The state’s casinos saw a drop in weekend business as a result of Tropical Storm Irene, but the chief executive at Mohegan Sun said customers are back looking for a place to eat and something to do.
Jeff Hartmann told the Norwich Bulletin that slot revenues will be impacted because many weekend gamblers stayed home to ride out the storm.
But, business has been brisk since the storm. Hartmann notes that he is one of those who has turned to the casino's restaurants for meals after losing power at home.
Both Mohegan Sun and the Foxwoods Resort Casino stayed open during Irene.
