New Hampshire's Boston Billiard Club & Casino Undergoes Name Change, Launches Sportsbook
The Boston Billiard Club & Casino in Nashua, N.H., has been rebranded as the Gate City Casino. This name change is in honor of the city's nickname, "Gate City," which refers to its role as a connection point between Boston and other cities.
Delaware North, a hospitality and entertainment company, purchased the Boston Billiard Club & Casino last October and now manages the establishment.
Brian Hansberry, president of Delaware North's gaming division, said in a recent statement, "We renamed it the Gate City Casino to pay homage to its location and history in Nashua. Much like Nashua's 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's significance to the region."
Gate City Casino has operated as a popular entertainment venue in Nashua since 2000 and has given back to local and state organizations with charitable donations totaling over $15 million since 2016.
Under the new ownership, the casino will soon undergo some updates. By the end of next month, it is expected to house over 500 gaming machines. Additionally, a new poker room with around 19 table games has recently opened.
DraftKings' Expansion
Nashua is also where the latest DraftKings sportsbook has set up shop. It is the fourth DraftKings sportsbook in New Hampshire and can be found at the Gate City Casino. The facility features 12 self-service sports betting kiosks and an over-the-counter window for placing wagers. Screens showing sporting events have also been installed.
DraftKings is also set to launch online operations in Kentucky on September 28.
Future Mall Casino
A new gaming complex is set to open at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua by late 2024. This venture, led by ECL Entertainment and Clairvest, a Toronto-based private equity firm, will total 130,000 square feet. ECL plans to transfer licenses from its Lucky Moose Casino & Tavern and River Casino & Sports Bar in Nashua to the new venue.
