Foxwoods Video Roulette: The Fixed Facts

The straight-line number that anchors every visit

Foxwoods Resort Casino is 118.9 straight-line miles from New York City, measured great-circle between documented coordinates. That figure describes the shortest path over the earth's surface, not a trip anyone can drive.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage, road routes, or travel times. The gap between the two numbers depends on terrain, water crossings, and where the road network forces a detour.

What the documented records show about the game floor

Publicly published reference sources describe Foxwoods as having more than 5,500 slot machines and more than 250 gaming tables for blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker. A separate documented figure lists 53 table games at the former MGM Grand at Foxwoods component before MGM Mirage split from the property in late 2013.

Video roulette is a machine-based format that sits between a slot cabinet and a live table game. The documented sources supplied for this article do not contain a specific line item for video roulette machines at Foxwoods, so this article cannot state whether the venue currently offers them. What the records do establish is that the property operates both a large slot floor and live table games, which is the structural context in which a video roulette product would sit.

Where Foxwoods is

Foxwoods Resort Casino is located in Ledyard, Connecticut, on the reservation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which owns and operates the property. The coordinates place it in the southeastern part of Connecticut, northeast of New York City and southwest of Boston.

The resort opened in 1992 with the Great Cedar tower, followed by the Grand Pequot Tower in 1997 and the MGM Grand tower in 2008. Including six casinos, the resort covers 9,000,000 square feet, and it has two hotel towers with a total of 2,228 hotel rooms.

Documented straight-line distances from Foxwoods

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to Foxwoods has been documented. All figures are straight-line measurements, not road miles.

Why straight-line distance understates the actual trip

A great-circle measurement ignores everything that stands between two points. Foxwoods sits inland in southeastern Connecticut, away from the interstate corridor that connects the major coastal cities, so the road network does not follow the straight-line path.

Water is the largest single factor for many approaches. Long Island Sound separates the venue from points south and west of it, which forces road trips to run around the sound or across a limited number of crossings. Terrain, state boundaries, and the simple fact that roads connect towns rather than coordinates all add distance on top of the straight-line figure.

How to measure from your own starting point

The venue's position is fixed: 41.47388889 latitude, -71.95805556 longitude, in Ledyard, Connecticut. Your starting point is not fixed, which is why no article can meaningfully answer a question framed as "from me" or "from my location" without knowing where that is.

To measure from your own position, take your coordinates or city and compare them against the reference table above. If your city is not listed, use a mapping tool to measure the great-circle distance between your coordinates and the venue's coordinates. Then understand that the road distance will be longer, and the only reliable road figure comes from a routing tool that accounts for current road conditions.

What to confirm before you go

Three things change or remain unverified in the documented record and should be confirmed through the property's own channels before a trip. First, whether video roulette is currently on the floor, since game mix changes and the supplied reference sources do not contain a specific video roulette line item. Second, the current count and location of any roulette product, live or machine-based, because floor layouts are revised. Third, the road distance and drive time from your actual starting point, which no static article can provide.

The authoritative current answer for game availability lives with the venue's own guest services or floor information desk. The authoritative current answer for road distance lives in a routing application that knows your departure point and the road network as it exists today.
