Slot winnings at Connecticut’s two Indian casinos were down in January from a year ago, continuing to slide with the economy.
The winning at the Mohegan Sun declined 8.7 percent compared to January 2008, the poorest year-over-year performance since October.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, which manages the casino, said slot revenues totaled $62.4 million. The tribe sent $15.6 million to the state under Connecticut’s gaming compact.
Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods reported January slot winnings of $52.9 million, 7.3 percent less than Foxwoods reported the previous January. But the performance was better than in December 2008, when Foxwoods’ slots win was off 19.3 percent. (AP)
