Theoretical Payouts Return Statistics in New Hampshire

Under a charity provision in state laws, poker rooms and casino clubs can partner with charities to donate a portion of their revenue from table games-of-chance.

Nearly 400 charities attach themselves to these 27 licensed rooms and clubs. However, these state gaming regulations require fundraisers to provide 35% of their revenue to the charities they are sponsoring.

Note this is 35% of their revenue, not their profit. Therefore, the theoretical payout return must be at least as low as 65% for organizers to break even on their costs for holding a fundraiser.
