Foxwoods Chief Resigns Abruptly

Foxwoods Chief Resigns Abruptly
The head of Foxwoods Resort Casino has stepped down just 18 months into the job, creating further uncertainty around the U.S.'s largest gambling property as it negotiates with lenders to restructure debt.

Michael Speller, the president of the Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprises, resigned "effective immediately," the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council disclosed Monday. The tribe, based on an Indian reservation in Ledyard, Conn., uses gambling revenues to fund its government and make annual payments to tribe members.

Mr. Speller had taken the top job at Foxwoods in December 2008, just after a major expansion that added a new casino to the tribe's gaming empire, the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. That expansion boosted the tribe's liabilities.

Mohegan Sun to layoff more than 300 workers
September 14, 2010

HARTFORD (AP) -- The president and CEO of Mohegan Sun says the casino will be laying off more than 300 employees due to revenue declines during the recession.

Mitchell Etess, the casino's top officer, announced Tuesday that the layoff will affect 475 of the company's workers but 120 of them will be reassigned to other positions within the casino. The other 355 employees will be let go permanently.

Etess said after two years of using attrition to lower the casino's more than 9,000 workers, the Mohegan Tribal Council approved the layoffs Monday.

Etess said this is the first time the casino has had mass layoffs and all affected employees will be notified by Tuesday evening.

The president also said the casino plans to close one of its two buffet restaurants and use more third-party operators for its eateries.

I knew this was in the works at Foxwoods but what will they think of next.



Luxury bowling opening at Foxwoods Casino


Mashantucket, Conn. (WTNH) - When most people think of bowling a casino doesn't typically come to mind. But one Connecticut casino has added some "luxurious lanes" as an alternative to gambling.

Much of the new addition is still under construction but the luxury bowling alley is ready to go, and so are the high rollers behind Foxwoods’ latest venue.

Ed Kane heads Big Night Entertainment, which brings the High Rollers Luxury Lanes and Lounge to Foxwoods Casino. Bowling under chandeliers, it’s not your dad's bowling alley anymore.

“We really wanted to create a new category of that brand,” Kane explained. ”There's bowling and there's luxury bowling. There aren't a lot of these lanes that exist. We just thought people would appreciate it.”

Foxwoods is hoping to throw a strike with this added entertainment -- an alternative to gaming – that hasn't scored as high as it used to. Slot revenues are down and both casinos have decreased their work force by hundreds, most recently at Mohegan Sun.

“You're going to have to continue to reinvent yourself and continue to bring on new offerings and this is one of the ways to do that,” said Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Chairman Rodney Butler.

Diversifying to survive is the name of the game -- twenty lanes, six professional pool tables, a fifty-seat marble bar and a two-level lounge with a piano. And, you don't have to be a high roller to play there.

Hello

My husband and I had our first trip ever to a casino a few weeks ago. A friend of ours got us a room and tickets to Aerosmith at Mohegan Sun. Had the best time! Now, with our anniversary coming up in November, hubby wants to take 2 nights down at MS. So I went to book a room, and the prices were a bit ... lol. As much as I want to go, $449 for a Sat night ... wow. So I figured there must be a way to get a deal? So here I am, looking for any pointers or advice on a better room rate at Mohegan Sun? It would sure make our 12th anniversary special.

 

[BingoT]

Hi Mama4kids I get two free nights at Foxwoods each month per week if I want to go.Mon-Thurs
If you want to change it to Foxwoods
Thanks
~T~

 

[mama4kids]

Wow, that's really generous of you!! The problem is, it's hard enough to coerce family to watch our kiddos on weekends (lol), on weekdays I don't think I can get them to take time off work to do it. But I do appreciate the offer!

 

[BingoT]

Mama4kids if you ever change your mind let me know.
Thanks

State's Attorney: Gambling Ring Defrauded Casino
2 Appear In New London Superior Court

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. --
Members of an accused gambling ring have been charged with using tactics to defraud Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Investigators said the scope of the case may reach far beyond Connecticut.
New London court officials said up to $1 million in cash was taken by the group.
During Wednesday’s arraignment, a New London judge had to arrange for a Korean interpreter to be sworn in over the phone to arraign two of the four suspects.
Two others were indicted by Atlantic City authorities.
Federal agents also were in court Wednesday, and said the case could be the tip of the iceberg, stretching to casinos across the country and abroad.
Gy Young Su, 60, of Korea, appeared in court Wednesday, and according to the State’s Attorney’s Office, is considered to be the leader in an organized effort to defraud Foxwoods Resort Casino of up to $1 million.
Court authorities said Foxwoods is providing video surveillance evidence, showing Su and other associates using an electronic device slipped up a sleeve in playing a table game called Minibacc.
The state’s attorney said the scheme was to defraud the casino of $750,000 to $1 million. Su, who has no local ties, had his bond set at $500,000.
Also arraigned Wednesday was 34-year-old Wookyung Kim, also from Korea. Authorities said Kim has numerous prior felony gaming charges and that she allegedly took nearly $84,000 from Foxwoods.
The assistant state’s attorney said the federal investigation is ongoing and that two others are being extradited to Atlantic City to face similar gaming theft charges there.
Because of the ongoing investigation, warrants in the case have been sealed.
The suspects are due back in court on Monday.

