It’s a good bet there will be changes and possibly new revenues coming from and to charity casinos after a gangbuster report of the opening of The Nash casino this past week by the state lottery commissioner.

He spoke to a legislative committee on a bill related to the phasing out of historic horse racing and the advent of video lottery terminals on Monday.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte is also looking at this growing revenue source as a number of casino bills fly around Concord to help charitable organizations, the Education Trust Fund and the Group II retirement fund among others in a new, two-year budget.
