Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun in eastern Connecticut are beginning to see their slot machine wins go up month to month, reversing a trend that began last year when the economy started to tank.
Foxwoods, which includes the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, reported today that its March slot win was nearly $62 million, a 1 percent increase over the same month last year. But it was also a 6 percent increase over February’s total, and the third-straight monthly increase.
Mohegan Sun says its slot win in March was $66 million, a 15 percent drop from March 2008. But it was a 4 percent increase from February, and the second-consecutive monthly increase.
The casinos give 25 percent of their slot wins to the state, which in March totaled nearly $32 million. (AP)
