Connecticut has two casino properties, both of which rank among the largest resort casinos in the United States. The state’s gaming industry is built entirely on tribal sovereignty, with the Mohegan Tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation holding federally recognized gaming rights that predate state commercial gambling legislation. For a state of just under four million people, the scale of Connecticut’s two casinos is remarkable — together they draw tens of millions of visitors per year and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue sharing with the state.
Gambling history in Connecticut stretches back decades before the tribal casino era. The state legalized charitable bingo in 1939 and expanded to permit raffles and bazaars in 1955. Off-track betting followed in later decades. The pivotal shift came in 1986 when the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation opened a bingo hall on their reservation in Ledyard after receiving federal tribal recognition. Following the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, which established the federal framework for tribal gaming, the Mashantucket Pequots negotiated a compact with Connecticut to expand into full casino gaming. Foxwoods opened its first full casino in 1992.
The Mohegan Tribe received federal recognition in 1994, and their gaming compact with the state was finalized shortly after. Mohegan Sun opened in October 1996. Both tribes negotiate exclusivity arrangements with Connecticut in exchange for revenue sharing — originally 25 percent of slot revenue directed to the state, a formula that has been renegotiated over subsequent decades.
The state’s 2021 gaming legislation — Public Act 21-23, signed by Governor Ned Lamont — represented the most significant update to Connecticut’s gambling framework in a generation. The new law legalized online casino gaming and online sports wagering, extended and modified the tribal compacts, and authorized a third casino location in East Windsor under a joint venture of both tribes (the Tribal Winds Casino project, which remains on hold under a 10-year moratorium agreed to as part of the 2021 deal).
Foxwoods Resort Casino, located on the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation in Ledyard, is one of the largest casino resorts in North America. The property covers approximately 9 million square feet of total resort space, with a gaming floor of roughly 340,000 square feet. The casino offers more than 5,500 slot machines and over 250 table games including blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker.
Three hotel towers — the Grand Pequot Tower (AAA Four Diamond), the Great Cedar Hotel, and the Fox Tower — provide more than 1,900 hotel rooms and suites on site. Dining encompasses over 30 restaurants and dining concepts, including restaurants helmed by Gordon Ramsay, Masaharu Morimoto, and Martha Stewart. Additional resort amenities include Tanger Outlets shopping, a bowling alley, a Topgolf suite, a zipline attraction, a go-kart track, a spa, an escape room, an arcade, a museum of Pequot history, and more than 175,000 square feet of meeting and convention space.
The Fox Theater hosts concerts, comedy shows, and live entertainment events year-round. Foxwoods also operates a full-service spa and a golf course on the surrounding property.
Foxwoods is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, a federally recognized sovereign nation. The casino is located at 350 Trolley Line Boulevard in Mashantucket (a village within Ledyard), accessible from I-95 or Route 2.
Mohegan Sun, located in Uncasville on the Mohegan Tribe’s sovereign reservation along the Thames River, is the second-largest casino in the United States by gaming square footage, with 342,000 square feet of gaming space spread across two casino floors. The Casino of the Earth is the main floor, spanning 180,000 square feet and featuring more than 5,000 slot machines, 280 table games, a dedicated Race Book, a poker room, and a 4,000-seat bingo hall — the largest in the northeastern United States. The Casino of the Sky spans an additional 162,000 square feet with premium slot sections and high-limit pit areas.
Three hotel towers — including the 34-story Sky Tower with 1,200 rooms and the Earth Tower with 366 rooms — provide more than 1,500 rooms and suites on site. More than 40 dining venues range from casual food court outlets to signature restaurants including Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse, Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain, and SolToro Tequila Grille. The 20,000-square-foot Mandara Spa offers Balinese-inspired treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, and salon services.
The 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena hosts concerts by major national touring artists, WNBA Connecticut Sun home games, boxing championship events, and has served as the site of the Miss USA pageant. The Wolf Den is a smaller, free-admission entertainment venue inside the casino that hosts live music nightly.

Connecticut is among a small number of U.S. states with fully licensed and regulated online casino gaming. Public Act 21-23, enacted in May 2021 and effective October 19, 2021, legalized both online casino gaming and online sports wagering for players physically located within Connecticut. The state operates a closed two-operator model tied directly to its tribal gaming compacts.
The state operates a closed two-operator model: one licensed online casino is the authorized internet gaming partner of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation (Foxwoods), and the other is the authorized partner of the Mohegan Tribe (Mohegan Sun). Both platforms offer slots, table games, and live dealer games to Connecticut residents aged 21 and older. Geolocation verification confirms that players are within state lines before each session. For the current approved operator list, see the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection website.
Regulatory oversight rests with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), which certifies gaming software, protects player data, enforces responsible gambling requirements, and monitors operator compliance. The state collects an 18 percent tax on gross gaming revenue from online casino operators, with a scheduled increase to 20 percent in October 2026 as the market enters its fifth year.
All casino gaming in Connecticut operates under tribal authority governed by compacts negotiated between the tribes and the State of Connecticut under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). There are no licensed commercial casinos in Connecticut. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection and the Connecticut Division of Special Revenue oversee compliance, responsible gaming programs, and revenue reporting.
