CONCORD, N.H. A survey finds about one-in-five New Hampshire residents visited Connecticut casinos in the past year. The figures released today by the U-Mass-Dartmouth Center for Policy Analysis are part of a study of New England residents' attitudes toward gambling. In a survey of 220 New Hampshire residents between September and November last year, 19 percent of respondents said they'd visited the Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun casinos in the last twelve months. It reports that the majority of New Hampshire visitors are 30 or older, have some college education, and 62 percent are women. New Hampshire gamblers make up just two or three percent of all Connecticut casino visitors. The survey has a margin of error of six-point-seven percent. The same survey last year reported that in 2005, New Hampshire gamblers spent 73 (M) million dollars at the casinos.
