The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, owner of Foxwoods Resort Casino in eastern Connecticut, says it will partner with an Internet gambling provider to begin offering online games this year.
The Mashantuckets and London’s GameAccount Network announced the deal on April 22. It must still be approved by government gaming regulators.
The partners say they will initially focus on play-for-fun online gambling in the United States, but they will be ready for real money gambling if online is gambling is legalized.
The tribe and GameAccount say they will also provide business-to-business services to other U.S. gambling operators.
Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods' Connecticut competitor, reached an agreement last year with Las Vegas-based Bally Technologies to provide free-play online poker.
