Fun time and professional staff, add a damn good food menu with tremendous ocean views and you can't help but have a great time! Go check this place out and see for yourself! read more

When I lived in Hampton it was a regular hang-out for me, alot of fun and good times there. I now live in SWFL and I miss Anthony, Diane, Alfie, Joe, Melissa and all the local regulars that came there. If ever I come to Hampton this will be my first stop. read more

A fabulous Casino! Open daily all year round! A fabulous bar and bartenders Especially blonde Melissa . A delicious menu. Cordial staff. Anthony and Diane are pristine and welcoming to all! read more

The staff are very friendly. I played poker and the woman learned my name and remembered it even after I left for a concert and then came back. The poker table (singular ) is kind of ghetto. It wobbles and doesn't have a center betting circle. There's no automatic shuffler either. I suppose the food is OK. I tried the Buffalo strips during happy hour and they were decent. read more

I've been to close to 60 casinos, and this is the smallest casino I've ever been to. But you know what -- it does the trick. Low limit gaming, Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, 3 Card Poker, and Texas Hold'em are all offered, and its right on the main drag at Hampton Beach. Max bet is $4, so $20 or $50 will last you awhile. Its not Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, but its simple and nice. I guess the one negative is that low-limits equals "wild" gaming. People hitting on 16's at blackjack when the dealer is showing a 6. Coming from "real" casinos like Connecticut's offerings, it can be a little hard to stay calm at first, but when you remember it's $2-$4, you really have to relax! read more

Ocean Gaming - Casinos Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

This is a small casino on the Hampton Beach strip. They have slots however the slot games aren't the same ones as you'll find in Vegas and casinos in other states. They have table games like poker and blackjack. The blackjack minimum bet is $2. The max is $4 so the good thing is you can't really go overboard here and lose a lot of money. Slot max bets are relatively low as well. If you need you quick fix and need to gamble, this is a nice, fun place to try out. read more

Very small casino right in front of hampton beach. Blackjack tables start off at $2 and only go up to $4, which I wish was at least $6 to win more money, but I guess that way you also dont lose alot. Always packed so expect a wait if you come here on a saturday afternoon wanting to play blackjack. Waitresses are friendly and quick to get your drink with no issues at all. Great small casino to go to if you don't want to bet a ton of money and enjoy the beach right after. read more

I always have a great time at ocean gaming. I try to make the trip up from Boston at least once a month. The staff is very friendly and Anthony does a great job checking on all the tables and making sure we are set for drinks. I have stopped going to Foxwoods for now because I can enjoy the same games here. It's also a great place for newer players because the dealers are patient when explaining the rules and you can't bet more than 10 bucks on blackjack. Food and drinks are good too! They also donate 35 percent of their profits to charity! read more

I've gone to this place frequently and haven't really had any complaints, when you first go in they do ID and it is 18 plus, the slots are nice where they are touch screen and you can choose what kind of game you want to play on them, what I didn't like was that they close at 11:00 pm even though the whole casino closes at 1:00 am. I am usually just a slots gambler but I do think the employees are very nice, unfortunately the drinks are not free, but I would say overall good casino for Hampton NH. I played this wheel game which was fun also and the workers are very nice and for me, I just turned 21 and do not know much about card gambling games, they were really helpful in explaining them! I would go back! read more

Should have a bit more Texas Hold'em and management getting pisses when the players win, I enjoy my time when I go there. I don't go to win, I go to play have a good time. read more

Jefferey the pit boss is possibly the worst casino worker I've ever encountered . Yelled at me about things out of my control and when I calmed down and went to talk to him about what he said he was rude again. Won't go back , pitiful casino, you're better off taking the couple hour drive to twin river in those island read more

Honestly, really poor experience. I'm 40 years old and sober for 10 years and the bartender told me she wouldn't serve me and my boyfriend. The boy I'm with isn't even my boyfriend. He's my brother. How sick is that?!?!? Honestly, an extremely communist place. If you can afford to pay the money to stay near Hampton, NEVER go to this place. I'm extremely offended and would like to speak to management. Directly and as soon possible. I'm embarrassed that I even came here. read more

One star for the friendly staff and that's about it. Horrible place for poker. Cash game is completely unorganized and everyone talks about their hands while others are still in the hand. Dealers seemed clueless and did not take control of the table when needed. If you want an organized and professional game look elsewhere. Definitely don't recommend! read more

