Developers of the new Hampton Beach Casino complex have secured another key approval, paving the way for a 52,000-square-foot charitable gaming casino.
The town Zoning Board voted 4-1 on May 15 to grant a special exception, allowing owners Sal Lupoli and Fred Schaake to nearly quadruple the gaming space in the future complex, which will include a new Casino Ballroom music venue, 204-room boutique hotel, and 99 condominiums.
“We are the smallest casino (charitable gaming facility) in the entire state,” Lupoli told the board. “Our vision was to always rebuild this and be year-round.”
Charitable gaming has been a part of the existing Casino complex at 169 Ocean Blvd. since 2014.
