“From our modest bingo beginnings in 1986 to the impressive, full sweep of gaming options now available at Foxwoods, we are excited to announce yet another amenity that will entice guests from near and far to visit,” Jason Guyot, Foxwoods’ president and chief executive officer, said in a statement released near the end of the business day. Since February, when Foxwoods celebrated its 30th anniversary, the casino has been announcing projects of varying magnitude on a monthly basis. Word of the $85 million in proposed improvements comes on the heels of the casino’s July opening of a $7 million high stakes bingo hall and the casino-owning Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s announcement in February that Great Wolf Resorts will develop an indoor water park adjacent to Foxwoods. Mashantucket ― Doubling down on its bread and butter ― slot machines and table games ― Foxwoods Resort Casino announced Wednesday it plans to open 50,000 square feet of new gaming space next year as well as a celebrity chef-owned restaurant.
