Mohegan Sun is partnering with FanDuel as well for a sports wagering app people can use to bet on games, while operating a sports wagering parlor at the resort. With the advent of online gaming in Connecticut last October, however, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods now offer virtual game tables for those wanting the action but wishing to skip the trip. 'We were doing in the neighborhood of a third of our table games volumes from buses from New York and Boston.'

'We thought, quite honestly, we could never ever get rid of buses from New York and Boston,' Pinault said, during an economic conference sponsored by the Connecticut Business & Industry Association. Speaking in Trumbull on Thursday, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment CEO Ray Pineault noted the resort has been able to rebound despite its abandonment of bus shuttles from New York and Boston - a development he said he could not have envisioned two years ago. Hotel, entertainment and gaming revenues all topped the totals of the last three months of 2019, with only food service still trailing. In the final three months of last year, revenue at the Mohegan Sun casino in eastern Connecticut topped what it logged in the last quarter of 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic forced a closure and slow recovery to normalized service.

They may be idled for the long haul, the CEO of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment suggested Thursday - but seemingly with little impact for gaming revenue that funnels a piece of the action into Connecticut's coffers.
