The shiny, new Rivers Casino had its Grand Opening this morning at 10 AM in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Rivers becomes the second legal casino in the Commonwealth of Virginia, following the opening of the Hard Rock Bristol in July 2022.

The Rivers is a beautiful property with ample free parking, more than 1400 slot machines, table games like Craps, Roulette, Blackjack,
Baccarat, and Three Card Poker - plus a spacious poker room, "BetRivers" sportsbook, a Starbucks, and several nice restaurants.

Here is the main entrance on a cloudy, blustery day...

I have a limited number of extras of the $1, $2.50, and $5 chips - please email me directly if interested.

Ron Goudsmit -- I looked and asked around, but was unable to find any Grand Opening chips - sorry.
