Higher bingo prizes and more chances
Beginning July 1, 2025, New Hampshire raises the bingo prize, token, and award cap per game date from $4,000 to $6,000. Commercial halls may provide up to $500 of that total, and existing state-law exceptions to the cap still apply. In carry-over games, funds remaining after all prize payouts roll to later game dates if nobody achieves coverall within 49 balls. Operators may offer approved patterns before coverall and a second-chance coverall after the first coverall is achieved. Prizes for these added patterns and second-chance games must be set in advance and paid from accumulated carry-over funds.
