New Hampshire casinos operate with charitable gaming licenses. This requires each casino to pay 35% of its gross gaming revenues to local charities and 10% of gross gaming revenues to the New Hampshire Lottery for the education fund.
From a player point of view, there isn’t that much difference. The venues are able to offer bingo, live table games, such as blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker and slots. The only difference is the slots aren’t Class III gaming machines that work off a Random Number Generator (RNG) like in Las Vegas. They are Class II machines that look and feel the same as Vegas-style slots but work off historical horse racing data for their outcomes.
