The state Attorney General’s Office indicated Friday that it will not allow charitable gaming to resume at Andy Sanborn’s Concord Casino because it does not approve of Sanborn’s pending sale of the venue to a new owner.
If the decision stands, it would mark the end of the state’s nearly two-year effort to banish Sanborn from charitable gaming over his alleged misuse of $844,000 in pandemic aid.
It would also eliminate what could have been significant revenue for public education in the state, which shares in casino revenues.
Sanborn has been looking for a buyer for months because the state ordered him to close and sell his casino in December over allegations of pandemic aid fraud.
