Foxwoods is an enormous casino resort located in Ledyard, Connecticut. It is the largest casino in North America, and for a while was the largest casino on the planet. It could be described as a small city under a single roof. Foxwoods offers something for everyone.History
The tribe behind Foxwoods is the Mashantucket Pequots. In the early 1600s the tribe had approximately 8,000 members, but the Pequot War from 1636 to 1638 nearly wiped out the entire tribe. In 1973, the only Pequot member still living in the area died. Tribal members who were not living on the reservation began moving back to reclaim the land, and the tribe was granted federal recognition in 1983.
The Mashantucket Pequot Bingo Hall opened on July 5, 1986. Growing success at the bingo operation eventually led to the construction and opening of the Foxwoods casino, with table games, in 1992. Expansions continued, slot machines were added in 1993, and a poker room in 1995. In 2008 the MGM Grand at Foxwoods was opened.
Today, Foxwoods employs 10,000 people and occupies 4.7 million square feet. By comparison, the Pentagon occupies 3.7 million square feet. According to their website, an average of 40,000 people visit Foxwoods every day.Gambling
Gambling options at the property include 6,300 slot machines, 350 table games, a 4,000-seat bingo hall, a keno lounge, and a race book. Connecticut gaming reports indicate that Foxwoods had approximately 8,300 slot machines in the second half of 2008, but this number has since dropped to around 6,300 in 2012, presumably because the space occupied by slot machines has been replaced with table games.
Foxwoods and nearby Mohegan Sun both pay 25% of their slot machine revenue to the state of Connecticut. The agreement between the tribes and the state is that if any other casinos are opened within Connecticut borders, the 25% slot revenue payments will cease. Since that is unlikely to happen, both casinos must continue to share their slot revenue with the state. However, in struggling times, it is no surprise to see the number of slot machines decrease and be replaced with table games, because the tribes keep 100% of table game profits. This explains why 2000 of Foxwoods’ slot machines have disappeared, and why the casino is not afraid to replace slots with tables.Casinos
Foxwoods has several individually-named casinos throughout the property, which are:
*MGM Grand at Foxwoods (slots and tables)
*Grand Pequot Casino (slots and tables) / Hampton Club (high-limit slots) / Club Newport International (high-limit tables)
*Great Cedar Casino (slots and tables)
*Festival Slots Casino (slots only)
*Rainmaker Casino (slots and tables) / Non-Smoking Slots (slots only)
*Stargazer Casino (invitation-only high-limit casino on the 25th floor of the Grand Pequot tower)Player’s Club
The player’s club currently awards 1 point for every $150 wagered on slots, and 1 point for every $340 wagered on video poker. Table games earn points, but the formula is not disclosed. 1 point is worth $1 when spent at a restaurant or shop (or on bingo admissions), and 50¢ if redeemed as cash back.
The current player’s club structure has the following tiers:
*Wild (entry level)
*Crown
*King
*Ace
*Royal (highest level)
There are a few player’s club locations throughout the property:
*Across from the California Pizza Kitchen, outside the Great Cedar casino
*Near the buffet, outside the Festival Slots casino and the Rainmaker casino
*Inside the Grand Pequot casino, at the entrance/exit closest to the MGM walkway
*Inside the MGM Grand casino
*In the bingo lobbyBingo
One of Foxwoods’ main attractions is its bingo hall, which seats around 4,000 people, making it the largest bingo hall in the world. Two bingo sessions are run nearly every day of the year. The bingo hall is actually two and a half bingo halls. The main room seats about 3,600 and is divided by an ’invisible wall’ into non-smoking and smoking sections. Normally an ’invisible wall’ does nothing to keep smoke away from the non-smoking section, but the design at Foxwoods is intelligent: the air current is directed towards the smoking section, which keeps smoke away from the non-smoking section.
