Boston Billiard Club & Casino<\/a> is now Gate City Casino. The name is inspired by its location, Nashua, N.H.<\/p>\n

The city is sometimes called \u201cGate City” because it acts as a gateway to the metro Boston region. The name change is an apparent tribute to the area.<\/p>\n

Last October, Delaware North, a hospitality and entertainment company, acquired Boston Billiard Club & Casino. The company is responsible for the name change.<\/p>\n

We renamed it the Gate City Casino to pay homage to its location and history in Nashua,” Brian Hansberry, president of Delaware North\u2019s gaming division, said in a recent statement. “Much like Nashua\u2019s history as the travel and economic\/cultural ‘gateway’ between the major city of Boston to Manchester, Concord, and all of New Hampshire, the new name reflects the expanded casino\u2019s significance to the region.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Delaware North<\/a> is also planning to eventually move Gate City Casino to the 337-room Sheraton Nashua hotel. Delaware North now owns the hotel.<\/p>\n

Gate City Casino contributes a portion of the proceeds to approved nonprofit organizations as a charitable gaming property.<\/p>\n

Boston Billiard Club & Casino has been a popular entertainment venue in Nashua since 2000 and is the longest operating charitable casino in the city, contributing more than $15 million to local and state charitable organizations since 2016,\u201d according to Hansberry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the name change comes several updates.\u00a0 The casino will also have over 500 gaming machines by the end of next month. A new poker room also recently opened with approximately 19 table games.<\/p>\n

DraftKings’ Newest Location<\/h2>\n

Nashua is also the newest location of a DraftKings<\/a> sportsbook. It became the fourth DraftKings sportsbook in New Hampshire<\/a>. The new sportsbook will include 12 self-service sports betting kiosks and an over-the-counter window for wagers. TV screens will show athletic events.<\/p>\n

DraftKings also plans to launch online operations in Kentucky<\/a> on September 28.<\/p>\n

Mall Casino Coming to Nashua<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere in Nashua, ECL Entertainment and Clairvest, a Toronto-based private equity firm, plan to open a 130,000-square-foot charitable gaming complex at the Pheasant Lane Mall in late 2024, according to New Hampshire Business Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n

ECL will reassign licenses from its Lucky Moose Casino & Tavern and River Casino & Sports Bar. Both are in Nashua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
