| Foxwoods Resort Casino | Mohegan Sun Casino |
Foxwoods was New England's first casino. It is also the largest casino in the world and according to Business Week it is "the most profitable gambling operation in the U.S., if not the world." The slot machines alone bring in more than $2 million a day in gross profit. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe which operates Foxwoods had to sue the state to allow the casino to open. They argued that since the state legally permitted "Las Vegas Nights," where low-stakes casino games were operated to benefit charities, then the tribe should be entitled to do the same. Eventually, they won their case before the U.S. Supreme Court and began construction of their casino which was financed by a Malaysian conglomerate (after 22 U.S. lenders turned down their loan requests). When the casino first opened in February 1992, slot machines were not permitted. In January 1993 a deal was made between Governor Weicker and the Pequots which gave the tribe the exclusive right to offer slot machines in return for a yearly payment of $100 million, or 25% of the gross slot revenue - whichever is greater. The agreement was subject to cancellation, however, if the state allowed slot machines anywhere else in Connecticut 
In early 1994 the Mohegan tribe signed a compact with the state that allows them to offer casino gambling at their reservation in Uncasville (map location #2). The Pequots gave permission for the Mohegans to have slot machines in their casino and in return the state lowered the Pequots yearly payment requirements to $80 million, or 25% of the gross revenue - whichever is greater. The same payment schedule also applies to the Mohegans. The payment schedules are subject to cancellation, however, if the state legalizes any other form of casino gambling. The Mohegan casino opened in October 1996. The minimum gambling age at both properties is 18 for bingo and 21 for the casino. Both casinos are also open 24 hours. For information on visiting Connecticut call the state's Vacation Center at (800) 282-6863. The games offered at Foxwoods are: blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, mini-baccarat, big six wheel, bingo, poker, pai gow poker, Caribbean stud poker, let it ride, keno, pull tabs, red dog, casino war and chuck-a-luck.

Denomination Payback % 5˘ 89.23 25˘ 90.71 50˘ 91.26 $1.00 92.00 $5.00 94.76 $10.00 94.75 $25.00 95.42 $100.00 95.93 Average 91.78
These figures reflect the total percentages returned by each denomination of slot machine from July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000. Foxwoods' total win on its slot machines during that year was slightly less than $757 million and of that amount 25%, or about $189 million, was paid to the state. Keep in mind that the casino doesn't pay any tax on its table games and therefore it isn't required to report the profits on that part of its operation. A rough estimate of the table game wins, however, is possible. Since the average casino generates about 65% of its profits from its slot machines, it can be estimated that Foxwoods' total combined (slots and table games) win is about $1.16 billion. After subtracting the slot winnings of $757 million this leaves a table games win of about $403 million
The games offered at Mohegan Sun are: blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, mini-baccarat, wheel of fortune, bingo, poker, pai gow poker, Caribbean stud poker, let it ride, Spanish 21, casino war and keno
