The Lottery Commission shuttered the room on June 2, per the report. Altogether, the room has been accused of violating six state rules pertaining to charity gambling.
The owner of the poker room, Dan Dandreo, reportedly denied the lottery’s claims. Dandreo reportedly has until June 23 to request a hearing on the matter.
The poker room has 25 tables, according to the room’s website. Additionally, it offered 10 Las Vegas-style table games such as blackjack and roulette, according to the website.
When the room closed, the maximum big blind allowed in New Hampshire was $4, so the biggest poker game it was offering was $2-$4 no-limit hold’em, according to the website. As of June 14, the maximum blind for the New Hampshire charity poker industry was increased to $10 thanks to the governor’s signature on House Bill 169.
