The New Hampshire Lottery Commission has decided to shut down Concord Casino from January 1, with a possibility of reopening in six months under new ownership. This decision, revealed on December 28, is the outcome of Sanborn\u2019s disputed conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission moved to revoke Sanborn\u2019s license in August for federal fund misuse, leading to a hearing in December. The closure decision was finalized on December 27. Sanborn, a Republican from Bedford, had planned to expand his gaming business in Concord. However, his license was revoked due to dishonest fund acquisition, false fund usage claims, inadequate record-keeping, and excessive self-payment as rent.<\/p>\n<p>Investigations found Sanborn acquired $844,000 from the Small Business Administration between December 2021 and February 2022, excluding his casino from the application and misrepresenting his business activity. He allegedly spent heavily on luxury cars and claimed large sums as rent for his establishments.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing inspector Michael King, while not judging the honesty of the application, found the false information sufficient for license revocation. He dismissed Sanborn\u2019s defense regarding the car purchases and noted a violation of the credit terms.<\/p>\n<p>Sanborn, absent from the hearing due to a medical appointment, has not responded to the allegations. His attorney criticized the state\u2019s case as flawed and baseless. The casino\u2019s closure marks a significant turn for Sanborn and New Hampshire\u2019s charitable gaming sector, prompting a state criminal investigation following federal notification of the charges in August.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
