A breakthrough in New Hampshire could have the Granite State next to legalize online casino.

New Hampshire Sen. Tim Lang told attendees at the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States conference in Denver last week that the charitable casino operators who defeated the bill earlier this year have already changed their tune.

“I have been contacted by operators and they’re now saying we want you to file a bill in ’24 and we’ll work with you on getting it passed,” Lang said.

Last year, Lang introduced online casino legislation in New Hampshire for the first time with SB 104.

In 2019, he faced little opposition in getting online sports betting passed in New Hampshire.