At the back of the main room is the smoking video bingo room, which has 90 video bingo terminals. Even though the main hall is half smoking and half non-smoking, there is also a large non-smoking room with regular tables, 41 video terminals, and 100 video terminals which have a slot machine beside them so that people can play slots while they play bingo. These slots are muted and make no sound other than internal clicking. When opening a door to the non-smoking room from inside the main bingo room, or from the Festival Slots Casino located outside it, a rush of air will hit you, ensuring that all smoke stays out of the non- smoking room.
The layout of the bingo rooms at Foxwoods resembles this:
In the main bingo room there are 4 giant monitors (one in the center of each side), 24 camera monitors, 14 bonanza bingo boards, and 11 regular bingo boards. In the smoking video bingo room there are 3 camera monitors, 1 bonanza bingo board, and 1 regular bingo board. In the non-smoking bingo room there are 13 camera monitors, 6 bonanza bingo boards, and 6 regular bingo boards. The bonanza boards have a blue background and say ’BONANZA’ vertically (to the left of the numbers) instead of ’BINGO.’ The boards with a black background are the regular boards. There are also 2 keno boards in the main room and 2 keno boards in the non-smoking room.
You can play paper bingo, video bingo, or both. If playing video bingo, you must buy at least two admission packages, and you can play at a video terminal or you can use a video tablet. If you play at a terminal, you must sit in either the smoking video bingo room or the non-smoking room where the terminals are located. Here is a picture of a video bingo terminal screen:
The video terminals let you select a theme from choices such as classic, beach, winter, autumn, technology, and others. The picture above is displaying the ’Technology’ theme. You can also change your daub style, and there is an option to hide your card’s numbers. In the game above I had it set to hide my numbers, which is why there are question marks in each square on the card in the lower left. Here is another picture of a video terminal using the ’Marine’ theme where the best card was one number away from bingo:
If you use a video tablet, you can basically sit anywhere. To acquire a video tablet you must give your player’s card and driver’s license (or other form of ID) as collateral, and will get them back when you return the tablet at the end of the session. Here is a not-so-great picture of a video tablet using the 4-card view (there was no way to photograph it without the overhead lights reflecting in it):
Comp points (1 point = $1) can be used to purchase up to two bingo admission packages. If you paid cash (or used a credit or debit card) for your bingo admissions, you can get comp points for that. Keep the ticket(s) and receipt with you after the session is done. Head to a player’s club location and give the representative your player card and bingo admission ticket(s), as well as your receipt if you played video bingo (a receipt is required if you hand them more than 2 admission tickets). I think there is a maximum of 4 admissions that can be redeemed for comps at the same time, even if you bought five admissions (four on a video terminal and one paper admission). You will be given 10% of the admission price of each ticket back in the form of comp points, which will become available at 6:00 the following morning.
Weekday and weeknight sessions are typically $10 or $15 per admission with regular games paying $300, $500 or $700. Saturday and Sunday sessions draw the biggest crowds, especially the morning sessions, and have the largest admission prices and prizes. The weekend morning sessions will usually have at least a $20 admission with regular game prizes of $1199. A $40 admission will have regular game prizes of $3000; a $50 admission will have regular game prizes of $3500, and a $100 admission will have regular game prizes of $7,000. The ’Octoberfest’ session costs $250 per admission and pays $15,000 for each regular game. The largest session is the annual ’Firecracker Bingo’ which typically occurs on the first Saturday of July. This session costs $500 per admission and pays $20,000 for each regular game. The Firecracker Bingo session is a simultaneous celebration of July 4th, America’s Independence Day, and July 5th, the anniversary of the opening date of the bingo hall which begat Foxwoods.
Each session has a ’Super Jackpot’ game played near the end of the session. For lower-priced admissions, this game offers a large prize for filling a card within 48 numbers, and a consolation prize otherwise. Higher-priced admissions have no 48-number restriction, and a second-chance prize for a smaller prize than the primary prize. At the $500 Firecracker Bingo the primary prize is $1,000,000. I attended the 2009 Firecracker Bingo, and there was a single winner who won the $1 million by herself. In the 2012 session there were 4 winners who split the $1 million prize.