Worst place on the strip!!! The host who claims she the owner was extremely rude and used vulgar language to my 80 year old mother!!! When we arrived there was no waitstaff on the deck so I went in to find someone. When I looked outside I could see the "female owner"scolding my mother for have an empty bottle of water, which we thought would be ok to toss in their trash... we were going to eat lunch have a drink or 2 and gamble... the language used to my mother was disrespectful and degrading... I tried to explain but she wouldn't listen and turned on me using the same language!!! We left will NEVER go back they lost our business that day and spent $246 at another establishment on the strip where we were greeted with smiles!!!! read more

Went in with a friend today to play. I went to use the bathroom before we played. As I was using bathroom, my friend was asked to leave because he had a backpack (for beach). My friend was not allowed to put backpack someone safe at the casino but instead they asked him to leave on the ground unattended. We had no choice but to leave. As I was walking downstairs a man who worked there pursued us and said to not use his bathroom ever again if we are not staying to play. For a place not doing well they definitely don't want your business. Be more polite and understand the situation before you make that kind of statement. read more

I have been here a couple times with my girlfriend and we both agree this is a great night out. It is a small time place so you do not win or lose a lot. You come here strictly for the love of casino games. I am going to give a thumbs up to Julie, who deals here and drives 2 hours to work here. She remembers our names the minute we walk in. I will also give kudos to the management staff who warmly greeted us the second we entered. Beers are served in those cold, aluminum bottles. As a suggestion to management, it would be nice if there was a $2 beer night, that place would fill up. There are always lot of open tables. The atmosphere feels like a real casino unlike other NH charitable gambling venues where they pour little money into the venues and has a basement feel to it. We will be back! read more

small casino, friendly staffs , patrons, I had a relaxing evening play $4.00 black jack will visit again soon read more

This 1 star is for the blonde waitress at the front bar. SHE SUCKS!!!!! If your not a regular then she don't give 2 shots if you get your drink or not. read more

Great staff, clean place, The manager is a very legit guy (or so he seems), working the rounds on the floor making sure everything is being run top notch. Great service, great bar, food, and I walked away a winner. My only complaint is that they actually have the NERVE to put up "gambling problem?" signs. You guys take max $4 a hand. Is it even possible to call $4 bets a gambling probleM? read more

I don't gamble at all, but I go here for the BEST pizza on Hampton Beach!!

Spent 4 hrs here and this is my review. First, bartenders and dealers are friendly and helpful with the exception of one dealer who was more like a robot. If you are looking to play blackjack you must be patient as they only have one table open early. There were 4 of us and the female owner didn't care that we wanted to play blackjack despite that 2 others tables were not used and dealers were standing around bored. We finally got on a blackjack table and were having fun, cheering when winning, etc and the female owner told us we were too loud! It was weird, the place was very quiet most of all and she hovered and was quick to let people know if they were out of line lol. It was like she was running a library. We did have a good time but won't go back because of this. read more

Not from around this area drove three hours for a nice weekend get away decided to come here for food and drinks. Dawn the waitress was very friendly and worked as fast as she could considering how busy they were. Male bartender was rude. Not sure if he was trying to be funny or sarcastic but being a younger crowd in there surrounded by a much older a crowd was not pleased with how we were treated. Food and service was well however the conversation taken up with the male bartender was inappropriate read more

So I go in to Ocean Gaming try to play cross cross but all 6 seats taken. Go over to black jack told only 4 players at a black jack table. WTF. Try to play Roulette but I'm next then told "forgot" 2 in front of you. Remember tips will reflect this. Also fuck Covid! read more

