Foxwoods Resort Casino Records Notable $33.7 Million from Slot Machine Winnings in July 2025
Foxwoods Resort Casino Continues to Boost Connecticut's Economy
Foxwoods Resort Casino, a prominent land-based casino destination in the United States, is celebrating its 33rd anniversary this year while simultaneously undergoing growth and transformation[1]. The casino has been a crucial economic partner for Connecticut, contributing over $4.8 billion from slot revenues directly to the state's budget since 1993[1].
The revenue sharing agreement, which started in 1993, has marked over three decades of financial contributions to the state's budget. Recently, Foxwoods reported a slot revenue of $33.7 million for July 2025, resulting in a payment of $8.4 million to the state's budget fund[1]. Similarly, the June 2025 slot revenue amounted to $30.7 million, generating a payment of $7.7 million to the state[1].
Slot machine revenue, a major source of tribal casino income within Connecticut, forms the basis of these payments. However, the state has faced challenges managing local municipal aid despite overall growing state coffers, partly impacted by how these revenues are distributed across towns and cities[2].
Foxwoods is not resting on its laurels and continues to invest in property upgrades, entertainment, and dining to maintain its status as a leading destination. The Great Cedar Hotel rooms have undergone renovations, providing guests with modernized accommodations[1]. The Bedford by Martha Stewart, a celebrity chef's signature restaurant, has also opened at Foxwoods Resort Casino[1].
Moreover, a new Poker Room has been established at Fox Tower, enhancing Foxwoods' standing as a leading destination for poker enthusiasts. The casino's latest announcements highlighted new property enhancements and guest experiences, marking the anniversary in style[1].
