Connecticut tribes report best month for slots

Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes reported their best month ever for slot machine revenues.

Together, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe saw a 3 percent increase in slot revenues for the month of July 2005. Close to $2 billion was gambled, according to news reports.

The tribes sent $40 million to the state. Gaming compacts require the tribes to share 25 percent of slot machine revenues.
