The Foxwoods Casino was first established in 1986 by the Mashantucket Pequot Nation of Native Americans. However, it was not a casino. At first Foxwoods Casino Bingo Hall was the only gaming the facility offered visitors, though expansion came in 1992 and then 1993. Now a major success, the casino makes 200 million dollars a year on slot machines alone. While Connecticut as a state is rated 35 out of 46 gambling states with only 4 casinos in the whole state, this is relative to the small size of The Constitution State.
