    Casino slots revenues down slightly in June

    Southeastern Connecticut’s tribal casinos have reported their slot-machine revenues declined in June compared to the same month the previous year.

    Mohegan Sun “won,” or kept, $39.8 million in slots revenue after paying out prizes last month, 2.7% less than the $40.9 million it kept in June 2021, according to data posted online by the state Department of Consumer Protection’s Gaming Division.

    Foxwoods Resort Casino kept $27.1 million in June, down 7.7% from the $29.4 million it kept the previous June.

    The casinos contributed 25% of their slots winnings to the state, with Mohegan Sun remitting nearly $10 million and Foxwoods paying $6.7 million.

    Also in June, Mohegan Sun generated $6.5 million in gross online casino gaming revenue and paid the state 18%, or $1.2 million. Foxwoods generated $9.8 million, nearly $1.8 million of which went to the state.

    Mohegan Sun posted $2.3 million in gross online sports betting revenue compared to Foxwoods’ $1.7 million and the Connecticut Lottery Corp.’s $316,193. Each paid 13.75% of their winnings to the state, with the combined total coming to $597,781.

    The lottery also paid the state $71,672 of the $521,253 it generated in gross sports betting revenue at its retail locations.

    The lottery reported last week that it returned $406 million in profits to the state in the 2022 fiscal year that ended June 30, the second-highest annual total in its 50-year history. Lottery sales totaled $1.45 billion in the fiscal year.

    Fiscal-year totals for casino revenues and payments to the state were not readily available Monday.
