Plans for the casino in Danville started in December 2019 when the city of Danville began seeking proposals of a possible casino that must included either the White Mill or Schoolfield site.

An additional condition was set that each city must hold a referendum on the question of whether to allow casino gaming in the city. Still, they limited the option to five eligible host cities: Portsmouth, Richmond, Norfolk, Danville, and Bristol. In 2020, Virginia legislators passed a bill allowing the establishment of casinos. On May 15, 2023, the temporary Danville Casino was opened. It is owned in partnership between Caesars Entertainment and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It is located in the Schoolfield Mill district, on the site of the former Dan River Mills finishing plant.
