The Figure You Are Looking For Sits Inside a Larger Floor
A reader asking how many table games Foxwoods has is usually trying to size up the gaming floor before a visit, or comparing it against another large resort property. The documented answer is 53 table games, but that number comes attached to one specific section of the property, the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, and it was recorded at a particular point in time. It is not a live count of every table on the entire resort today.
Foxwoods is not a single casino room. Publicly published reference sources describe the resort as an integrated property that includes six casinos under one owner and one roof, spread across a site in Ledyard, Connecticut. That structure matters because a count tied to one component does not automatically describe the other five.
What the Documented Figure Covers
The 53 table games figure comes from a published description of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, a section that opened in 2008 and was later separated from MGM Mirage in late 2013. The same source lists that section as having 1,400 slot machines and 825 hotel rooms or suites. Those numbers are all part of one snapshot of one tower.
The broader resort has a separate documented slot machine count of more than 5,500 across the property, and a hotel inventory of 2,228 rooms across two hotel towers. The table game count for the entire resort is not supplied in the same way, which is why the honest answer to the question is narrower than the question sounds.
| Facility Measure | Documented Figure | Scope It Describes | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table games | 53 | MGM Grand at Foxwoods section | Point-in-time published count |
| Slot machines | 1,400 | MGM Grand at Foxwoods section | Point-in-time published count |
| Slot machines | More than 5,500 | Resort-wide | Point-in-time published count |
| Hotel rooms and suites | 825 | MGM Grand at Foxwoods section | Point-in-time published count |
| Hotel rooms | 2,228 | Two hotel towers, resort-wide | Point-in-time published count |
Every figure above is a documented number from publicly published reference sources, and each one describes a specific moment in the property's history. Casinos reconfigure pits, move tables between rooms, convert table space to slot banks, and renovate towers. A count published in one year is not a promise about the next.
Why Table Game Counts Are Hard to Compare
If the goal is to compare Foxwoods against another large resort, the comparison breaks down faster than most people expect. A table game count is only meaningful when both sides define the term the same way, and they rarely do.
- Some properties count only live-dealer tables with a physical felt layout, while others include electronic table games or stadium-style terminals in the same number.
- Poker room tables may or may not be included in a property's published table game total.
- A count taken before a renovation can be off by dozens of tables within a year.
- Resorts with multiple separately branded casinos on one site may report each section separately, as Foxwoods does with the MGM Grand figure, or report one blended total.
None of this means the published figure is wrong. It means the figure answers a narrower question than the reader may have intended. The safest use of the 53 table game number is as a documented floor count for the MGM Grand at Foxwoods section at the time the source was published, not as a live resort-wide total.
Where the Property Sits and How It Is Structured
Foxwoods Resort Casino is located in Ledyard, Connecticut, on the reservation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which owns and operates the property. The original Great Cedar tower opened in 1992, the Grand Pequot Tower followed in 1997, and the MGM Grand section opened in 2008 before MGM Mirage split from the property in late 2013.
Published reference sources describe the resort as covering an area of 9,000,000 square feet, or about 840,000 square meters, across six casinos. That total floor area includes hotel towers, meeting space, retail, dining, arcade space, and back-of-house operations. It is not the same thing as gaming floor area, which is a smaller and separately measured figure.
Straight-Line Distances to Common Reference Points
Readers often pair a table game question with a travel question, so it helps to anchor the property against cities they may be measuring from. The distances below are great-circle, straight-line measurements between documented coordinates. They are not road miles, and driving distance is always longer.
| Reference Point | Straight-Line Distance from Foxwoods | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| New York City | 118.9 miles | Great-circle |
| Manhattan | 118.9 miles | Great-circle |
| Boston | 76.8 miles | Great-circle |
| Philadelphia | 198.0 miles | Great-circle |
| Atlantic City | 195.2 miles | Great-circle |
| Washington DC | 320.5 miles | Great-circle |
| Toronto | 406.5 miles | Great-circle |
| Chicago | 808.0 miles | Great-circle |
This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or transit time. A straight-line figure tells a reader how far the property sits from a city as the crow flies, but the actual trip depends on the route, traffic, and mode of arrival. Anyone planning a drive should measure from their own starting point using a mapping tool rather than relying on these fixed reference pairs.
What to Confirm Before You Go
If the number of table games on the floor matters to a visit, the only place to get the current answer is the property itself. A published reference figure is useful for understanding the scale of the resort, but it cannot tell a reader which tables are open on a given night, which pit has been reconfigured, or whether a section is under renovation.
Before travelling, a reader should confirm the following through the property's own guest services or published floor information: which casino sections are currently operating, which table game types are offered in each section, whether any pits or rooms are closed for renovation, and whether the table game mix has changed since the last published count. The property's own website and front desk are the authoritative channels for that information.
FAQ
How many table games does Foxwoods have in total?
The documented table game figure is 53, and it comes from a published description of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods section. A resort-wide table game total is not supplied in the same published reference sources. The property contains six casinos, so a section-specific count should not be read as a whole-resort total.
Does the 53 table game figure include poker tables?
The published source does not break the 53 table games into game type, so it is not possible to say from that figure alone whether poker tables are included. Properties differ in how they classify poker room tables versus pit tables, and a reader should confirm the current mix directly with the property.
How many slot machines and hotel rooms does Foxwoods have?
Published reference sources document more than 5,500 slot machines across the resort and 2,228 hotel rooms across two hotel towers. The MGM Grand section is separately documented at 1,400 slot machines and 825 hotel rooms or suites. All figures are point-in-time measures subject to change with renovations.
