Introduction Up next is the second segment of the show on slot machine casino gambling. Here, I provide a brief overview of the current state of gambling in a U.S. state, territory, or the federal district emphasizing, by far, anything of interest to slot machine casino gamblers. Up next is Connecticut slot machine casino gambling in 2019. Here goes! Connecticut slot machine casino gambling consists of two tribal casinos. Also, two proposed casino projects are under consideration for Bridgeport and East Windsor. Connecticut’s tribal casinos have no theoretical payout limits, but return statistics are publicly available. Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Connecticut The minimum legal gambling age in Connecticut depends upon the gambling activity: • Land-Based Casinos: 21 • Poker Rooms: 21 • Bingo: 18 • Lottery: 18 • Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18 Pari-mutuel wagering has had a long history in Connecticut, including dog and horse racing tracks and the sport of jai alai. Since 2005, only Off-Track Betting (OTB) sites exist in Connecticut. Slot Machine Private Ownership in Connecticut ProfessorSlots.com Podcast Episode 70 Copyright 2019 Jon Friedl LLC Page 2 of 6 Advantage Plays How-To | Connecticut Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2019 Next up is a usually short statement about slot machine private ownership, which I have included in case you live in this U.S. state and are considering owning a slot machine. Here it is: In Connecticut, it is illegal to own a slot machine privately. Gaming Control Board in Connecticut Connecticut’s two tribal casinos have tribal gaming agencies, including enforcement, as outlined in their negotiated tribal-state gaming compacts. However, the state of Connecticut has its Gaming Division, which: • Provides oversight of gaming activities at tribal casinos. • Regulates sports betting at all OTB locations. Connecticut’s remaining state gaming control boards are the Charitable Games Section of the Gaming Division and the Connecticut Lottery Corporation. Connecticut’s two federally-recognized tribes are: 1. Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, the owners and operators of Foxwoods 2. Mohegan Tribe, owners and operators of Mohegan Sun. Through their Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment venture, the Mohegan Tribe has expanded its gaming interests to international levels. In 2019, they won the contract to operate two casinos near Niagara Falls for the Ontario Province of Canada. If completed, both tribes will operate a satellite casino proposed for East Windsor together, not located on either of their tribal reservations. Casinos in Connecticut In this section, I’ll discuss Connecticut gambling establishments. There are two American Indian tribal casinos in Connecticut. The largest casino in Connecticut is Mohegan Sun with 4,100 gaming machines and more than 300 table games in September 2019. The second-largest casino is Foxwoods Resort Casino with 3,435 gaming machines and over 250 table games in September 2019. ProfessorSlots.com Podcast Episode 70 Copyright 2019 Jon Friedl LLC Page 3 of 6 Advantage Plays How-To | Connecticut Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2019 The Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos compete, always striving to be better than the other. This ongoing competition is to the advantage of slots players as well as resulting in these two tribal casinos having a world-wide reputation. A proposed casino in East Windsor may, as reported by the Hartford Courant, “blunt the competitive threat” of the MGM Springfield in Massachusetts. This casino is a joint venture of the tribal owners and operators of Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, called MMCT Venture. A planned mid-2020 opening may get delayed. If the proposed MGM Bridgeport also opens, perhaps as early as 2022, it will become the second-largest casino in Connecticut. Expanded gaming in Connecticut, including state-wide sports betting, is at a something of a stalemate. While MMCT Venture has received federal approval for Tribal Winds Casino in East Windsor, negotiations with the state of Connecticut are ongoing. Non-Tribal Casinos in Connecticut There are no non-tribal casinos in Connecticut with slot machines. American Indian Casinos in Connecticut The two tribal casinos in Connecticut are: 1. Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, located 50 miles southeast of Hartford and 60 miles southwest of Providence, Rhode Island. 2. Mohegan Sun in the town of Montville, the east end of the area known as Uncasville, located 17 miles west of Foxwoods Casino. Other Gambling Establishments As an alternative to enjoying Connecticut slot machine casino gambling, consider exploring casino options in a nearby state.

Payout Returns in Connecticut Theoretical payout limits have not been set in either tribal-state compact for the tribes owning the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos. However, these gaming compacts require they report actual return statistics to the state of Connecticut. Each month, Connecticut’s Gaming Division provides these return statistics by casino, including casino hold% and player win%. Further, the American Casino Guide’s Connecticut entry has annual return statistics for each tribal casino by slot machine denomination. These “extra” return statistics are from the state of Connecticut’s Department of Special Revenue but are not generally available to the public. Database access requires special password-protected permission, which I have recently requested from the state. Summary of Connecticut Slots in 2019 In summary, Connecticut slot machine casino gambling consists of two American Indian tribal casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. Two proposed casinos, MGM Bridgeport and Tribal Winds in East Windsor, may open as soon as mid-2020. No theoretical payout limits are in the tribal-state gaming compacts with Connecticut’s two tribes. However, these compacts require Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods to report their return statistics to the state, where they are publicly available. Annual Progress in Connecticut Slot Machine Casino Gambling Over the last year, Foxwoods has reduced its slot machines by 1,302, from 4,907 to 3,435 gaming machines, in part due to its temporary closing of Festival Casino for renovations.

