Super Slots legal loophole in New Hampshire!

The State of New Hampshire has come up with an ingenious way of allowing consumers to play internet casino games while remaining clear of the UIGEA.They have figured out legal loophole that allows people in New Hampshire to play online casino games, like Super Slots, and not go against the UIGEA rulling. The Federal government managed to overlook lottery groups and horse racing organizations which are not included in the legislation that has banned online gambling in the USA.

The state will sell actual lottery tickets to players, in return for play time on internet casino action. The ‘loophole’ in the system strikes the need for New Hampshire to accept payment from players over the net thus thwarting the restrictive payment processing requirements of the UIGEA.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act stops payment processing through banks and credit companies but with the purchase of a ticket from the PlayNowNH system players are allowed into the online gambling world. Every PlayNowNH ticket will contain a special code giving the purchaser credit at a dedicated online gambling site. Gamblers must go to the point of purchase to retrieve winnings or collect any prizes they may win. The maximum ‘lottery’ ticket denomination is $100.00 but they also are available in a other values.

Games available when the launch of the New Hampshire ‘lottery’ comes online July 1st will include baseball, super slots, New Hampshire Poker and speed bingo. As with other lottery style games, all prizes in PlayNowNH are predetermined when the purchase of the ticket is made. Some tickets are winners and some are not. Players enter the 30-digit code on their ticket, and are able to play the games they paid for. If the ticket is not a winning ticket then the punter is not really playing for prizes. The fact is players don’t even need to go online to see if their tickets are winners.
