Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes share up to 50 percent of gaming revenues with their members

The Mohegan Tribe, owners of Mohegan Sun, dedicates 40 to 50 percent for per capita payments. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, owners of Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods, dedicates 30 percent to per capita payments.

Both tribes submitted revenue application plans to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Mohegan plan was approved in July 2001 while the Mashantucket's updated plan was approved in January 2008.
