"Now Open: 24/7 gaming action, 12 heart-pounding table games, all new Oxford Loyalty Club, over 500 state-of-the-art slot machines"

Was surprised that they have craps.

I still frequent Mohegan Sun (about 3-4 times a month); but am a bit intrigued by a casino so close to home (I live in Southern, NH).

It's a very small casino, with an expansion of 300 more slots in October. There are only about 15 video poker games at the bar only. They are multi denom but with horrible pay tables, I wouldn't waste my time. The staff if friendly although green. Rod

If you google the joint, there's youtube video on the grand opening.
And this 2012 report (56 page pdf) about new england casino gambling is interesting:

From what I can tell it's regualar Class III gambling. 150 miles from Boston so won't be a regular visit. Might be nice during fall foliage.
