Gamblers at New Hampshire casinos will soon be able to place wagers as high as $50 on games including blackjack and roulette, after Gov. Chris Sununu signed SB 120 into law earlier this week.

Starting July 1, the current cap of $10 per wager will be lifted on games of chance at local charitable gaming facilities. Poker tournament entry fees are also growing, from the current maximum of $150 to up to $2,500.

All New Hampshire casinos must give 35% of proceeds to a rotating list of nonprofits. In recent years, state lawmakers have loosened regulations on everything from the hours of operation at casinos to permitting the use of slot machines.
