The additional machines will increase Foxwoods' slots inventory to between 3,400 and 3,500 machines. Three-quarters of the new casino's machines are new, with the rest coming from other Foxwoods gaming areas. The Pequot Woodlands Casino also features a 40-seat bar equipped with 36 slots, which winds through the gaming area, as well as Drip, a small public bar just outside the area. Pillars in the area represent trees while the pattern in the carpet mimics 'refractions of sunlight.' In the high-limit area, several of the slot machines are paired with tables and TV screens, creating an individual's own space, or 'pod,' he said.

He said the new gaming area is designed to recapture some of that feel. 'When Foxwoods opened in 1992, it was meant to feel like you were outside,' Guyot said. The HighFlyer Zipline, anchored atop The Fox Tower, can be seen stretching down to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center in the distance. The Pequot Woodlands Casino, which is wide open off the concourse, features a high-limit area where two picture windows afford a panoramic view of the woods surrounding Foxwoods. 'This brings The Fox Tower closer to the heart of the property, figuratively,' Guyot said of the new 'hub' area.

The cornerstone of the renovation plan was the creation of a hub of amenities in Foxwoods' Grand Pequot Concourse area, which had been a sort of no man's land between the main Foxwoods casino and The Fox Tower, a once freestanding structure linked to the Grand Pequot Casino by the Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods, the indoor shopping mall that opened in 2015. It's hard to believe three years have gone by.' 'We knew we needed something new to compete coming out of COVID and into the future.

'We really started putting together this master plan for renovations in 2020,' Guyot said. He said $30 million had been invested in the area ― Foxwoods' sixth gaming floor, or casino, and, except for the 2021 addition of a DraftKings sportsbook, its first major gaming-area upgrade in years. Jason Guyot, Foxwoods' president and chief executive officer, said walls that had hidden the Pequot Woodlands Casino's construction came down last Wednesday, fueling anticipation among patrons and employees in advance of Tuesday's 11 a.m.
