Casinos in New Hampshire have been granted the right to install an unlimited number of video lottery terminals (VLTs)
The new regulations are part of a broader legislative package. In addition to lifting restrictions on the number of VLTs, the law introduces new rules for high-stakes poker tournaments and table games, which will be taxed at a rate of 5%. Revenue from the lottery terminals will be taxed at 31%. The funds collected will go into the state’s general budget and support nonprofit organizations.
At the same time, the authorities have consolidated all existing self-exclusion programs for casino visitors into a single system, aimed at simplifying access to responsible gaming tools for residents. The commission's name has also changed from the New Hampshire Lottery to the New Hampshire Lottery & Gaming Commission, reflecting its expanded regulatory powers.
Supporters of the law emphasize its potential as a source of new tax revenue. VLTs, which are similar to slot machines, are considered a stable and popular means of generating income. Experts estimate that the reform could add up to $65 million (₽5.09 billion) annually to the state budget.
Governor Ayotte noted that gambling revenues could be directed towards restoring funding for pension programs for emergency services, as well as addressing other budgetary needs. Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the lottery, added that while the executive branch is responsible for raising funds, the decision on how to allocate them rests with lawmakers.
It is worth mentioning that the Lilac Club Casino recently celebrated its grand opening in New Hampshire.
