'Through our team's shared commitment of evolving the Foxwoods experience, together we are continuing to redefine what it means to be a leader in hospitality, gaming and entertainment, and cannot wait to bring this vision to life,' Guyot further noted.Īccording to a press release, the new gaming space will be located in the Grand Ballroom in the casino’s Grand Pequot area. Jason Guyot, Foxwoods’ president and chief executive officer, said in a statement: “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.' Since February, when Foxwoods celebrated its 30th anniversary, the casino has been presenting projects of varying magnitude on a monthly basis. The proposed improvements, estimated to cost $85 million, come 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. Construction on the new amenities is scheduled to begin in November. 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.
