Bristol Casino launches Party Pit, adds new slots & table games

On Friday, Bristol Casino in Virginia announced that it had completed an expansion which includes a new party area and extra gaming options.

The casino’s statement revealed that it had added almost 30 new slot machines and eight table games to its gaming floor. In total, the venue will have 890 slots and 29 table games for customers to enjoy.

Virginia’s first casino – a temporary site while Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol is under construction – also launched a new ‘Party Pit’ amenity located by the Bristol Bar, across from the venue’s sportsbook. Four blackjack tables with a minimum wagering condition of $15 will be assigned to this space.

The Party Pit will be accessible to customers from Thursday to Sunday, providing a space to enjoy live music and watch sports games on wide-screened televisions.

Speaking on the new additions, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol’s President, Allie Evangelista, revealed that the company was excited about the new additions.

“We are thrilled to offer new slots and table games for our guests. With these additions, the casino now has 890 slots and 29 tables, along with our sportsbook,” Evangelista said.

“The new Dragon Link and Sega Sammy machines continue our commitment to add those machines that we know are most popular with our players.”

The expansion includes eight new Dragon Link jackpot slots and two new blackjack tables, which were placed in the high-limit area. The non-smoking space also received a Mississippi Stud table and a blackjack table, while 20 new Sega Sammy slot machines were set up on the casino’s gaming floor.

The temporary Bristol Casino site will continue operating until 2024, when the permanent Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol is set to open. After the permanent casino is launched, Bristol Casino will be made into a smoke-free gambling space on the property.
