Is Foxwood Casino Open in Connecticut?

Foxwoods Resort Casino is the largest casino in the United States, with six casinos and more than 380 gaming tables. It is located on the Mashantucket Pequot Indian Reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut.

The name “Foxwoods” is derived from the fox hunting theme of the original casino.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, which owns and operates Foxwoods, decided to reopen the casino on May 29, 2020, after closing it on March 15 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening came with strict safety protocols in place, including temperature checks for all guests and employees, mandatory face coverings, and social distancing measures.

Despite these safety measures, some guests and employees have expressed concerns about returning to work at Foxwoods. One employee, who wished to remain anonymous, told NBC Connecticut that she does not feel safe returning to work because she does not believe that the safety protocols are enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The employee said that she had contacted Foxwoods management about her concerns but was told that she would have to return to work or be fired. She also said that many of her co-workers feel the same way but are afraid to speak out because they need their jobs.

A spokesperson for Foxwoods released a statement to NBC Connecticut saying that the safety of their guests and employees is their top priority and that they are following all CDC guidelines. They also said that they have implemented additional safety measures beyond what is required by the CDC.

Despite the concerns of some employees, Foxwoods Resort Casino is open and welcoming guests back. With strict safety protocols in place, guests can enjoy all that Foxwoods has to offer while feeling safe and comfortable knowing that everything is being done to ensure their safety.
