Berlin Planning Board Approves Revo Casino Charitable Gaming Site Plan at Former Northland Location
TL;DR — Berlin, New Hampshire’s planning board has approved a site plan for a proposed Revo Casino and Social House charitable gaming venue at the former Northland Restaurant and Dairy Bar on upper Main Street, which closed in 2021. Revo Casino already operates charitable gaming venues in Conway, Dover, Keene, West Lebanon and Manchester; no opening date or project cost was disclosed.
SCCG Take — This approval shows charitable gaming’s traction for local revitalization in small NH markets, yet pre-winter construction demands will pressure operators on execution and delivery of promised community support.
Berlin, New Hampshire’s planning board has approved the site plan for a proposed Revo Casino and Social House charitable gaming venue at the former Northland Restaurant and Dairy Bar on upper Main Street. The Northland closed in 2021. Salem NH Ventures LLC, led by Stefan Huba, is developing the project under the Revo Casino brand. Revo Casino already operates charitable gaming venues in Conway, Dover, Keene, West Lebanon, and Manchester.
The plans include a sit-down restaurant with 42 service seats, 14 bar seats, and an outdoor patio. They also call for a new entrance to the parking lot, improvements to the natural landscape, new sidewalks, and changes to lighting. The site will not have a flashing sign during evening hours. The board granted a waiver for 69 parking spaces, three fewer than the 72 required under zoning rules.
Community Support and Construction Timeline
Huba said the casino would support more charities in Berlin. Several residents backed the proposal for its potential to revitalize the local economy and aid non-profit organizations. Richard King of Jericho Road said, “I think it’s going to be a big plus for this area. I know I’ve heard nothing but good about the one in Conway.”
Mark Evans, who lives across from the former dairy bar and operates a nearby chiropractic office, said, “I can’t say the casino is my first choice as a neighbor, but I’m definitely happy to see the project going forward.” Civil engineer Brian Pratt stressed the need to complete paving and other work before winter, stating, “Time is of the essence.”
No opening date or project cost was disclosed, as reported by Yogonet International.

Charitable gaming's footprint grows in small NH markets, but pre-winter construction timelines will test Revo's execution and community promises.
We're tracking charitable gaming's expansion into secondary markets — it's a real revenue channel for brands that can't or won't wait for full casino licenses. Revo's building a New Hampshire footprint one revitalized property at a time, and municipal support signals appetite. But construction deadlines and community expectations create delivery risk.
