$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Foxwoods Resort Casino brought in $30.8 million in slot revenues in August, down from its take one month prior but still relatively strong considering the casino’s months-long recovery from the lockdowns of early 2020.
Foxwoods’s slot machines generated $36.5 million in July — its highest monthly figure since the COVID-19 pandemic began — and $29.4 million in June, just as the state’s economic reopening got underway.
Slot earnings were up slightly over August 2020, when officials reported $29.6 million in revenues.
According to the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which owns and oversees Foxwoods, August’s earnings will translate into a $7.7 million payment to the state under the terms of Connecticut’s long-standing slot revenue contribution agreement.
Foxwoods reopened to the public on June 1, 2020, with various services and operations coming back online over the following weeks and months.
