Connecticut tribes see best month for slot revenues in years


December 2011 was a good month for Connecticut's two tribal casinos.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation reported a $50.2 million "win" on its slot machines, an 11.3 percent increase from December 2010. It was the tribe's first month double-digit growth since April 2006.

The Mohegan Tribe reported a win of $57 million, a 6.7 percent increase from the year prior. It was the best return in five years.

“It’s another sign of more confidence. All things are heading in the right direction.” Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut President and CEO Tony Sheridan told The Norwich Bulletin.
