Churchill Downs Inc. (CDI) has announced plans for a major expansion of its existing Casino Salem, located within The Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire. The current 19,000-square-foot gaming space will be redeveloped and rebranded as the Rockingham Grand Casino, growing to a massive 160,000 square feet across three levels of the state’s largest shopping mall.
The new Rockingham Grand Casino will feature a wide array of entertainment and gaming offerings, including:
– 825 historical racing machines
– 32 traditional table games
– 12 electronic table game seats
– A 900-seat live entertainment venue
– A variety of food and beverage options, including a central bar and a full-service sports bar and restaurant
The Salem Planning Board approved CDI’s development plan in December 2025.
The company expects to invest between $180 million and $200 million in the project, with a targeted opening date in mid-2027.
“We look forward to contributing to New Hampshire’s charitable organizations while bringing outstanding entertainment experiences to our guests across the greater Boston region,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of Churchill Downs Inc.
