I'm hitting Foxwoods next week from the 24th through the 27th while the WPT is in town. I'll be playing the $600 tourney on the 25th and cash games other times.

I can't stay for the whole series because I have work to do for the PokerNations venture. But I'm looking forward to enjoying my short stint there.

If anyone else will be around, maybe we can do dinner.

MONEY FOR STATE IN JEOPARDY?
Mohegans Fighting Proposed Smoking Ban

The Mohegan Indian tribe is threatening to withhold as much as $200 million in slot machine payments annually if the state legislature bans smoking at casinos, a potential major blow to the state budget.

In strongly worded letters to Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, tribal officials said Wednesday that a pending bill to ban smoking at the state's two casinos is unconstitutional and would violate the compact between the Mohegan Tribe and the state

Largest Indian Casino Struggling With Debt
(Foxwoods Resort Casino)

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. -- The world’s largest Indian gaming casino is juggling a known debt of $1.4 billion.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation has a loan payment due Tuesday and members of the tribe met Monday to discuss the situation.

Foxwoods Resort Casino is one of the largest casino destinations in the world and is owned by the Mahantucket Pequot Tribe and partners with MGM in the MGM Grand Casino on the sprawling reservation in Ledyard.

The downturn in the economy has had a tremendous impact on the gaming industry. In July, the casino said slot revenue dropped 13 percent compared to a year ago.

Mashantucket Pequots Put Council Chairman On Administrative Leave
The Mashantucket Pequots have forced their council chairman into an administrative leave amid financial and management turmoil at the tribe's Foxwoods Resort Casino.

The tribal council that oversees the parent organization of Foxwoods and the MGM Grand at Foxwoods did not say why it placed Michael Thomas on leave. The move comes as Foxwoods continues to see declines in slot machine revenue and less than a week after The New London Day reported that a "senior adviser" to the tribe said the tribe was trying to renegotiate $2.3 billion in debt and was at risk of defaulting on the terms of a $700 million line of credit.

Everything is certainly changing and not for the better in CT. I went to the University of Hartford and was a regular at Foxwoods. It is a bit crowded at times but I always preferred it instead of Mohegan Sun. Don't know why just did.
