Revo Casino, one of the leading charitable gaming venues in New Hampshire, is preparing for a major expansion in Manchester. The casino—formerly known as Filotimo Casino—is set to transform into a larger, modern entertainment destination.
This project reflects the continued growth of the New Hampshire casino industry and highlights Manchester as a key hub for gaming, dining, and live events.
The people behind the project have The Granite State's future in mind.
The expansion comes shortly after New Hampshire lawmakers reviewed SB 542, which would change the state’s charitable gaming system by limiting game dates and adjusting how many charities can operate daily. The bill was referred for interim study in April, delaying any immediate changes to the New Hampshire casino industry.
A Bigger Vision for Revo Casino
The planned redevelopment for Revo Casino will combine five properties into one large site. The result will be a new 73,000-square-foot facility designed to offer more gaming, dining, and entertainment options.
Key features of the new casino include:
- Around 730 gaming seats
- Two full-service restaurants
- A large bar area
- Multiple entertainment stages
- A flexible event space that can hold up to 800 guests for concerts or 300 for seated events
The goal of this expansion is to position Revo as a top “social house” destination in the New Hampshire casino market.
Two-Phase Construction Plan
The project will move forward in two main phases to keep operations manageable.
- Phase 1 will focus on building the new casino. Crews will demolish the former Manchester Harley-Davidson dealership and the Even Hotel nearby. The new two-story casino will be built on that footprint, along with about 290 parking spaces.
- Phase 2 will begin after the new building is complete. The current Revo Casino structure will be demolished and replaced with additional parking. Once finished, the site is expected to have about 750 total parking spaces.
City officials have approved a temporary reduction in parking during construction.
Site Improvements and Traffic Flow
Beyond the casino itself, the project includes several upgrades to improve the surrounding area.
Planned improvements include:
- Better stormwater systems to reduce flooding
- New green spaces and landscaping
- An internal roadway to improve traffic flow
- Updated entrance features along South Willow Street, a key gateway near I-293
Some trees will be removed during construction, but developers plan to replant greenery elsewhere on the site.
Approval Timeline and Progress
The Revo Casino expansion has been in development since at least 2024. Since then, the project has moved through multiple approval stages.
Important milestones include:
- Zoning variances approved by the Manchester Zoning Board of Adjustment
- Planning Board approvals for site plans and conditional use permits in late 2024 and early 2025
- Additional updates and variances reviewed in 2026
- A public hearing was held in early June 2026 for the latest site plan
Developers also acquired nearby properties to expand the footprint and improve parking, which delayed earlier timelines but strengthened the overall plan.
The project is moving toward final approvals. Earlier reports suggest construction could take about 18 months once it begins.
If timelines hold, Phase 1 of the new Revo Casino could open around 2027.
Revo Casino’s Role in New Hampshire Gaming
Revo operates several casino locations across New Hampshire, including sites in Dover, Keene, Lebanon, and Conway. These venues offer charitable gaming, poker, sports betting, and dining.
The Manchester expansion is expected to become the brand’s flagship location. It will also strengthen the state’s position as a growing regional destination for casino entertainment.
Why This Matters for New Hampshire Casino Growth
The Revo Casino expansion highlights broader trends in the New Hampshire casino market:
- Increased investment in larger, multi-use gaming venues
- Strong demand for entertainment-driven casino experiences
- Continued development in key cities like Manchester
With improved infrastructure, expanded gaming space, and new entertainment options, this project could reshape how visitors experience a New Hampshire casino.
