Casinos in Connecticut Map
Connecticut has just two casinos, but they are among the largest in the country. Both are tribal resorts in the rural southeast corner of the state, near Norwich: Foxwoods, run by the Mashantucket Pequot, and Mohegan Sun, run by the Mohegan Tribe. This casinos in Connecticut map shows where the pair sit and how to think about a visit. The minimum age to gamble is 21 at both, and there are no commercial or off reservation casinos anywhere else in the state.

Where the casinos are in Connecticut
For a small state, Connecticut punches far above its size on the casino floor, and it does it with only two properties. Both sit close together in the southeast, in the quiet country between Norwich and the Rhode Island line, off Interstate 395 near the Thames River. There is no casino strip and no second cluster. The rest of Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, and the whole southwestern corner near New York, has no casino at all.
Foxwoods is at Mashantucket, in the town of Ledyard, set back in the woods on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation. About fifteen minutes northwest, Mohegan Sun rises beside the Thames at Uncasville, in the town of Montville, on the Mohegan reservation. The two are close enough that many visitors see both in one trip, and each runs as a full destination resort with hotels, dining, and entertainment alongside the gaming.
Because both are sovereign tribal operations under federal law and state compacts, they are the only casinos the state allows. A plan for a third, a joint tribal casino at East Windsor near Hartford, was approved in 2017 but later abandoned, so the map has stayed at two in the southeast.

Foxwoods at Mashantucket Ledyard · Mashantucket Pequot reservation
Foxwoods is the bigger of the two and the larger gaming floor, with six connected casinos under one sprawling roof on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation in Ledyard. Beyond the slots and tables it carries hotels, a large poker room, an outlet mall, and a full slate of shows, which makes it a multi day destination as much as a casino. It is the anchor of the southeast cluster and the headline draw for visitors coming up from New York or down from Boston.
Mohegan Sun at Uncasville Montville · Mohegan reservation
Mohegan Sun sits beside the Thames River at Uncasville, about fifteen minutes from Foxwoods, on the Mohegan reservation. Its gaming is split into two themed halls, the Casino of the Sky and the Casino of the Earth, with one of the largest total gaming spaces in the country, plus an arena that books major concerts and events. The two resorts compete head to head and together they make the southeast the gambling heart of New England.
Casino laws and minimum age in Connecticut
Casino gambling in Connecticut runs entirely through two federally recognized tribes, the Mashantucket Pequot and the Mohegan, under compacts with the state. There are no commercial casinos and the state does not license off reservation casino gaming, which is why Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are the only two and why both stand on tribal land. The casinos themselves are overseen by each tribe’s gaming commission, while the state Department of Consumer Protection runs the Gaming Division that regulates online casino games and sports betting.
The minimum age to gamble is 21 at both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, the same age that applies to sports betting and online play. Because alcohol is served on the gaming floor, there is no separate 18 and over area as some tribal venues elsewhere have. Sports betting, both at the sportsbooks inside the casinos and online, and online casino games have been legal since 2021. Hours vary by venue and the floors generally run late, so check the official site before planning around them, and confirm the current age and rules at the property, since policies can change.
Dated fact Minimum age 21 at both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, under the tribal gaming operations and state compacts. Verified May 2026. This is the kind of figure to recheck before relying on it.
Tribal gaming in Connecticut
Connecticut’s whole casino story is a tribal one. Foxwoods opened in 1992 as the first casino on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation and grew into the largest gaming floor in North America, and Mohegan Sun followed in 1996 on the neighboring Mohegan reservation. Under the state compacts the tribes share a portion of slot revenue with Connecticut in exchange for exclusivity, which is the arrangement that has kept casino gaming limited to these two reservations. When the tribes proposed a jointly run third casino at East Windsor to head off competition from a new resort across the line in Massachusetts, the plan cleared the legislature in 2017 but stalled and was eventually dropped, leaving the two original resorts as the state’s entire casino map.
The biggest casino in Connecticut
Both Connecticut casinos are giants by national standards. Foxwoods holds the largest gaming floor in North America, about 340,000 square feet spread across six connected casinos, with roughly 5,500 slot machines and more than 250 tables including a major poker room. Mohegan Sun is a near rival, with about 364,000 square feet of total gaming space across its two halls and roughly 3,500 slots. Which one counts as bigger depends on whether you measure the contiguous gaming floor or the total footprint, but both sit comfortably among the largest casinos in the United States. Floor counts shift with renovations, so the figures here are a May 2026 snapshot.
Sports betting and online casinos in Connecticut
Connecticut legalized sports betting and online casino gaming in 2021, and both run through the same two tribes. You can bet at the retail sportsbooks inside Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun or online, with the Mashantucket Pequot partnered with DraftKings and the Mohegan Tribe with FanDuel, alongside a sports betting product from the Connecticut Lottery. Online casino games, the slots and table games you can play from a phone, are legal as well, which fewer states allow. The minimum age is 21 across all of it, and online play requires you to be physically inside the state. For a visitor that means you can wager at a sportsbook on the floor or from your phone once you are in Connecticut.
