    Foxwoods' slots revenue up 3 percent in October, Mohegan Sun's down 6 percent

    Foxwoods Resort Casino posted a third straight month of year-over-year gains in slot-machine revenue last month, while Mohegan Sun’s string of four “up” months in a row came to an end, figures released Wednesday show.

    Mashantucket Pequot-owned Foxwoods reported that during October it kept $38.3 million in slots “win” after paying out prizes, a 3.4 percent increase over the $37.0 million it kept the previous October. Foxwoods’ “handle,” the total amount of wagers, amounted to $488.1 million last month, a 0.9 percent increase.

    Mohegan Sun, owned by the Mohegan Tribe, kept $47.6 million in slots revenue last month, 6.2 percent less than it kept in October 2016. Its handle of $584.6 million was down 3.6 percent.

    The casinos send 25 percent of their slots win to the state in accordance with revenue-sharing agreements. Foxwoods paid nearly $10 million in October while Mohegan Sun anted up $12.1 million.
