In 2006, House Bill 1744 was enacted, allowing casinos in New Hampshire to operate with the obligation that 35% of their gross gaming revenue be donated to charity and 10% to the New Hampshire Lottery to support public education. So what is “charitable gaming,” and how did it originate? So far in 2023, the total raised for charities is $19.7 million - more than last year, not even halfway through the year. In total, New Hampshire casinos donated over $17.7 million from games of chance - games like poker and roulette - and historic horse racing machines to charities in 2022, according to Charlie McIntyre, executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, which oversees gambling in the state. As the industry grows, the donations only seem to be increasing. As the only state in the country whose casino industry employs a charitable gaming business model, New Hampshire nonprofits and schools have reaped millions of dollars.
