We celebrated our 25th anniversary, our entertainment returned, we got back to a normal calendar. In an official press release, Mohegan Sun’s president and general manager Jeff Hamilton spoke about October 2021 and said: “It was a great month. But 2021 brought the return of the casinos’ normal activities, capacities and even shows at the Mohegan Sun Arena, including two by Sebastian Maniscalco, two by Harry Styles and one by Blake Shelton. Mohegan Sun contributed $11.1 million of its October slots revenue to the state, while Foxwoods contributed $7.9 million.Ī year ago, the state was experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases and both casinos were operating way below its capacities. For Foxwoods Resort Casino, slot-machine revenue was up 21.5%, keeping $31.7 million.
For October 2021, Mohegan Sun reported a rise in slot-machine revenue of up to 23.6% in a year-over-year comparison, keeping $44.3 million. The return to normal in the southeastern Connecticut casino business and the new sports betting market have made an impact in the area’s casinos.
