Connecticut tribes see another drop in revenues

Tuesday, November 18, 2008  

Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes reported yet another drop in slot machine revenues.

Slot revenues were down 7.5 percent at Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods, both owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. The Mohegan Tribe saw a 9 percent drop at the Mohegan Sun.

”We can't really feel good about 9 percent, but considering the numbers of everybody else in the Northeast, we're doing pretty well," said Mohegan Sun executive Mitchell Etess, referring to numbers from other gaming facilities in the region, The New London Day reported.

Both tribes recently debuted casino expansions.
