On Tuesday, the Lebanon casino will have a limited viewing for those who received invitations.

The new gaming property is located on the Miracle Mile in a former Honda car dealership. After a $10M renovation, the complex now includes a 20,000-square-foot casino.

It features around 137 slot machines, 10 gaming tables, five poker tables, entertainment space, a bar, and a restaurant. A designated smoking room will include 26 slots. Additionally, a radio studio will allow for live broadcasts from the casino.

Operating hours for the gaming floor are between 8 a.m. and 1 a.m. on Sundays to Thursdays, and between 8 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Entertainment Offerings Needed

Tracy Hutchins, president of the Upper Valley Business Alliance, highlighted the importance of entertainment offerings in the new Lebanon casino.

One of the things we hear most from our young professionals’ group is that there is really no place for nightlife in the Upper Valley,” Hutchins told the Valley News, a local newspaper. “The options are limited…It’s going to be a welcome addition.”

The parent company of the new gaming property is Los Angeles-based Peninsula Pacific Entertainment (P2E). P2E was founded by Brent Stevens in 1999 and most of its assets were acquired by Churchill Downs in 2022 for $2.75B.

In addition to operating the Lebanon casino, the New Hampshire Group (NHG) manages charitable casinos in Manchester, Keene, and Dover, N.H. A new NHG casino is set to open in Conway, N.H. in January.

The casinos now offer games such as Wheel of Fortune, Devil’s Lock, Huff N’ More Puff, Ultimate Fire Link, and Lian Lian Panda.

Many Charities to Benefit

Revo is expected to donate between $12M to $13M to approved charities by the end of December this year, as reported by the Valley News.

In the future, the new location in Lebanon will contribute to the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council and the New Hampshire Academy of Sciences, among other non-profit organizations.

Statewide, in 2023, approximately 800 New Hampshire approved charities received about $31.2M from all charitable casinos in the state.
