Andy Sanborn’s double-down appeal to find a way to sell his beleaguered Concord Casino after he faced a mountain of legal troubles was struck down by the state Supreme Court.
Sanborn, the former state senator, was ordered to cease operations and sell the casino on South Main Street in Concord three years ago after an investigation found he fraudulently applied for and received $844,000 in federal pandemic relief funds and used them for personal expenses.
The justices ruled that the New Hampshire Lottery & Gaming Commission acted lawfully when it revoked Sanborn’s gaming license and denied licenses to the prospective buyer who had agreed to purchase the now-shuttered casino and approved plans for a new facility on the city’s East Side.
