Tribal casinos in Connecticut to reopen next week

Under new safety protocols, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will reopen to the public on June 1.

US.- Tribal-owned casinos in Connecticut will reopen to the public next week, despite facing a backlast from the state’s Governor.

Under new safety protocols, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will reopen to the public on June 1.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe say they have collaborated to ensure additional safety guidelines are in place.

They have also said that their policies are “consistent with or exceeding the State’s phased guidance and safety protocols.”

Both casinos are on sovereign land and not subject to the state government’s executive orders.

Both tribes agreed to close their properties back in March, and have followed the same timeline as other extensions to stay at home orders.
