Casino-style gambling is starting to grow in New Hampshire, and local business owners are interested in a piece of the action. At least, they’ve been interested enough to inquire about it at City Hall.
That’s what City Manager Kirk Beattie said at a city council meeting earlier this month. He also said he wasn’t quite sure how to advise interested entrepreneurs, because there aren’t currently any zones in the city that expressly permit gambling.
In New Hampshire, gambling, including casino-style table gaming, is legal as long as a portion of the proceeds are directed toward charities.
The gambling industry in New Hampshire is modest in size.