A typical admission package consists of 9 cards for the regular games, 6 cards for the earlybird games, a ’U-Pick-Em’ card (where you choose the numbers yourself on an 8-number card, pictured on the right), and a single Bonanza card. Some sessions are ’Mystery Envelope’ sessions where each admission also includes an envelope that typically contains a single card for a free game not printed on the schedule, player club reward points, a food coupon, and a ticket for a free keno bet. One of these envelopes will contain a ticket for a free wheel spin (more on that later), at least one will contain a ticket for an instant-win cash prize, and at least one will contain a ’VIP’ ticket. The first number drawn for the first regular game is the ’VIP’ number, and every time it is drawn during regular games (including the first game) throughout the session, regardless of whether the number is needed for that game, anyone holding a VIP coupon will receive a cash prize (usually $20, possibly more on higher-priced sessions). Sessions with an admission price of $50 or more have 12 cards per admission package instead of the standard 9.
Be aware that the numbers have about an 8-second timer at Foxwoods, which is faster than most local bingo venues. While I would normally play 24 cards at a local bingo, the most cards I can comfortably handle at Foxwoods is 18, particularly because of the ’Triple Bingo’ games which can become troublesome when you get close in multiple ways on multiple cards.
Two of the special games are worth mentioning. The last special game played before intermission is the ’Money Machine’ game. It is a 2-pattern game, and the winner of the second pattern will go up on the stage and have 60 seconds inside the ’Money Machine.’ It resembles an old-fashioned phone booth with money flying around inside it; the goal is to grab as much cash as possible and slide it through a slot to the worker on the outside. Below is a picture of the Money Machine empty (left) and while someone was inside it (right). I apologize for the blurriness of the second image; it is difficult to take good pictures inside the bingo hall without getting caught, because taking pictures is not permitted. In the image on the right, the player who won the second pattern of the game is inside the booth with money flying around him/her. The worker on the outside is pulling out whatever money the player can pass through the slot. Whatever the worker pulls out is added to the base prize that the player already won:Foxwoods Birthday Deals
I have never entered the ’Money Machine,’ but on my recent visit I overheard multiple people describing the best strategy to use inside it: Place your left arm vertically along the bar in the corner to left of the worker (from your perspective inside the booth). This will help catch several bills and prevent them from continuing to fly around you. Scoop these bills with your other hand, fold the stack in half, and slide the bills through the slot to the worker on the outside. Repeat this process until you run out of time. The workers even appear to describe this strategy to the winning player before he or she enters the booth. The slot that you must slide the bills through is about a quarter of an inch tall. The worker on the outside generally pulls the money out as fast as possible, as soon as he or she can grip it. The average amount withdrawn from the money machine is usually between $150 and $400.
The other special game worthy of mention is the ’Money Wheel’ game, which is the first special game played after intermission, and is also a 2-part game. The winner of the second part will go on stage and spin a money wheel where the possible prizes are $500, $750, $1000, and $5000. Three of the $500 spots also award an additional spin. This is the wheel that someone who finds a ’free wheel spin’ coupon in their mystery envelope gets to spin. Here is a picture of the money wheel:
Here is an analysis of the Money Wheel:PrizeColorStopsProbabilityReturn$500Red400.769231$384.615385$500 plus spin againDark Blue30.057692$ 28.846154$750Green30.057692$ 43.269231$1,000Yellow50.096154$ 96.153846$5,000Light Blue10.019231$ 96.153846Totals521.000000$649.038462
The average initial spin is worth $649.04 by itself, and $688.78 after additional spins are factored in.
For both the Money Machine and Money Wheel games, if there are multiple winners, they will all go to the stage and draw from a deck of cards. The person who draws the highest card will enter the money machine or spin the money wheel on behalf of all of the winners. Note that whatever is taken from the money machine or spun on the wheel is added to the base prize, and the total amount is split among the winners. For example, if there are four winners, the base prize was $500, and the wheel spin lands on $500, then each winner gets ($500 + $500) / 4 = $250.
