While many people think that games at the Maesantucket Pequot Reserve began when Foxwood Resort Casino opened in 1992, those who know it began in July 1986 at the high-stakes Bingo Hall.

On July 6, 1986, Mashantucket Pequot Indian High Stakes Bingo opened for business and very quickly predicted what was coming. It was the first game company to be opened by the tribe. Foxwood's Bingo, which originally housed 1,200 players, evolved to become a major destination for lovers of the game.

"This is where the foxes started," said Michael Holder, a Massantucket Pequot tribe member who started his trainee career at bingo halls and is now the vice president of bingo operations. "When I first opened the bingo hall, I didn't even consider slots or games. If the bingo hall wasn't successful, we wouldn't have opened the casino," Holder added.

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Foxwood's Massantucket Pequart High States Bingo will host a 15-year firecracker bingo worth more than $750,000 in cash and prize money on Saturday, July 7. With a $250 admission fee, players can win more than $300,000 in the Super Jackpot and cash prizes ranging from $7,500 to $25,000. Up to $100,000 in cash door prizes and a 2001 Mercedes-Benz ML320 SUV will be drawn. 온라인카지노
