Foxwoods Resort Casino is 118.9 straight-line miles from New York City and 76.8 straight-line miles from Boston, which places it in the wooded southeastern corner of Connecticut rather than inside a major metro. Road distance is always longer than a straight-line figure, and this article does not publish driving miles or travel times. What it can do is explain why a bingo session at Foxwoods has no single published price, what variables set the cost, and how the venue's fixed position relates to the reference points you may be travelling from.
Bingo Pricing Is Session-Based, Not a Flat Fee
A bingo hall does not sell one standard game at one standard price the way a vending machine sells one item. Foxwoods, like most large bingo operations, sells admission to sessions, and within a session the player chooses among packages. The cost therefore depends on which package you buy, which session you attend, and what day it is.
This article does not publish a dollar figure for bingo at Foxwoods because no fixed, verifiable figure exists in the reference material supplied for this piece. The honest answer to "how much does it cost" is that the price is variable by design, and the current number lives on the property's own bingo page and at its bingo hall box office.
What Sets the Price of a Bingo Session
Several levers move the cost of bingo at any large venue, and Foxwoods is no exception. The most important is the package: a basic admission with a set number of paper cards costs less than an electronic package that auto-daubs dozens of cards simultaneously. The session time also matters, because matinee, evening, and late-night sessions carry different demand levels.
Other variables include the day of the week, whether the session is tied to a promotion or a guaranteed prize pool, and whether you are buying a single-visit package or a multi-session bundle. None of these figures are stable enough to publish here, and any number printed in an article like this would be wrong by the time you read it.
The Venue's Fixed Position and Why That Matters for Your Trip
Foxwoods is located in Ledyard, Connecticut, on the reservation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. The venue's documented coordinates are 41.47388889 latitude and -71.95805556 longitude. Those coordinates place it in the southeastern part of Connecticut, northeast of New York City and southwest of Boston, though neither of those directional statements is a substitute for a measured distance.
The resort opened in 1992 and has grown into a large integrated property. Publicly published reference sources document 5,500 slot machines, 2,228 hotel rooms, and 53 table games at the MGM Grand portion of the property as of the time those figures were recorded. Facility counts like these are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat them as a documented point in time rather than a current inventory.
Straight-Line Distances to Documented Reference Points
The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to Foxwoods is documented in this article's source material. Every figure is straight-line, measured between coordinates, and none of them is a road distance.

| Manhattan | 118.9 | great-circle |
| Boston | 76.8 | great-circle |

If a city you are travelling from does not appear in the table above, this article cannot measure that specific pair. That is not a gap in the venue's location; it is a gap in the documented reference set. You can measure your own straight-line distance from any starting point by using the venue's coordinates above and the coordinates of your own location.
Why Straight-Line Distance Understates Your Actual Trip
A straight-line figure is the shortest possible path between two points on a sphere. Your actual trip follows roads, and roads bend for reasons a line does not. Southeastern Connecticut is cut by rivers, wooded ridges, and protected land, and the road network routes around those features rather than through them.
Crossing a state line also changes the picture. A trip from New York City to Ledyard crosses from New York into Connecticut, and the available crossings and their approaches add distance that no straight-line figure captures. The same is true for a trip from Boston, which crosses no state line but follows a road network shaped by the Massachusetts and Connecticut town grids rather than by a compass bearing.
How to Confirm the Current Bingo Price Before You Travel
The authoritative current answer to "how much does bingo cost at Foxwoods" lives in exactly two places: the bingo section of the property's own website, and the bingo hall's box office or guest services desk on site. The property's published bingo page is the channel that carries the session schedule, package descriptions, and pricing. The box office carries the same information in person and can sell you a package for the next available session.
Before you travel, confirm three things. First, confirm that bingo is operating on the day you plan to visit, because session schedules change and special events can replace regular sessions. Second, confirm the package structure, because the difference between a basic paper package and a full electronic package can be substantial. Third, confirm whether the price you are quoted includes any admission or facility fee as a separate line, because the headline package price is not always the total you pay.
What to Confirm Before You Go
- Whether bingo is running on your planned date, and which sessions are open to walk-in players.
- The exact package contents and price for the session you want, quoted from the property's own bingo page or box office.
- Whether any separate admission, facility, or electronic-device fee applies on top of the package price.
- The road route and road distance from your actual starting point, which this article does not provide.
- Whether the hotel or parking situation on your travel date affects your total trip cost, since neither is priced in this article.
FAQ
Does Foxwoods publish a fixed bingo price?
No fixed, single bingo price is documented in the reference material for this article. Bingo at Foxwoods is sold by session and by package, so the cost depends on which session you attend, which package you choose, and what day it is. The current price is published on the property's own bingo page and at the bingo hall box office, and that is where you should confirm it.
How far is Foxwoods from New York City?
Foxwoods is 118.9 straight-line miles from New York City, measured as a great-circle distance between documented coordinates. Road distance is longer because the route follows highways and local roads that bend around terrain and cross the New York-Connecticut border. This article does not publish driving miles or travel times.
Can I get a bingo price quote from this article?
No. This article explains what sets bingo pricing and where the current number lives, but it does not publish a dollar figure because no stable, verifiable figure is available in the reference material. The property's own bingo page and on-site box office are the authoritative channels for a current quote.
