Reader:  Several of us are planning a vacation to Laconia in June 2008.  We were wondering if you have any casinos or horse tracks with slots or video poker in New Hampshire.   

Lisa:  There are is only one horse track in New Hampshire.  Rockingham Park is located in the town of Salem in southern New Hampshire.  We do have a few Greyhound race tracks.  I don't think there are any video poker machines at any of the tracks, however.  If they do have them, they are for entertainment purposes only.  Video poker machines that pay out cash winnings are illegal in our state.  The nearest casinos are in Connecticut, (Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods). 

If you are interested in the Greyhound tracks, I have included links below.