If you have never played bingo at Foxwoods before, the following advice will be helpful:
*You do not have a valid bingo unless you have the last number called. This means two things: (1) If you are one number away and see the number you need in the monitor, do not call bingo because you do not yet have bingo. The number has to be called by the caller before you can bingo on it. (2) If you have a bingo but do not realize it until after the next number has been called, your bingo will not be honored. At a recent session someone missed out on a $7,000 prize that they would have won by themselves had they called bingo as soon as they got it.
*If you call bingo, make yourself heard. Don’t call bingo softly from the opposite side of the room as the caller and expect to be heard. When you bingo, hold your paper card(s) in the air and keep them there until a floor worker arrives to verify your bingo. If you are only playing video bingo and have no paper cards to hold in the air, hold up the game schedule or some other piece of paper instead. Raising your hand is not enough, because people are raising their hands frequently (sometimes with money in them) to indicate that they wish to buy additional cards from a floor worker. If you have a bingo, you need to stand out from all of the people who have their hand in the air, so hold your winning bingo card (or some other piece of paper) in the air.
*If you are not playing the Quickie games, do not go up and use a soda fountain during one. The callers announce this before each Quickie game. If you ignore this advice, prepare to be yelled at by the players sitting right near the soda station.
*The floor workers are there to sell bingo cards and to verify winning bingos. They cannot play your cards for you if you need to go the bathroom, for example. They also cannot call bingo for you either.
*It is customary to tip the floor worker who verifies your bingo and pays you your winnings. A tip of 2% to 10% is typical; the larger your prize, the smaller the percentage.
*Bring a pen. Some people also bring tape or glue sticks to keep multiple sheets of cards together. Also, while not a necessity, you may find it helpful to bring a staple remover with you as well. This is because each admission package has two staples in it: the Bonanza and U-Pick-Em cards are stapled to the book of earlybirds, and the book of earlybirds is stapled to the book of regular games. If you don’t remove the staples carefully, you might mangle the series number of one or more cards, which is one of the items used to verify each bingo, and is where the staples are usually located. If the series number can’t be read, your bingo might not be honored.
A typical session has the following games:
*Bonanza: This is a coverall game with a progressive jackpot. Soon after doors open, the caller calls the first 40 numbers for the Bonanza game. These remain lit on the blue Bonanza boards throughout the rest of the session. You cover the first 40 numbers on your Bonanza card(s), and at the very end of the session, the game is played until someone fills a card. The jackpot is won by filling a card within 48 numbers, otherwise a consolation prize is won by the first person to bingo. The last time I left, the Bonanza jackpot was $54,500. It is not uncommon to still need 9 or more numbers after the first 40 have been called, making it impossible to win the jackpot on such a card. Some people purchase several extra Bonanza cards but only keep those which have the most numbers covered. (You would need 554,101 Bonanza cards to have a 50% chance of winning or splitting the jackpot, so don’t plan on winning it.) Foxwoods used to allow you to buy Bonanza cards on your video terminal, but no longer does. Only paper Bonanza cards are offered now.
*Warm-ups: these are small, paper-only games that are played before the action gets started. Each ’set’ of warm-ups consists of five games, all of which can usually be won by getting a straight line or the four corners. Prizes are often only $50, and I’ve seen a $50 prize be s

The worker on the outside generally pulls the money out as fast as possible, as soon as he or she can grip it. The average amount withdrawn from the money machine is usually between $150 and $400.
The other special game worthy of mention is the ’Money Wheel’ game, which is the first special game played after intermission, and is also a 2-part game. The winner of the second part will go on stage and spin a money wheel where the possible prizes are $500, $750, $1000, and $5000. Three of the $500 spots also award an additional spin. This is the wheel that someone who finds a ’free wheel spin’ coupon in their mystery envelope gets to spin. Here is a picture of the money wheel:

The average initial spin is worth $649.04 by itself, and $688.78 after additional spins are factored in.
