Rivers made $16.3 million from table games, it’s second highest month for those, and $7.5 million from slots, it’s fourth highest to date.
With that, Portsmouth received its highest monthly tax revenue from the casino to date, $1.67 million.
December came just over a month after Virginia’s Supreme Court revived the commonwealth’s ban on so called “skill games,” which may have led to an increase in casino goers. Rivers has also recently opened a restaurant, Yard House, in November.
