NH Senate Committee to Vote on Legalize a Casino in the State

Posted: Updated:
CONCORD, N.H. -

In New Hampshire, a Senate Committee is scheduled to vote Tuesday morning on a bill to legalize a casino in the state.

The bill would legalize up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games.

The proposal would tax the video slot proceeds at 30% and table games at 14%

It would require a $425 million investment.

Five percent of the video lottery revenue would go to the host community, neighboring communities and services for problem gambling.

The rest would be used to fund highway improvements, higher education and North Country development.

The table gambling revenue would all go to higher education.
