New Hampshire enacts law allowing casinos unlimited VLTs
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 2 into law on 30 June, allowing casinos to install unlimited video lottery terminals. The law assigns 31% of VLT revenue to tax and permits licensed providers to host high-stakes poker and table-game tournaments, subject to state approval and a 5% tax. It also consolidates self-exclusion programmes and authorises a New Hampshire Lottery & Gaming Commission.
The law changes casino capacity, gaming taxes and regulatory oversight in New Hampshire.
