MASHANTUCKET, CT (May 15, 2021) – Foxwoods® Resort Casino is reporting slot revenue of $31.1 million for the month of April 2021. This results in an $8 million direct payment to the State of Connecticut in accordance with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s long-standing slot revenue contribution agreement. Since 1993, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation has deposited over $4 billion of Foxwoods’ slot revenue directly into the state’s budget fund.

Through the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s partnership with Hartford Healthcare, Foxwoods’ mega-vaccination site reached the milestone of distributing over 35,000 vaccines this April. Additionally, as part of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s commitment to keep communities safe, so far, approximately 70% of Foxwoods team members have been vaccinated. With the vaccine essential to reopening, Foxwoods has remained committed to vaccinating as many people as possible to protect the local community against the COVID-19 virus.

This month, Foxwoods is excited to share their two beloved theaters are getting all-new names. Starting in May, the Grand Theater will become the Premier Theater and the Fox Theater will become the Great Cedar Showroom. The rebrand is part of the resort’s strategic plan to enhance guest experience and streamline property logistics. To help streamline the onsite experience, tickets to upcoming shows and performances will list the location as the “Premier Theater, formerly Grand Theater” or “Great Cedar Showroom, formerly Fox Theater” for the next few months. Anyone who previously printed their tickets at home will have the former theater names on the tickets. However, the ticket will still permit entry to the show at the renamed theaters.

Also in May, Foxwoods is rolling out exciting enhancements to its award-winning Foxwoods Rewards loyalty program. With these updates, members can now earn more points and advance tiers faster than ever! Members will reach the next tier in record time with monthly Tier Credit Multiplier Days, and will earn more Foxwoods Rewards Points every time they play depending on Tier Status with Rewards Accelerator Bonuses. In addition, members can now earn points on hotel stays, redeem points for gas at the Pequot Outpost and at even more locations at the Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods.

Just in time for summer, Foxwoods is thrilled to announce the reopening of the Norwich Spa at Foxwoods on May 14, HighFlyer Zipline on May 15, and the Pequot Museum on May 19. Whether you prefer to soar into summer on the biggest zipline in Connecticut, immerse yourself in rich history or indulge in a day of relaxation, Foxwoods truly has something to make everyone’s summer one to remember.
