Gamblers at New Hampshire casinos will soon be able to place wagers as high as $50 on games including blackjack and roulette, after Governor Chris Sununu signed SB120 into law earlier this week.
Starting July 1, the current cap of $10 per wager will be lifted on games of chance at local charitable gaming facilities.
Poker tournament entry fees are also growing, from the current maximum of $150 to up to $2,500.
All New Hampshire casinos must give 35% of proceeds to a rotating list of nonprofits.
The influx of money is driving up proceeds for casino owners, as well as for the receiving charities.
Last fiscal year, donations to charities from gaming facilities topped $15 million dollars.
