Mohegan Sun posted higher slot revenues in October, while Foxwoods reported a decline, tribal casino operators reported Tuesday.
The increase at Mohegan Sun follows a 3.2-percent gain in September, but Foxwoods’ September gain of 3.8 percent disappeared last month. Both casinos have struggled this year with inconsistent revenues since March.

Foxwoods Resort Casino reported slot revenue of $37 million for the month of October, down 4 percent compared to $38.5 million in October of 2015. Its handle for the month was $483.5 million, up two tenths of a percent from the $482.5 million wagered in the same month in 2015.