Illegal Chinese Immigrant Pleads Guilty In Casino'Bust-Out'Scheme

HARTFORD — An illegal Chinese immigrant pleaded guilty on Monday to running a "bust-out" scheme that enabled gamblers to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars by cashing out phony bank transfers at the state's two casinos.

Federal prosecutors said Zhao Guang Ming, a 34-year-old resident of Queens known as Mr. Zhang, admitted in court in Hartford that he defrauded an unspecified number of banks of more than $200,000 in the scheme, in which criminals repeatedly obtained fraudulent cash advances at casinos in Ledyard and Montville.

A federal law enforcement affidavit said that the powerful, overhead video surveillance system at the Foxwoods Resort Casino collected a key piece of evidence against Zhao. The system has such high resolution that authorities were able to read the screen on Zhao's mobile telephone device as he used the Internet to enter the information necessary to initiate a fraudulent bank transfer.

Hi BingoT,

I was rasied in CT and have gambled both at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.

I definitely prefer Mohegan Sun over Foxwoods. I find the staff at Mohegan Sun much more polite and personable and the comps very generous as compared to Foxwoods.

Kim

 

[BingoT]

Oh Kim I can say the same as you.
I use to know many members of the tribe at Foxwoods 22 years ago from the time they had a little bingo hall.
Today I know them but not like years back.
And I as a person that brings many people to them each year.
Mohegan Sun I can call them anytime & they are great people.
~T~
Ps. If you ever plan a trip to come up let me know.
Thanks

 

[BingoT]

I am thinking on doing this.
That's if my work ok's it
Just think seeing the T on Survivor

13 Killed In Tour Bus Accident In The Bronx
Bus Left Mohegan Sun Casino Earlier In The Morning

BRONX, N.Y. -- Thirteen people died Saturday when a bus returning to New York City from a casino overturned on a highway and was sliced in half by the support pole for a large sign.
The driver, who survived, told police he lost control while trying to evade a swerving tractor trailer. Police began a hunt for the truck, which did not stop after the crash, New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. It was unclear whether the two vehicles made contact, he said.
The early morning wreck left a scene of carnage and closed the southbound side of Interstate-95 for hours while emergency workers attended to critically injured survivors and removed bodies.
The bus, operated by the charter company World Wide Tours, was headed to Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood carrying a full load of passengers returning from the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Conn.
According to the driver, the accident was triggered by a close encounter with a tractor trailer as the two vehicles were entering the city at 5:35 a.m. The bus was in one lane. The truck was in the lane to its left.
"The truck either starts to swerve or perhaps even hits the bus," Kelly said. He said both vehicles were moving at "a significant rate of speed."
As the bus took evasive action, it hit a guard rail, scraped along it for 300 feet, toppled and crashed into the support post for a highway sign indicating the exit for the Hutchinson Parkway.
The pole entered through the front window, then sheared the bus from front to back along the window line, cutting like a knife through the seating area and peeling the roof off all the way to the back tires.
Police and fire officials say the bus was carrying at least 31 passengers. A majority were hurled to the front of the bus by the sudden impact with the pole, fire chief Edward Kilduff said.
In addition to the fatalities, eight passengers were critically hurt, Kelly said. A total of 19 were treated at area hospitals. Several were in surgery later Saturday.
The wreck also closed the northbound side of the highway, but those lanes were moving again by mid-morning.
Limo driver Homer Martinez, 56, of Danbury, Conn. happened on the scene just moments after the wreck and saw other drivers sprinting from their cars to assist the injured. He said they were horrified by what they found.
"People were saying, 'Oh my God. Oh my God,' holding their hands on their heads," Martinez said. "I saw people telling other people not to go there, 'You don't want to see this."'
Firefighters and medics were on the scene quickly, running to the vehicle with bags and stretchers, he said.
"I see a lot of accidents. I've even seen accidents happen. But I've never seen anything like this," said Martinez.
Kelly said investigators had been given some numbers from the license plate of the tractor trailer, but hadn't identified or located a vehicle yet.
After the crash, firefighters took out seats and cut through the bus roof to reach a handful of passengers pinned in the wreckage. Kilduff called it "a very difficult operation."
Many of the passengers on the bus were residents of Manhattan's Chinatown. They ranged in age from 20 to 50, officials said.
Fifteen were being treated at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. A hospital spokeswoman, Barbara DeIorio, said some of the injuries were serious, but she had no immediate information on how many were gravely hurt. Another five patients were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital.
"Our heart goes out to the families," said First Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris.
According to a casino spokeswoman, they believe the bus was carrying a tour group that regularly came up to the casino.

Limit spreads on table games Bingo T.

Hi Bingo T.I would like to gamble at these 2 casinos, hopefully this summer.I need the betting spreads on all table games <including high stakes> that these casinos offer.

This will also help the many members that are viewing this thread too.

Min and Max bet per table. So an example would be say Baccarat Min $25-$5000Max.

It's nice to know these things ahead of time, because many casinos don't post this information online, or when you call up the B and M's, they don't always give you the right information.

Nobunaga

 

[BingoT]

They have nothing down on stone I was told.
But the pit boss said
$15 thousand max & as low as $5
They said if you got the money they got the table.
