‘Under existing agreements, the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes have exclusive rights to offer gaming in the state.’

Mashantucket is Foxwoods and Mohegan is Mohegan Sun.

AAM they’re kind of a big deal...

Mohegan Sun's Connecticut operations netted $1.08 billion in revenue in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, a year-over-year increase of nearly 5.7 percent, the parent company's annual report shows.
Foxwoods Resort Casino’s net revenues in the same period totaled $848.1 million, a 1.2 percent decline over the previous year.
The casinos posted their reports online late last month.
Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, also known as the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, posted its report on the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The report shows that while net revenue declined at Mohegan Sun Pocono, the company’s casino in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., the company’s overall revenues totaled $1.38 billion, a 3.3 percent increase over the previous year.
The $1.08 billion figure for Mohegan Sun’s Connecticut operations includes revenues generated by Mohegan Sun, the Mohegan Tribe’s Uncasville casino; the Connecticut Sun WNBA franchise; the Mohegan Sun Golf Club in Baltic; and the New England Black Wolves franchise in the National Lacrosse League.
