The Virginia Lottery Board Unanimously Approved Proposed Permanent Casino Regulations, However This Could Mean A Year Long Delay To Hard Rock’s Original Timeline For The Bristol Casino. Virginia Governor Northam Will Now Be Sent The Regulations To Be Reviewed And Approved. The Public Will Then Have 60 Days To Raise Concerns About The Proposal. Hard Rock Originally Slated A Opening For The End Of This Year, But The New Regulatory Timeline For Final Approval Is Estimated For May 2022.
