New Hampshire Gaming Revenue Reaches New Heights
By Dan Whitaker, Casino News Editor
New Hampshire's charitable gaming sector posted a strong May 2026, with the New Hampshire Lottery reporting total revenue of $46.9 million for the month. That figure represents a 30.2% increase compared with the same period last year, marking a substantial year-over-year uplift for the state’s charitable gaming receipts.
The boom was driven in large part by video lottery terminals (VLTs), the Lottery said, with VLTs accounting for the bulk of the monthly gain. Higher VLT revenue typically translates into larger funds flowing to charities and venue operators tied to charitable gaming, and this jump will be notable for local stakeholders.
Figures were released by the New Hampshire Lottery and published 2026-07-09. The numbers give a clear snapshot of where gaming dollars moved in May and will be watched by operators, regulators and beneficiaries alike.
Player angle: A sharp VLT-driven revenue increase can affect how much operators and charities reinvest in games and venues, which impacts the availability and activity players see. Our fast payout casinos guide has the up-to-date picture.
