PRESS RELEASE

Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods today reported to the Connecticut State Division of Special Revenue that slot revenue for the month of October was $57.2 million. This amount represents an increase of 4.5 percent in slot win and 9.7 percent in total slot handle as compared to October of 2009. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the casino's owner, also reported a $15.4 million payment to the State of Connecticut for October 2010. This contribution increases the total dollar amount given to the State of Connecticut to approximately $3.09 billion since January 1993, when slot machines were first introduced at Foxwoods.

"We're pleased with October's results, but given that the economy as a whole still appears to be relatively weak, we remain vigilant and focused on providing the best entertainment value for our customers"
"We're pleased with October's results, but given that the economy as a whole still appears to be relatively weak, we remain vigilant and focused on providing the best entertainment value for our customers," said Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprises (MPGE) Interim President William Sherlock. "Also, as recently announced, we are very excited that Mr. Scott Butera will be joining us in December as our new CEO & President."

Unmatched hospitality, dining, entertainment and gaming amenities continue to drive visitations and high occupancy rates at Foxwoods and MGM Grand at Foxwoods. North America's largest resort casino offers patrons a vast array of table games and slot machines and consistently introduces new options that keep guests coming back including the recently unveiled "Big Spin Slotto" and "Treasure of the Sun" machines -- the latter of which offers an exclusive opportunity to win a grand prize cruise for two valued at $1,200.

More guests results in higher payouts at the Northeast's premier entertainment destination, which awarded more than $27,335,900 in jackpot winnings in October alone. Norwalk, Conn. resident Robert Lametta hit a jackpot valued at more than $1 million after testing his luck at the "Mega-Millioniser" penny slot machine and that same evening another Norwalk resident walked away the proud owner of a brand new 2011 grey Chevy Camaro, valued at $23,500, after playing the 25-cent Car Carrousel slot machine. Foxwoods paid out more than $289,854,000 in winnings in the 2010 fiscal year.

Foxwoods' six casinos boast more than 360 table games with 17 different varieties, including blackjack, craps, baccarat, roulette, Caribbean stud and pai gow poker, and the only WPT World Poker Room in New England, with 98 tables open around-the-clock. MGM Grand at Foxwoods features 60 table games, including blackjack, roulette, craps, Spanish 21, and 3-card poker. Together, the six casinos offer more than 6,600 slots, a Rolling Chip program that rewards frequent players, Wide Area Progressive slot machines, High Stakes Bingo, free online play and Ultimate Race Book.
