Connecticut’s Foxwoods casino boosts brand with CT Lottery deal

Foxwoods Resort Casino has partnered with the CT Lottery to launch Connecticut’s first casino-branded scratch ticket.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation recently announced the new Foxwoods High Roller scratch ticket, which marks the first time the CT Lottery has partnered with either of the state’s tribal gaming operators. The High Roller’s launch coincides with Foxwoods’ 25th anniversary celebrations and offers hope that rival gaming sectors don’t always have to view each other as cannibalistic competitors engaged in a Darwinian fight for survival.

The High Roller offers players the chance to win instant prizes as well as top prizes of $125k, along with VIP overnight stays at the casino. Even losing tickets will soon be eligible for Second Chance drawings at the casino for the “Wonder Of It All’ Weekend Experience.

Foxwoods CEO Felix Rappaport said the cross-promotional tie-up with the CT Lottery brought together “two of the best gaming brands in the state” as part of the casino’s commitment to “providing our guests with innovative and fun ways to win in 2017 and beyond.”
