Rosie's Gaming Emporium
Rosie's Gaming Emporium is a chain of gambling parlors in the U.S. state of Virginia, owned by Churchill Downs, Inc. and affiliated with its Colonial Downs racetrack. The Rosie's brand was established in 2019. As of 2023, there are seven Rosie's locations throughout Virginia, including a parlor at Colonial Downs in New Kent; five standalone parlors in Dumfries, Emporia, Hampton, Richmond, and Vinton; and a Rosie's Game Room in Collinsville within a Quality Inn hotel. A $389-million Rosie's property called The Rose Gaming Resort is under construction in Dumfries. Rosie's parlors do not feature any table games or traditional slot machines, but rather historical horse racing machines that resemble slot machines and offer betting on archived horse races. History
Virginia enacted a law to authorize historical horse racing machines in April 2018, in an effort to make it economically viable to reopen the state's only horse track, Colonial Downs, which had been closed since 2014. The Virginia Racing Commission subsequently adopted regulations capping the total number of machines in the state at 3,000. The first Rosie's location was opened at Colonial Downs in New Kent on April 23, 2019, with 600 machines. Three standalone Rosie's locations also opened up later in 2019, with the Vinton location opening on May 9, the Richmond location on July 1, and the Hampton location on October 29. In November 2020 construction work on the fifth Rosie's Gaming Emporium in Dumfries began, and the location opened on January 8, 2021. Later that year, on July 22, Rosie's opened its sixth location, a 37-machine parlor at a Quality Inn hotel in Collinsville, branded as Rosie's Game Room. In 2022 Colonial Downs's parent company, Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, sold the bulk of its assets, including Rosie's and Colonial Downs, to Churchill Downs, Inc.

A seventh location in Emporia opened on September 25, 2023. The Rose Gaming Resort
On February 15, 2021 a proposal was revealed by Colonial Downs for a $389 million Rosie's-branded gaming resort called The Rose Gaming Resort, which would stand on the site of the Potomac Landfill in Dumfries and be the largest gaming resort in Northern Virginia. The Dumfries Town Council approved the project on September 21, 2021. Construction of the resort began in January 2022 as the landfill closed, with plans to open in late 2023 and total completion of the two phases expected in 2026. The resort will feature a 50,000-sq-ft gaming facility, 305 hotel rooms, 8 restaurants, a theater, and conference rooms, with the remaining unused 79 acres being converted into a park. References
