company was established around 2018 by CEO Thomas Metzger and co‑founder Sebastian Cario, positioning itself as one of the first fully digital retailers for state‑run lotteries in the United States. Unlike traditional lottery sales requiring a visit to a physical retailer, Lotto.com allows users to order tickets via its mobile‑friendly website without downloading an app, creating a frictionless experience for a younger, tech‑savvy audience. The platform launched commercially in June 2021, initially in New Jersey in partnership with QuickChek, and has since expanded to 12 jurisdictions including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Puerto Rico. Lotto.com generates revenue by taking a small service fee on each transaction, while official tickets are purchased from authorized retailers and scanned into the user’s digital account. The company has also rolled out a Spanish‑language interface to broaden accessibility and has processed over $100 million in customer winnings as of 2025. By modernizing the lottery experience, Lotto.com aims to grow the overall player base and increase contributions to state programs that benefit from lottery revenue.
Trump Media and Technology Group
Sarasota, Florida, United States
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (TMTG) is an American publicly traded media and technology company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, founded in February 2021 in direct response to former President Donald Trump's permanent suspension from major social media platforms after the January 6 Capitol attack. The company's mission is to challenge Big Tech's control over speech by offering free-speech alternatives. Its flagship product, Truth Social, launched in 2022, is a microblogging platform that serves as Trump's primary social media outlet. TMTG also operates Truth+, a live TV streaming service carrying conservative news networks and entertainment. The company went public in March 2024 via a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. and is majority-owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. Despite generating only US$3.6 million in annual revenue in 2024, TMTG's market capitalization has fluctuated dramatically, peaking at over US$3.6 billion in December 2025 before falling to around US$2.47 billion by mid-2026. The company employs 31 people and has announced plans to expand into financial services and, through a pending merger with TAE Technologies, utility-scale fusion energy development.
