What does not count as a casino in Virginia
Historical horse racing machines and off-track betting are regulated by the Virginia Racing Commission, not licensed as casinos, so they are not in the Lottery’s count. Charitable bingo and raffles fall under a separate state office. If you are looking for a full casino floor with table games, the 5 casinos above are the list.
The Virginia Lottery runs a Voluntary Exclusion Program: you can bar yourself from every Virginia casino, online sports betting, account-based lottery games and horse-race betting for two years, five years or life. Two- and five-year requests can be made online; a lifetime exclusion is made in person. Help is also available at 1-800-MY-RESET.
