With a $13.9-million payment to the state of Connecticut from its April slot machine revenue, the owners of the Foxwoods Resort Casino now have paid out more than $3 billion to the state government since Foxwoods first introduced slot machines.
The crossing of the $3 billion milestone was commemorated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on Wednesday. Slot machines first were introduced at Foxwoods in 1993.
Overall for April, the slot revenue was $52.3 million. The figure marks a 9.1-percent decrease in slot win and a 4.1-percent decrease in slot handle compared to April of last year.