For both the Money Machine and Money Wheel games, if there are multiple winners, they will all go to the stage and draw from a deck of cards. The person who draws the highest card will enter the money machine or spin the money wheel on behalf of all of the winners. Note that whatever is taken from the money machine or spun on the wheel is added to the base prize, and the total amount is split among the winners. For example, if there are four winners, the base prize was $500, and the wheel spin lands on $500, then each winner gets ($500 + $500) / 4 = $250.
If you have never played bingo at Foxwoods before, the following advice will be helpful:
*You do not have a valid bingo unless you have the last number called. This means two things: (1) If you are one number away and see the number you need in the monitor, do not call bingo because you do not yet have bingo. The number has to be called by the caller before you can bingo on it. (2) If you have a bingo but do not realize it until after the next number has been called, your bingo will not be honored. At a recent session someone missed out on a $7,000 prize that they would have won by themselves had they called bingo as soon as they got it.
*If you call bingo, make yourself heard. Don’t call bingo softly from the opposite side of the room as the caller and expect to be heard. When you bingo, hold your paper card(s) in the air and keep them there until a floor worker arrives to verify your bingo. If you are only playing video bingo and have no paper cards to hold in the air, hold up the game schedule or some other piece of paper instead. Raising your hand is not enough, because people are raising their hands frequently (sometimes with money in them) to indicate that they wish to buy additional cards from a floor worker. If you have a bingo, you need to stand out from all of the people who have their hand in the air, so hold your winning bingo card (or some other piece of paper) in the air.
*If you are not playing the Quickie games, do not go up and use a soda fountain during one. The callers announce this before each Quickie game. If you ignore this advice, prepare to be yelled at by the players sitting right near the soda station.
*The floor workers are there to sell bingo cards and to verify winning bingos. They cannot play your cards for you if you need to go the bathroom, for example. They also cannot call bingo for you either.
*It is customary to tip the floor worker who verifies your bingo and pays you your winnings. A tip of 2% to 10% is typical; the larger your prize, the smaller the percentage.
*Bring a pen. Some people also bring tape or glue sticks to keep multiple sheets of cards together. Also, while not a necessity, you may find it helpful to bring a staple remover with you as well. This is because each admission package has two staples in it: the Bonanza and U-Pick-Em cards are stapled to the book of earlybirds, and the book of earlybirds is stapled to the book of regular games. If you don’t remove the staples carefully, you might mangle the series number of one or more cards, which is one of the items used to verify each bingo, and is where the staples are usually located. If the series number can’t be read, your bingo might not be honored.
A typical session has the following games:
*Bonanza: This is a coverall game with a progressive jackpot. Soon after doors open, the caller calls the first 40 numbers for the Bonanza game. These remain lit on the blue Bonanza boards throughout the rest of the session. You cover the first 40 numbers on your Bonanza card(s), and at the very end of the session, the game is played until someone fills a card. The jackpot is won by filling a card within 48 numbers, otherwise a consolation prize is won by the first person to bingo. The last time I left, the Bonanza jackpot was $54,500. It is not uncommon to still need 9 or more numbers after the first 40 have been called, making it impossible to win the jackpot on such a card. Some people purchase several extra Bonanza cards but only keep those which have the most numbers covered. (You would need 554,101 Bonanza cards to have a 50% chance of winning or splitting the jackpot, so don’t plan on winning it.) Foxwoods used to allow you to buy Bonanza cards on your video terminal, but no longer does. Only paper Bonanza cards are offered now.
*Warm-ups: these are small, paper-only games that are played before the action gets started. Each ’set’ of warm-ups consists of five games, all of which can usually be won by getting a straight line or the four corners. Prizes are often only $50, and I’ve seen a $50 prize be s
