Legalized online gambling and sports betting, now marking their one-year anniversary, have delivered a revenue bump for the two casinos that lobbied for digital betting and the state that’s benefiting from a modest tax boost.
From October 2021 to August, the most recent period for which data are available, online gambling generated $96.2 million in revenue for Foxwoods Resort Casino and $80.6 million for Mohegan Sun, according to the state Department of Consumer Protection.
Sports betting produced an additional $84 million in revenue at the two casinos.
Online gambling and sports betting provided a nearly one-third revenue boost to the $562.6 million generated by the casinos’ slot machines from January to August.
