Connecticut slot numbers slip
17 October 2007CONNECTICUT -- As reported by the Connecticut Day: "In September, slot machine revenue dropped at both Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun.
"Foxwoods took in $67.2 million dollars but its net slot win decreased by 2.6 percent over last September.
"The Mohegan Sun slot revenue totaled $77.3 million, and was down 1.2 percent compared with last September.
"Mohegan Sun President Mitch Etess said the drop was made more bearable by the knowledge that net slot wins in Atlantic city plunged by much more.
"...The dynamic of the casino market is going to keep shifting in New England as Massachusetts makes a play for casinos and new entrants like Twin River in Rhode Island and Yonkers Raceway in New York continue to compete with Connecticut, Etess said..."
