Balmy weather could have had something to do with a year-over-year decline in southeastern Connecticut casinos’ slots revenue last month, Mohegan Sun’s top executive said Wednesday.

Mohegan Sun reported it “won,” or kept, $41.3 million in slots revenue in October, down 6.8% over the $44.3 million it kept the same month the previous year. Foxwoods Resort Casino experienced an 11.5% drop-off, reporting its slots win totaled $28 million last month, down from $31.7 million in October 2021.

Jeff Hamilton, Mohegan Sun’s president and general manager, said the good October weather, particularly on weekends, could have diverted would-be casino-goers to other activities. He also noted the casino had an especially strong entertainment lineup in October 2021, when it celebrated its 25th anniversary, making comparisons with this October difficult.
