Find Your Favorite New Hampshire Casinos and Resorts 2026

All casinos in New Hampshire operate under charitable gaming licenses. Each venue partners with registered non-profits, which receive at least 35% of gross gaming revenue on a rotating schedule. The venues are regulated by the New Hampshire Lottery and Gaming Commission, and all offer table games including blackjack, roulette, and craps. Gaming machines are a mix of historical horse racing terminals and video lottery terminals, depending on the property. The minimum gambling age is 18 state-wide.

New Hampshire has several additional smaller charitable gaming venues operating across the state, including properties in Concord, Derry, and Portsmouth. These tend to be compact local gaming rooms with a modest selection of machines and table games, and are not covered in detail here.

*Chasers currently operates as a table games and poker-only venue. Churchill Downs acquired the property in 2022 and has planning approval for a new 800-position facility called Rockingham Grand Casino to replace it.

New Hampshire's casinos operate under a model you won't find in most other states. There are no commercial casino companies holding state licenses here, and no tribal gaming compacts. Instead, every casino in New Hampshire runs under a charitable gaming license, meaning each venue partners with registered non-profits that receive a share of the revenue generated on the floor.

The arrangement works like this: licensed operators run the day-to-day business, but non-profits are the legal license holders. Each charity is scheduled into a rotation, typically appearing at a given venue for a set period, and receives 35% of gross gaming revenue during their time on the calendar. The list of beneficiaries at any venue can run into the dozens and includes local food pantries, youth sports leagues, veterans organizations, arts groups, and social services among them.

For visitors, this changes nothing about the experience on the floor. The games, the machines, the dealers, and the staff are all the same as you'd find at a conventional casino. What it does mean is that your losses are, in a modest sense, going somewhere local. Several venues display their current charity partners prominently near the entrance.

New Hampshire's casino floors are well-run, welcoming, and more serious than the charitable gaming label might suggest. The larger venues stand up comfortably against regional competition. What you won't find is an on-site hotel, so plan accommodation separately.

Arrival and Entry

The minimum age at all New Hampshire charitable gaming venues is 18, with one exception: Chasers in Salem sets its own minimum at 21. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID as you'll be asked for it at the door or when signing up for a players card.

Parking is free at every property. The larger venues handle busy weekend nights without difficulty. Most properties have a players card worth picking up on arrival. The Revo locations share the Rebels Redemption card across all five properties; Granite State Gaming runs a unified program covering both Lilac Club and Beach Club; Chasers uses the Chip Card. Points earn free play, food credits, and event invitations.

Slot Machines and Gaming Machines

The 2025 state budget authorized standard RNG video lottery terminals alongside the existing historical horse racing machines, and properties began installing them in late 2025. Some floors now carry a mix of both - the ratio varies by venue and the transition is ongoing. In practice most players don't notice a difference.

Machine counts range from over 1,000 at The Nash down to around 30 at Lakes Region Casino in Belmont. The Brook, Gate City, and the larger Revo locations sit in between.

Table Games

Every venue offers live table games. Blackjack and roulette are universal; craps is available at the larger properties. New Hampshire Hold'Em - a locally developed variant - appears on floors across the state and is worth a try.

Recent legislative changes removed the old $50 maximum bet cap, so the bigger venues now run meaningful limits. The Nash, The Brook, and Revo Manchester are the places to go for serious table action. Games are standard house-banked with no separate ante fees or charity drops.

Poker Rooms

New Hampshire has a genuine poker scene. Gate City leads on table count at 20, followed by The Nash at 19 and Revo Manchester at 15. Chasers in Salem runs 16 tables and draws consistently from Massachusetts given its position just off I-93 at the state line - it is poker-first in a way the others are not, and the quality of the setup reflects that.

No-limit Texas Hold'Em cash games are standard across the state, with PLO at the busier rooms. Stakes run $1/$2 through $2/$5, higher on request. Revo Dover's six-table room is separated from the main floor, which keeps noise down. That is certainly worth knowing if you prefer a quieter session. Lakes Region in Belmont is a relaxed low-stakes environment, good for learning.

Sports Betting

Retail sports betting is available under DraftKings at The Nash, The Brook, Gate City, and Revo Manchester and Dover. They all have dedicated setups with windows, kiosks, and screens. The Brook's sportsbook is the most substantial.

Mobile betting has been legal state-wide since 2019 via DraftKings' exclusive license. If you're already a DraftKings user, your account works anywhere in the state.

Taking a Break

No New Hampshire casino has an on-site hotel. The Brook in Seabrook is the closest to a destination venue, with multiple dining outlets and a 250-seat entertainment space; Holiday Inn Express properties nearby are a practical base. For The Nash and Gate City in Nashua, Pheasant Lane Mall surroundings have good accommodation options. Chasers sits just off Route 93 with hotel choices along Route 28.

On-site dining ranges from The Nash's five restaurants and live music bar at the top end, through The Brook's multiple outlets, to the Rebels bar and restaurant that runs consistently across all Revo locations. Beach Club in Hampton runs four bars across two floors - the coastal setting in summer is a genuine draw. Lakes Region has a full bar and restaurant with a local, no-frills feel that suits the venue.

Smoking policies vary and have been shifting as properties renovate. Chasers is fully smoke-free. Beach Club has a rear smoking area with its own bar. Worth checking your specific property ahead of time.

If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, free support is available. The New Hampshire Council on Problem Gambling runs a 24-hour helpline at 1-800-522-4700. You can also reach the national Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), available 24 hours by call or text.

Free counseling is available through the New Hampshire Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services, which funds problem gambling treatment across the state. Ask your provider about coverage - services are available at no cost to New Hampshire residents who need them.

New Hampshire's self-exclusion program is administered by the New Hampshire Lottery and Gaming Commission. You can apply to exclude yourself from all licensed charitable gaming venues in the state for periods of one year, five years, or lifetime. Applications are available through the Commission's website at lottery.nh.gov.

Once enrolled, your name and photo are shared with all licensed venues. Exclusion covers the gaming floor - if you enter a venue while on the list, you may be removed and any winnings forfeited. Lifetime exclusion is irrevocable.

All licensed New Hampshire charitable gaming venues are required to display responsible gaming information and have staff trained to assist players showing signs of problem gambling. Most properties carry printed materials near the cage or players card desk. If you need a break or want to set a limit on your play, staff can assist.
