Foxwoods’ Slot Machines Performing Well
 

Foxwoods Resort Casino has announced that they have just had their best October ever in slot machine revenue. Their slot machines brought in 4.3% more than they did last October. They have stepped up their marketing efforts in an attempt to get the slot machine increase out there. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation said they won $69.6 million of its $807 million handle.
 

“We had a strong marketing effort in October, and that drew large numbers of people to Foxwoods, as did the opening of our new California Pizza Kitchen,” Foxwoods President John O'Brien said. “We're pleased with the results and we think they bode well for the coming months.”
 

They also had several promotions that they were running which helped with the slot machine revenue as well.
 

Whereas on the other end, the Mohegan Sun saw their slot machine revenue drop 0.6%. They said they won $74.3 million, down from the $74.5 million a year ago. The handle was $885.5 million. Mitchell Etess, the slot machine casino’s president and CEO said that they also had one Saturday less than this time last year, which will hurt their slot machine revenue as well.
 

Foxwoods had 7,216 slot machines in play during the month on average; while Mohegan Sun ran 6,197 slot machines. Foxwoods said the daily win from the slot machines was $311.39 – up from $289.75 last year. Mohegan Sun saw $387.01 per slot machine, as opposed to $388.80 in last year’s slot machine numbers.
