Mohegan Tribe reports drop in revenues in 2008

Thursday, May 8, 2008

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut reported a drop in gaming revenues for the first three months of 2008.

The Mohegan Sun Casino took in $86.3 million in earnings during that time. That's $10.3 million less than the $96.8 million the casino in during the same period in 2007.

Mitchell Etess, the CEO and president of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, attributed the decline to a slowing economy, competition from Rhode Island and other expenses at the casino.