Ocean Gaming (a.k.a. Oceanfront Gaming) is a "charitable gaming establishment" (a.k.a. low-stakes casino that profit shares with local charities in order to legally operate in the state of New Hampshire). Apparently, NH law allows for "casino nights" to be operated for the benefit of charitable organizations with certain other limitations involved. One of the limitations, or so I've been told, is that these casino nights are not supposed to be a full-time enterprise for any particular charitable organization, so to get around that these enterprising folks have a rotating list of charities that take something like 30% of all profits from any given night: the charity of the night is displayed at the top of the stairs as you enter (think The Hampton Beach Historical Society or the Southern New Hampshire Arts Council type groups). The great thing about this is, when you lose you can say "Hey, it's for charity" and not exactly feel like an idiot. Another limitation is that it's $4 MAX bets. If you sit at a black jack table you can play 2 hands at $4 each (and play that little "Match the dealer" side bet at $1-4 each) for a total of $16 bucks and that is literally the highest initial bet you can put down on any given hand of black jack (you can double down/split etc. beyond opening bet too). Similar rules apply to the other table games (let it ride, 3-card poker), and $4 max on any given number on the roulette table, though you can bet multiple numbers. They also have craps, but I have no idea how to play that so I won't comment. As far as I can tell, only 25% of the people who play craps actually know what is going on- the rest simply play the pass line and yell a lot. (BTW: Saw a guy get hit in the eye with a dice at a craps table in Foxwoods, even though the guy was nearly blinded the casino was more concerned with whether it was a legal roll or not due to interference- nice.) The staff are all super friendly and if you go more than once you'll start to recognize the dealers, waitresses, etc. A lot of the dealers are kids in college (you only have to be 18 to play here by the way, so I assume same goes for dealing) and one of them told me they're mostly friends with a kid whose mom got them all the job. Even the ones who aren't college age tend to be new dealers and aren't exactly the honed caliber you might find in Vegas or down in CT so pay attention. There's one dealer (no names because I like him/her) who has tried to take my money 7 times now (keeping count) when I either push or actually win and had to correct him/her. Similarly, I've been paid on losing hands (yes I correct that too, karma baby). Just keep track because sometimes a dealer's 23 beats your 21 some how. They also serve fairly cheap beers ($4.50 pints of Harpoon, $2.50/$3.50 pints of Miller/Coors depending on special). I tend to walk out of this place with a couple extra bucks in my pocket after tipping the dealer (again, karma baby) so I feel like it's a lucky spot. In reality it's probably just because I'm not betting $15 minimum/hand and can play longer. With the being said, you can play something like black jack for hours and even if you're doing badly, depending on your bets ($1 minimum) you might only walk out down $20. On that last note: The betting minimums/maximums and the atmosphere tend to lead this place to feel much more laid back than your standard, legit casino. I like that feel a lot better cause you don't get the dummies who bet $100/hand, hit on 16 and then bitch at you for NOT hitting a soft 19. Sorry, I'm good at 19, really rather not turn it into a 13-16. If you're one of those people, don't come here. There are a lot of people who don't fully understand the game and you have to put up with it, but at least they aren't going to cost you too much $$. Bottom line: If you want to play some table games (no slots) at low stakes for a couple hours after a day at the beach come here. If you're looking to be the next Rain Man or whatever and make a killing I'd suggest driving a couple hours south to one of the Native American owned and operated joints. Place closes at 1 am. read more

I myself am astonished about these "positive" reviews. While the place is clean and new, I cant say the same about the staff and the service. As a place where the max bet is $4, you can assume I am not writing this review solely on the fact that I lost a lot of money. This place is run by absolute scum bags. While by law they are required to pay into a charitable fund, they could care less. The owners are extremely rude and look down on people in a very unprofessional way. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes waiting to be served, and when the waitress finally stopped jibberjabbering to the bouncer, I asked for a manager, at which I got the very rude reply "why would you need a manager? You didn't even ordered yet." And when the owner came over, I told him about the issue and said "what do you want, a comp in my luxurious hotel?, or how about a free buffet voucher? come on buddy, my girls wouldn't do that" I immediately got up and left. Folks if you enjoy the poker scene and don't have many options in the area, go to the poker room in Hampton falls, while it may not be perfect, the owners and staff are professional. Do not, I repeat do not even go here, you'll be sorry you did. read more

My husband and I went here this past weekend and enjoyed it so much we regret not learning about it until now. It is a small, laid back and low key "casino" that has a bar and outside deck as well. There were about 6-7 tables open on a Sunday night and it was not crowded at all so you could easily get it on any game you wanted too. The employees are so inviting, helpful and down to earth. They actually root for you to win which I really liked because at big casinos the employees act like its a crime if you win. The only thing I was disappointed about was the roulette table. I guess it's not a popular game up here so it's only open on Friday and Saturdays. We will definitely be back here! Thank you Ocean Gaming for a great experience :) read more

