Casinos in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has no Las Vegas-style commercial casinos and no legal online casino. What it does have is a unique "charitable gaming" framework: licensed venues run table games, poker rooms, and historic horse racing machines, with a fixed share of revenue funding registered nonprofits. Several of these venues also house DraftKings Sportsbook retail kiosks.

A regulatory model where licensed venues offer table games and HHR but a fixed share of gross gaming revenue is paid to nonprofits — schools, civic groups, charities. Operators are licensed by the NH Lottery Commission and rotate through partner charities.
What are historic horse racing (HHR) machines?
HHR machines play out the results of historical horse races. Visually they resemble slot machines but the underlying outcome is a recorded race result, not a random number generator alone. Most NH charitable gaming venues run HHR floors.
How old do I need to be to enter a NH charitable gaming venue?
Most NH charitable gaming venues require players to be 18 or older. Some specific games or floors may have higher age limits — check with the venue.
