The newest casino in New Hampshire is so close to Massachusetts that visitors who park out front must step across the state line to come in through the main entrance.

The Nash Casino, which occupies a former Sears building at the Pheasant Lane Mall, invites adults 21 and older to park in Tyngsborough, Mass., and gamble in Nashua, N.H., where the 130,000-square-foot facility features table games, more than 1,000 gaming machines, three restaurants, two additional bars, a four-bay Topgolf Swing Suite simulator, and more.

The casino, which held its grand opening this week, employs more than 600 people and expects its annual payroll costs will reach about $22 million, which speaks to the significant economic impact the entertainment venue could have for nearby communities.
