November slot revenue at Foxwoods declines14 December 2012MASHANTUCKET, Connecticut -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Slot revenues for the month of November at Foxwoods Resort Casino remained virtually unchanged from the previous month, but at $42.9 million the revenues were 10.2 percent lower than the same period a year ago. The Casino’s handle for November this year was $521.0 million, a decline of 8.4 percent from November 2011. The Super Storm-weakened regional economy adversely impacted results.

The holiday season gets off to a festive start tonight as Mannheim Steamroller performs its signature Christmas concert at the MGM Grand Theater. Sunday (16th), the Resort holds its annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and plays host to Santa Claus, who will sit for photos with the kids from 11 am to 3 pm.
