What Will a Casino in Massachusetts Cost Connecticut?


About $95 million a year, according to the Office of Fiscal Analysis. OFA estimates that casinos built in Massachusetts similar to the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun resorts will result in a loss of up to 25% of Connecticut’s Indian gaming payments.

OFA based its estimates in part on data from the Center for Policy Analysis at UMASS Dartmouth, which has been studying casino gaming since 2004.
