Foxwoods Q1 Gaming Revenue Climbs to $86.4M, Boosting State Coffers

Foxwoods Resort Casino delivered robust financial performance in the opening three months of 2026, with slot machine revenues totaling $86.4 million across January, February, and March. The Mashantucket property's strongest showing came in March, when slot revenue reached $30.6 million, marking a significant jump from February's $27.2 million.

The revenue surge reflects continued gaming demand at Connecticut's premier casino destination, a critical driver of state funding. Under the longstanding revenue-sharing agreement between the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the State of Connecticut, the casino's Q1 performance generated $21.6 million in direct payments to state coffers. March alone contributed $7.6 million to the state budget, while February yielded $6.8 million and January returned $7.2 million.

The first quarter's trajectory represents steady performance for the Ledyard-based gaming operation, which continues to draw regional visitors competing for gaming tables and slots. The consistent monthly contributions underscore Foxwoods' enduring importance to Connecticut's budget planning and the tribal nation's economic priorities. Gaming revenue remains a cornerstone of Connecticut's hospitality sector, supporting both direct state funding and broader economic activity across southeastern Connecticut.
