The Manshatucket Pequot Tribal Council agreed to finance such an enterprise, but the State of Connecticut, and its attorney Austin J. During this year, the Pequots began to discuss the viability of an on-reservation Bingo facility.

Now they try to have the most expensive cars and houses… Amazing, isn’t it? So how did this monstrosity come about?įoxwoods Casino began in spirit, in 1983. They continually battle to one-up each other, a tradition dating back to when the tribes were actually tribes and used to kill each other. And that’s just slot revenue they rake in tens of millions more from table games, of course.įoxwoods and Mohegan Sun are both located in semi-rural southeastern Connecticut. I’m happy to report that CTMQ has contributed $0.00 to that tally. Mind you, each casino averages about $70-80 million dollars in revenue per month. And the state’s stake in the gaming here is equally silly Connecticut collects only 25% of slot revenue (only) from the two behemoth casinos. While I fully support the Native American cause, I think gaming to “pay back” the debt is silly. I don’t really gamble, as giving money away at the rate of 25 bucks a minute isn’t really my idea of fun. But I won’t – most either love them or hate them and my silly website isn’t going to sway you one way or another. I could probably write a 3000 word missive about Connecticut’s two MASSIVE casinos and their real economic effects on the state.
