The Interim Gaming Hall Review Jump to comments
A temporary and transitional casino named The Interim Gaming Hall opened on November 7, 2025. The casino is housed in a 7,200 sq ft tent-like structure located on the paved parking lot between Harbor Park and the Amtrak station. The temporary facility is open daily from 10am to 2am. The one-level gaming floor features more than 130 slot machines within 3,600 sq ft of gaming space, along with a food truck and the state’s first alcohol vending machine. The machine utilizes photo ID and artificial intelligence identification to verify that users are over 21. Visitors can take advantage of Boyds Rewards loyalty program.
The Norfolk casino project faces a deadline of November 5, 2025, to secure a casino license—or it will have to restart the process and go back to voters for approval. Under the new plan, construction on the permanent casino began on October 30, 2024. A month later, work started on a transitional casino, which is scheduled for completion by mid-October 2025—just in time to meet the licensing deadline. Construction of the permanent facility will continue through August 2027, with the official opening planned for late 2027. The final casino name is still pending.
On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and Boyd Gaming broke ground on their Norfolk, Virginia casino. The long-awaited ceremony occurred in the parking lot between Norfolk's Amtrak station and Harbor Park. Six acres of land there will be home to a waterfront resort casino, now referred to as "Project Mermaid," with plans for 1,500 slot machines, 50 table games, a 200-room hotel, eight restaurants, showroom, spa, fitness center, and a 1,300-spot parking garage.
