Of course the casinos will want the small mom and pop charitable companies out of the way. They want this business. While the small companies have grown this business from its grass roots, the big companies want the action to take place at their own venues so that the patron may stay a bit longer at the casino and play.

If you are in these areas, write to your congressman and tell them this is a bad idea. It will not help the charities raise more money, it will only raise the profits of the greedy casinos.

Here is the actual article from AP
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire panel working on recommending regulations for future casinos is considering strengthening the regulations for charity gaming, as well.

Gaming consultant Maureen Williamson told the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority on Thursday that stronger internal controls need to be enforced on the private operators of the games to ensure the charities and state are getting the correct share of the take, especially from table games. She suggested other changes so charitable games are treated the same as for a casino.

The New Hampshire panel must submit draft legislation to lawmakers by Dec. 15. The panel also is reviewing whether the regulations governing existing charity gambling should be revised.
