Mohegan Sun also took about $80.1 million in slot revenue in July. The casinos each contributed $20 million, in revenue to the state. Around 7,417 slot machines were in play each day at Foxwoods. Foxwoods is run by Mashantucket Pequots, compared to the 6,205 at Mohegan Sun, run by the Mohegan tribe.
