Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes saw declines in slot machine revenues for the month of November.
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation saw $35.5 million in slot revenue at the Foxwoods Resort Casino. That's 6.9 percent down from November 2015.
The Mohegan Tribe saw $47.3 million at the Mohegan Sun, The New London Day reported. That represented a slight decline from November 2015.
The two tribes are working together to open a new casino in the state. But they have yet to choose a host community.
The tribes say a new casinos is needed to address competition from neighboring Massachusetts. A $950 million commercial casino is going up just a few miles from the state border.