Diana(Owner) was awesome. I live in Vegas(from Springfield,MA) and they welcomed me with open arms. Drinks are cheaper than most of the bars out here in Hampton Beach and I was amazed. Table minimum was $5 and table max was $5 so it was hard to get used to but at least I can win on streaks possibly. Draft beer was great! read more

Something different for the beach, open year round. I had a birthday here for my husband which they were very nice about- but it was not private. Had random people walking through the party eating our food we paid for. Would rethink having a party here , but it is a fun place for a night out. read more

If I could I would give this place zero stars I would . The owner was very unprofessional and rude . It wasn't welcoming at all . I won't be coming back !! read more

Terrible place!!! When I was losing they were nice and when I started winning they were nasty. They are rude and unprofessional. After you eat and spend your money they want you out of there. I was just laughing not loud just normal with friends and they said we want you out. And the bartender walked by and said why don't you screw! read more

This place has been mine and my boyfriends favorite during our entire vacation. We found ourselves throwing out terrible food from other places and walking back here for more- the bartender, Alfie was our favorite. He remembered us after just one visit so we kept coming back for more. The blackjack dealers are all very friendly and don't mind helping walk you through the game if you're new to gambling like myself. Although our vacation is coming to an end, I can assure you we will be coming back here if ever in the area. Great food, atmosphere and company! Very much recommended! read more

A great place to have a fun night out! The owner and his staff run a top notch place and always make you feel welcome. Very clean and a great place hang out for the night! Great views of the ocean and beach!!! read more

What a fun place!!! Food and service were great. I had a great Bloody Mary. But what I loved most of all were the $2 bets you could put on Blackjack. My boyfriend and I had a great afternoon. We will definitely be returning. read more

We've been coming to Hampton Beach for many years and this Casino for the past 4-5. We've always enjoyed ourselves, the owner and the majority of the staff has been nothing but great! Had an issue with the blond day bartender in the past (totally ignored me while waiting for a drink) but I just finally got my drinks and went on my way. Same bartender this Sunday afternoon was there, my girlfriend and I stood at the bar for at least 20 minutes while she ran around like she was so busy. Loud & obnoxious and even at one point telling a local that the other girls that were waiting before us "will just have to wait." All this time making drinks first for any "friends" that walked over. Finally I asked her if we could order a few drinks and her comment was "just a minute, " while she did nothing but run her mouth to anyone who would listen. We FINALLY got our drinks and went on the deck. My husband said "geeze I thought you forgot about me." I told him how bad she is (TERRIBLE bartender). Well someone went in and told her we were "bad mouthing" her. I repeated to her exactly what I said to my husband! She cut US off and they asked US to leave! Sorry Tony but how can you allow this? I own a bar and I would NEVER allow my bartender to walk away from the bar to confront someone that has a bad opinion about her. I have no doubt this isn't the first time you've gotten complaints about her. Loud, obnoxious and thinks she's all that! She's NOT!!! Unfortunately the crew from Schenectady won't be back. read more

I usually do not do these types of things, but while at Hampton Beach today I decided to stop in for lunch. it was a beautiful day and I decided to sit outside. there were two staff members outside. One offered me a drink and both proceeded inside after. Nobody came back. I sat out there for 10-15 minutes and nobody offered me a menu or asked for my order. I am a bit disappoined because the salads looked good. The kicker is that it is the down season so the place did not appear to be extremely busy. Maybe a bad day or maybe they just don't care. Not sure if I will return or not to find out. read more

Took back fall trip over there front step fall on my knee and hit head. They asked I was ok Sat at bar with husband knee started hurting bad ask for ice took forever and waitress seemed less concerned as she was just interested in tips. Not even offered complementary drink. Never go back read more

We went for the first time on a friday afternoon, there were only about 15 - 20 people there. The craps table was not open, I wish that it had been. There were only 4 - 5 blackjack tables open, that may be the only tables that hey have? We played blackjack, when we sat down there were 5 of us but quickly it got down to 3 of us, which means you loose your money even faster. I enjoyed that it was close by and I liked the min bet of $2, but wish that they had a higher max. The employees were very friendly. A mixed drink was $7. read more
