New Hampshire Charitable Casinos Report $47.9 Million In August Gaming Revenue

New Hampshire's charitable gaming venues generated a combined $47.9 million in August, according to the New Hampshire Lottery & Gaming Commission's own August 2026 Gaming Revenue Report, published by the agency's Investigation & Compliance Division. 

The figure covers combined revenue from games of chance (GOC), video lottery terminals (VLTs), and historical horse racing (HHR) machines across the state's licensed charitable casinos.

VLTs Remain The Biggest Contributor

Video lottery terminals accounted for the largest share of the total, generating $27,547,649 for the month. 

Games of chance contributed $10,437,314, while historic horse racing machines added $9,929,899, according to the official report's own game-type breakdown. 

The report also shows a charity total of $7,486,148 once adjusted under the state law that prevents charities from receiving less than zero under the revenue-sharing formula. 

The commission publishes this same game-type breakdown every month, alongside separate charity-allocation reports every quarter, giving the public a running, venue-level record of how New Hampshire's charitable gaming sector is performing rather than relying on operator-reported figures.

14 Licensed Game Rooms Statewide

The commission's report lists 14 licensed game rooms statewide reporting revenue for August, including the five Revo Casino locations spread across Conway, Dover, Keene, Lebanon and Manchester, alongside Aces + Eights, Beach Club, Casino Salem, Chasers Poker Room, Gate City, Lakes Region and Lilac Club casinos, plus The Brook in Seabrook and The Nash in Nashua, the state's two largest charitable gaming venues.

Revenue-Sharing Funds State Programs And Charities

Under New Hampshire's charitable gaming model, revenue from each venue is split between the operating "game room" share, a charity share directed to the nonprofits sponsoring each week of play, and a state share. 

The report's own disclaimer notes that charity figures reflect revenue prior to adjustments mandated under state law (RSA 287-D:1, III(c)), which prohibits charities from receiving less than zero; after that adjustment, the state's adjusted charity total for August came to $7,486,148.

New Hampshire's charitable casino sector has grown since the legislature passed a 2023 law, signed by then-Governor Chris Sununu, raising the betting and wager limits charitable gaming operators may offer and allowing facilities to run machine-based or table-based games of chance as long as they remain tied to a sponsoring charity, according to the Valley News's coverage of the bill signing.

Under that law, each charity in the state can partner with a licensed gaming operator for up to 10 gaming dates a year, a structure that has helped push the sector's combined monthly revenue from the tens of millions toward a more consistent $40 million-plus range over the past year.

The monthly reports also break out historic horse racing (HHR) revenue separately from VLT and games-of-chance totals, reflecting a distinct licensing category the commission tracks, given the different machines and wagering mechanics involved. 

Industry watchers in the state have said the three-way split between VLT, games of chance, and HHR gives New Hampshire regulators a more granular view of where growth is actually coming from than a single combined "casino revenue" figure would, which is part of why the commission continues to publish the breakdown by category every month rather than a single top-line number.