    Chapter 3: Pathological And Problem Gamblers In The United States The perception of increased pathological and problem gambling is currently driving interest and concern among policymakers, treatment professionals, industry officials, gambling researchers, and the public. Data describing the extent of pathological and problem gambling are useful for many purposes, including planning public health services and medical services. This chapter discusses the prevalence of pathological and problem gamblers among the general U.S. population and specific subpopulations. As limited by the available data, the discussion is often framed in terms of the proportion of pathological and problem gamblers reported in studies of U.S. residents. Of particular concern is determining prevalence among reportedly vulnerable demographic groups, such as men, adolescents, the poor, the elderly, and minorities (including American Indians). We also attempt to examine trends in relation to the increased availability of legal gambling opportunities in the last decade. This chapter also makes comparisons with the prevalence rates of alcohol and drug abusers, to help put the magnitude of excessive gambling and related problems into perspective. LIMITATIONS OF PREVALENCE RESEARCH In Chapter 2 we described the difficulties involved in defining and measuring pathological gambling using various assessment instruments. Here it is important to note that comparing and interpreting prevalence findings is problematic when different studies use different screening and/or diagnostic instruments or criterion levels to measure differing levels of intemperate gambling and associated problems. Unfortunately, such differences are common in the research literature on pathological and problem gambling (Volberg, 1998b) which creates problems in estimating prevalence rates in the United States.

  • Hedging Your Bets: Is Fantasy Sports Betting Insurance Really ‘Insurance’?
    HEDGING YOUR BETS: IS FANTASY SPORTS BETTING INSURANCE REALLY ‘INSURANCE’? Haley A. Hinton* I. INTRODUCTION Sports betting is an animal of both the past and the future: it goes through the ebbs and flows of federal and state regulations and provides both positive and negative repercussions to society. While opponents note the adverse effects of sports betting on the integrity of professional and collegiate sporting events and gambling habits, proponents point to massive public interest, the benefits to state economies, and the embracement among many professional sports leagues. Fantasy sports gaming has engaged people from all walks of life and created its own culture and industry by allowing participants to manage their own fictional professional teams from home. Sports betting insurance—particularly fantasy sports insurance which protects participants in the event of a fantasy athlete’s injury—has prompted a new question in insurance law: is fantasy sports insurance really “insurance?” This question is especially prevalent in Connecticut—a state that has contemplated legalizing sports betting and recognizes the carve out for legalized fantasy sports games. Because fantasy sports insurance—such as the coverage underwritten by Fantasy Player Protect and Rotosurance—satisfy the elements of insurance, fantasy sports insurance must be regulated accordingly. In addition, the Connecticut legislature must take an active role in considering what it means for fantasy participants to “hedge their bets:” carefully balancing public policy with potential economic benefits. * B.A. Political Science and Law, Science, and Technology in the Accelerated Program in Law, University of Connecticut (CT) (2019).

  • Ten Reasons to Oppose Expanding Casino Gambling to Hartford Or Fairfield Counties
    Ten Reasons to Oppose Expanding Casino Gambling To Hartford or Fairfield Counties 1. Societal Costs. Opening a casino in either Hartford County or Fairfield County would dramatically expand casino gambling in Connecticut, leading to an increase in gambling addiction and the problems that accompany it. According to the UConn School of Medicine, the growing gambling epidemic is hitting lower socioeconomic groups the hardest and the resulting societal costs are being borne by employers, law enforcement, social welfare agencies, and the health care system. 2. Economic Costs. A Hartford area convenience casino would target Connecticut residents, while a Fairfield County casino’s potential for drawing New Yorkers has declined greatly with the opening of three machine gambling casinos in Metropolitan New York. As a result, the taxes and jobs produced by a Hartford or Fairfield County casino would be paid for overwhelmingly by the gambling losses of Connecticut residents, leaving them with less to spend on other areas of the state’s economy and, according to economists, merely redistributing existing money within the state without creating economic growth. 3. Compact Costs. Permitting the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan Tribes to open an off- reservation casino could trigger a provision of the state-tribal compact under which the tribes would no longer have to pay the state 25% of their slot machine revenue. Allowing anyone other than the tribes to open a casino in Connecticut would automatically end tribal slot payments to the state. 4. Timing. With the Northeast facing a growing casino glut, this is the worst possible time for Connecticut to up its bet on the casino industry.

  • Remote Gaming and the Gambling Industry
    . Remote Gaming and the Gambling Industry Suzanne M. Kirchhoff Analyst in Industrial Organization and Business November 16, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41614 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . Remote Gaming and the Gambling Industry Summary Gambling, once widely outlawed, is today a regulated, taxed activity that is legal in some form— bingo, card games, slot machines, state-run lotteries, casinos—in all but two states. State governments have the main responsibility for overseeing gambling, but Congress historically has played a significant role in shaping the industry, most recently by passing the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA; P.L. 109-347) in 2006. UIGEA, while preventing payments to illegal gambling-related businesses, does not outlaw any form of remote gaming. To the contrary, the law allows states and Indian tribes to offer remote gaming within their territory so long as certain conditions are met. Already a majority of states allow remote betting on horse racing, and a number use the web for lottery promotions. Several states are debating legislation to legalize online poker or other games. Indian tribes are using cutting-edge computer gambling technology at tribal casinos. U.S. gaming companies have created subsidiaries to focus on remote gaming and seem likely to expand rapidly if the legal issues are clarified. While UIGEA did not outlaw remote gaming, it also did not clarify the scope of long-standing laws that the Department of Justice has used to prosecute illegal Internet gambling, such as the Wire Act, 18 U.S.C.
