Foxwoods Casino is a New England icon that has added more than $4 billion to the state’s coffers. The casino’s interior design is eclectic and dynamic. The main casino area draws its inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architectural styles, while other areas feature geometric forms and dazzling collages of color reminiscent of Native American themes. The casino’s largest room is its Bingo Hall/Multi-Purpose Room, which has hosted championship boxing and concerts as well as high stakes bingo.
The casino’s Roulette table minimums are usually $10 or $25, but you can also find lower-cost tables with five-dollar minimums. Most roulette wheels are American style with one zero, and the casino has no “en prison” rule, unlike some casinos. Slot machines at Foxwoods return 91.5% of bets, and in the fiscal year ended in June 2008, the casino handled nearly $9 billion. The casino donates 25% of its slot revenue to the state of Connecticut. The casino has seven-hundred machines and video poker tables.
The Foxwoods tribe and its lenders were close to reaching an agreement on a debt settlement, although it will take a few months to finalize the deal. The casino’s $2.3 billion debt is expected to be cut in half to about $1.7 billion, and the interest rate will likely be reduced. The agreement also requires that the casino relocate a nearby Burlington Coat Factory so it can accommodate the casino’s expansion.
While you’re at the casino, you can relax in one of the hotel’s two spas. The Norwich Spa at Foxwoods has a whirlpool and sauna, and the G Salon and Spa offers facials, manicure/pedicures, and massage services. If you’re a gambler, you’ll love Foxwoods’ gambling experience. Just make sure to plan your stay at Foxwoods Casino to take advantage of its many amenities.
