I planned to gamble at Mohegan Sun during my vacation on Winnipesaukee, but the weather was just too nice to leave the lake for a couple days.
So my ears really perked up when I learned that there was an actual up and running casino nearby, offering craps, roulette, three card poker. let it ride, blackjack and poker.

The Lodge at Belmont: site of the former dog track.
I like playing craps, and they have a real craps table, but they tweak the payouts on line and place bets in favor of the house.
So if you just have to scratch that gambling jones and don't want to leave the area to satisy it, there is now a casino for you.
Bravo, New Hampshire: as they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
