Connecticut's two Indian-owned casinos are looking to extend drinking hours, in an attempt to keep gamblers at the slot machines and gaming tables longer.
Casinos in Atlantic City can serve 24 hours a day, and Foxwoods and Mohegan say they want to be able to keep up.
Right now, state liquor laws prohibit selling or giving away alcohol on gambling floors after 1 a.m. during the week, and after 2 a.m. on weekends. And gambling revenue drops off when the bars go dark, according to a spokespeole for the Mohegan Tribe and Mashantucket Pequots.
Preliminary talks with the state are underway.
