Connecticut tribal casinos see post-hurricane surge in guests

Friday, November 2, 2012  

Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes are seeing a surge in business following Hurricane Sandy.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe shut down some services during the storm. But they are now reporting an increase in business now that the worst has passed.

“The casino floors are a flurry of activity," a spokesperson for Foxwoods Resort Casino told The New Haven Register.

“Since Monday it has turned back to normal, maybe a little bump up,” Mohegan Sun president and CEO Bobby Soper told the paper.
