There’s a new power player in Caribbean gaming: Foxwoods.

The Mashantucket, Conn-based casino giant has opened its first ever casino in the Caribbean at the Fairmont El San Juan resort in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

It’s a significant boost for an island who has had broad casino gaming for decades but largely failed to capitalize upon it.

Now things are different, with Foxwoods’ entry marketing the first major gaming brand to come to the island.

Foxwoods is a brand of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which also operates the primary Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, the largest casino in North America.
