Rosie's Gaming Emporium Locations in Virginia, Richmond to Dumfries

Rosie's Gaming Emporium is the chain of historical horse racing parlors that Colonial Downs opened across Virginia from 2019 onward, now owned by Churchill Downs Incorporated. The machines resemble slots but legally are pari-mutuel bets on past races, and every location also takes wagers on live racing, which is why the network funds purses at the New Kent track.

Eight locations operate under the Rosie's family in October 2026: five full Rosie's parlors, a small Rosie's Game Room in Collinsville, The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries and the Roseshire Gaming Parlor in Henrico. This page lists all of them with addresses, compares their size and hours, and explains the rules that apply at each door.

How Rosie’s Gaming Emporium fits Virginia law

Rosie’s Gaming Emporium exists because of a 2018 state law allowing historical horse racing machines at Colonial Downs and its satellite wagering facilities. Satellites can open only in localities that approved off-track betting at a referendum, so the first parlors went to places that had already voted yes. The Virginia Racing Commission licenses each site.

The model ties every location to live racing. Rosie’s revenue pays purses at Colonial Downs, and the network has let race days rise from fifteen in 2019 to more than forty. On each pool, state law sets aside 1.30 percent for local governments, the problem gambling fund, equine programs and a state license tax.

Rosie’s in Richmond and the Richmond area

Richmond has the densest cluster of Rosie’s Gaming Emporium sites. Rosie’s Richmond on Midlothian Turnpike has about 1,200 games, among them what the operator calls the region’s largest collection of Ultimate Fire Link titles, and it is the location with The Playbook Sports Bar + Grill. It is open around the clock; free bands play on Friday and Saturday nights.

North of the city, Roseshire Gaming Parlor opened at the Staples Mill Shopping Center in Henrico in 2025 with 175 machines, a bar and the Crimson Kitchen, open 8 a.m. to midnight. County officials opposed the license and wanted a local vote; the operator relied on an older referendum. New Kent is roughly half an hour east of Richmond.

Hampton, Vinton, Emporia and Collinsville

Rosie’s Hampton, on Power Plant Parkway, is open 24 hours and offers 38,380 square feet of gaming floor with 1,270 parking spaces. Rosie’s Vinton, outside Roanoke, has around 500 games, a high-limit area, a 280-space parking garage and live music on weekends; it runs from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., staying open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Emporia, opened on September 25, 2023, has 150 games with separate smoking and non-smoking areas and keeps the same hours as Vinton. The smallest site, Rosie’s Game Room in Collinsville, holds 37 games and a betting counter inside a hotel, opening at 10 a.m. and closing at midnight or 2 a.m. on weekends.

The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries

The Rose is the flagship of Northern Virginia, about 30 miles from Washington, D.C., built on the former Potomac Landfill. After a soft launch on October 23, 2024, it offers more than 1,600 games, eight bars and restaurants and a hotel with more than 100 rooms. An off-track betting room is open seven days a week for live racing.

Dining runs from the 1609 Prime Cuts + Cocktails steakhouse to The Playbook Sports Bar + Grill and the Market Street food hall, which includes Crabtastic, Southern Spin Kitchen, R’ Burger and Mama Mia’s. Free live music plays at The Playbook on Fridays and Saturdays. The operator is converting the remaining 79 acres of the landfill into a public park.

Food, rewards and responsible play at Rosie’s Gaming Emporium

Most Rosie’s Gaming Emporium parlors have a Rosie’s Kitchen serving the R’ Burger and fries, plus a bar. Games vary by site, with titles like Black Diamond Deluxe, Combo Cash and Miner’s Dream. FastTrack Rewards, a single loyalty card, works at every Rosie’s and at other Churchill Downs properties such as Derby City Gaming in Louisville.

Rosie’s Gaming Emporium is strictly 21 and over at every door. Players can set a budget and a time limit before they start, and Virginia’s problem gambling help line is 1-888-532-3500.

Frequently asked questions

How many Rosie's Gaming Emporium locations are there?

Eight venues carry the Rosie's family name in October 2026: Rosie's in New Kent, Richmond, Hampton, Vinton and Emporia, the Rosie's Game Room in Collinsville, The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries and the Roseshire Gaming Parlor in Henrico. All are owned by Churchill Downs Incorporated and licensed as satellite wagering facilities by the Virginia Racing Commission.

Is Rosie's Gaming Emporium a casino?

Not legally. Virginia licenses Rosie's under its horse racing law, so the machines are historical horse racing terminals that settle each play as a pari-mutuel bet on a past race. There are no slot machines and no table games. Virginia's full casinos are separate, commercially licensed resorts in a handful of cities.

How old do you have to be to go to Rosie's?

Guests must be 21 or older at every Rosie's location, and the operator states that any earlier statements of a lower age no longer apply. Bring photo identification. At Colonial Downs, all ages can attend live racing, but the Rosie's floor on the first level remains closed to anyone under 21.

Which Rosie's in Richmond should I visit?

Rosie's Richmond at 6807 Midlothian Turnpike is the large one, with about 1,200 games, The Playbook Sports Bar + Grill and round-the-clock hours. The Roseshire Gaming Parlor on Glenside Drive in Henrico is smaller, with 175 machines at its 2025 opening, and closes at midnight. Rosie's New Kent at Colonial Downs is about half an hour east.

Does Rosie's Gaming Emporium have a hotel?

Only The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries has rooms: more than 100, including 413-square-foot King and Double Queen rooms with 65-inch televisions, mini-fridges and coffee stations. The other Rosie's locations are gaming parlors without lodging, so visitors to Hampton, Vinton or Emporia book nearby hotels independently when they stay overnight.

Can I bet on horse races at Rosie's Gaming Emporium?

Yes. Each location takes simulcast wagers on races from across the country and on Colonial Downs during its meets. Wagers are placed in cash at a staffed window or a self-service terminal, and winning tickets from Colonial Downs can be cashed for up to 180 days at any Rosie's or at a VA-Horseplay off-track betting center.
