message: I think it would make sense to point poker fans who visit this page to http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/Foxwoods , but I don't know what would be a legitimate (non-spammy) way to do so.   Comments? - PhilipR 20:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Maybe I'm making more work for myself, but am i the only one that thinks this page needs a major face lift? The MGM Grand at Foxwoods has been open for 8 months now, not to mention a lot of it's basic information has changed/been updated. At the very least, I would like to add a list of the various outlets currently in the facility... but I think it would also be a good idea to vastly expand the MGM Grand information (if not outright making a whole new entry referencing back to here). What's most notably missing right now are the 700+ employee layoff that occured October 2008; updated MGM Grand at Foxwoods information; updated gaming area/machine information. I am looking to find some reliable sources for these things so I can update them. Coderjcronin (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In one place in the article, it states that Connecticut receives 25% of slots revenue, an amount that in 2007 was around $200m.  In another place, it states that Foxwood slots handled $9.5B in 2003, and that Connecticut receives 25%.  Since I can't imagine revenue went from $9.5B in 2003 to $800m in 2007, something is fishy here. Drhamad (talk) 02:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: There are several Macau (Chinese) nationalists on Wikipedia who believe that the Sands Macau Casino is the largest in the world.  The Sands Macau gaming floor measures approximately 229,000 feet, whereas the Foxwoods boasts 340,000 feet.  They are making contradictory claims HERE and HERE.  They are not backing down.  Help me out guys. VietGrant 08:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: what do you mean by "Macau Chinese nationalist"?  can I say you are an "American Kansas" nationalist with arrogant attitude?  can I say that I have one gaming table inside the building where is larger than 1 million square feet, is the largest casino in the world? 70.52.64.82 02:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: By the numbers, Foxwoods is still the largest by floor space.  However, Sands Macau does claim 740 table games compared to Foxwoods 380 (that's 95% more).  Foxwoods also has 7,000 slot/video poker machines.  Sands Macau claims 1,254 slot machines, so it is not a direct comparison.  I'm still inclined to say Foxwoods is the largest casino in the world because it's measurement is in an SI unit, whereas Sands Macau is claiming the title on number of table games, which isn't a unit of measure... just a quantity.  However, the Sands Corporation does claim the title in this press release. --Meadowbrook 05:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: slot machines are deliberately not expanded as Asians don't feel interested in it.  Again, I don't care if the casino is larger than 1 billion square feet, if it has lesser tables, it doesn't mean anything.  Standard casino only count tables, but not the numbers of bingo, slot machines, video poker.  Why not put one table in the baseball stadium and claim it is the largest casino in the world? I am still inclined to say Sands Casino is the largest in the world.  70.52.64.82 05:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't deny that Sands Macau can claim largest title, but you have to put the qualifier on it that it is measured by number of table games.  Similarly, Foxwoods needs the qualifier that its as measured by gaming space. --Meadowbrook 09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Largest Casino? 

message: Well, what happened?  Did the employees walk out?  Anything happen that's worth mentioning in the article? No nothing ever happened as it is a waste of space to mention it in yhis articleVietGrant 11:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd really like to know more about the Foxwoods Resort theme song.  That's the one they used from 2001-2006 approximately.  I think it's called, "The Wonder of it All".  I really want to find that song and download it, but I have no idea if it's an original song that swingers like the Rat Pack would have sung, or if it was written specifically for the commercial.  I think Wikipedia should have an article about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkemancometh (talk • contribs) 00:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed from the article the claim that Foxwoods had the most slot machines of any casino. Based on the numbers on their respective websites, Foxwoods claims 6300 machines, and Winstar World Casino claims 6700. I don't know if any others have more than Winstar, but it appears Foxwoods does not have the most. 68.97.28.139 (talk) 03:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

message: § History says
: In an agreement negotiated with the state of Connecticut, to gain their approval of the casino, the tribe agreed to pay 25 percent of the slot revenue to the state, a sum that amounted to almost $200 million per year . In the fiscal year ending June 2008, Foxwoods' 6,300 slots handled more than $9.1 billion.

message: The casino's location— whether in Ledyard or in Mashantucket— has been the subject of ongoing edit warring. Since the casino's own site says Ledyard, that's what we should say.
