CONCORD — A bill to allow towns to choose whether or not to allow charitable gaming casinos passed the House Thursday. The bill was co-sponsored by Rep. David Paige (D-Conway).
Dick Anagnost of Bedford and partner Stefan Huba are seeking to turn the former Tiney’s Grocery in Conway into a sports restaurant with table games and electronic machines called Revo. The developers hope to start construction in the spring.
