Pamunkey Indian Tribe
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe was recognized by the federal government in 2016. Federal recognition qualifies the tribe to engage in Indian Gaming under the jurisdiction of the National Indian Gaming Commission and the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
The Indian Gaming Regulation (IGRA) defines three classes of gambling with conditions that determine which tribal gaming will be approved for the Pamunkey Indian Tribe or any other tribal applicant wanting a gambling facility.
The Pamunkey Tribe casino proposal will take years to reach a final decision on approval and agreement on the type of allowed gaming. The process will include the U.S. Interior Department, the State of Virginia and the court system before a final outcome could result in either a Class II or Class III casino.
If approved the Pamunkey Indian Tribe intends to build the casino and hotel in the eastern part of Virginia. It will not be located on the tribe's King William County reservation.

Courtesy of ABC 8 NewsThe Pamunkey Tribe has announced negotiations with the City of Norfolk to purchase 20 acres of riverfront property owned by the city for the purpose of building a $700 million casino and hotel. The site is near the Amtrak Station and Harbor Park stadium.
In March 2018, two years after the Pamunkey Indians were recognized by the federal government, the tribe announced plans to build a casino with hotel and spa somewhere in Eastern Virginia.
A month later the Pamunkeys announced the purchase of 610 acres in New Kent County as a potential building site for their casino project. The location is east of Richmond at the Exit 205 interchange on I-64. The tribe also said at the time it had not committed to build there and would continue to seek other opportunities including land in Richmond and its vicinity.
When the final decision is made about the casino location, the Pamunkeys will petition the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to take that land into federal trust as part of their reservation land.

A possible resort casino could be developed in New Kent County. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe purchased over 600 acres of land. The property is being considered for the casino project.
However, this is not the only potential location. Other areas in central and eastern Virginia are being considered.
Plans were previously announced for the tribe's desire to develop a casino resort. Acquiring land is one of the main tasks that the tribe has undertaken in order to make progress on their casino plans.
Located off of Interstate 64 and the Bottoms Bridge-Quinton exit, the property makes up four parcels. An LLC bought the land for $3.05 million according to tax records from the county. The mailing address matches the same as a video game operator with a state approved license, named B&B Amusement of Illinois. The company operates over 60 venues.
The tribe wants to build a gaming facility with a hotel, entertainment venue, and spa. The estimated cost to complete the project will be $700 million.
Full time positions would be available for 4,000 people. Payroll would equal around $200 million. The state could earn an estimated $1 billion from gaming revenue taxes.
Both the state and the local community where the project would be built would benefit in the revenue sharing.
The tribe would also like to be able to provide rural Virginia with broadband. They also would like to fund housing for seniors.
Middle Peninsula Planning District Council may also be involved. Joining with the council may allow for the project to qualify for federal grants. That could be used to help create jobs and improve infrastructure.
March 16, 2018
Plans for a proposed Pamunkey Indian Tribe owned casino have been announced. If approved it will be built in the eastern section of Virginia and 4,000 full time jobs would be created. It would cost an estimated $700 million.
There would be casino games. There will also be a hotel, spa, and entertainment.
Construction would create between 3,000 and 5,000 jobs.
Annual payroll would equal $200 million. Companies that supply support services and other indirect companies could have a $1 billion impact for the state.
The casino will not be located on the tribe's King William County reservation.
They are interested in a partnership with a community to build their project. The site for the proposed casino to be developed is still being determined. Property being considered must be able to accommodate a large number of visitors. As well as access to utilities like water and sewer. Until these things are settled, a timeline for construction can not be announced.
The community that is selected for the proposed casino would enter into an agreement that would allow for sharing the casino revenues. The state would also receive a portion.
An investment group is currently in negotiations with the tribe to help develop the project. Details on the investment company have not been released.
Financing for the project also needs to be secured.
The National Indian Gaming Commission would oversee the casino's gaming operations. One of the purposed for the commission is to ensure that the games are ran fairly. It also monitors the agreements made between the tribe and the casino management company.
Dependent on current state laws, the casino could be allowed to operate slot machines and table games. However, the choice of games must be approved by the commission and the negotiated on for the gaming compact.
