The sales-time question is not answered by the two casino venues documented for this state
The published list documents 2 venues in Connecticut: Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket and Mohegan Sun in Montville. Neither venue's keno ticket purchase hours appear in the reference material available for this article, and no single property was identified from the query in a way that would support stating opening hours, machine counts, or floor sizes for any named venue. The times at which keno tickets can be bought in Connecticut are governed by the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and by the individual licensed retailers that sell lottery products, not by the casino venues themselves.
What this article can give you is the fixed geographic position of the two documented venues, the straight-line distances between them and a set of reference cities, and an explanation of why road distance is longer than any straight-line figure shown here. It cannot give you a keno sales schedule, because no such schedule exists in the reference material.
Where the two documented venues sit
Foxwoods Resort Casino is documented in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Mohegan Sun is documented in Montville, Connecticut. The two towns are in the southeastern part of the state, and the venues are the only two documented casino properties for Connecticut in the published list.
Because no coordinates were supplied for either venue in the reference material, this article cannot state a measured straight-line distance between Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, nor between either venue and any named city. Any mileage figure would be an invention. What can be said with confidence is that both venues are in Connecticut, in towns that sit close to one another in the same general region of the state, and that a reader traveling to either should treat all road distances as longer than any straight-line measurement.
Why road distance is always longer than straight-line distance
A straight-line measurement, also called a great-circle distance, is the shortest path between two points on the Earth's surface. A road journey cannot follow that path. Roads bend around hills, follow property lines, avoid bodies of water, and connect through intersections that force detours. In southeastern Connecticut, the terrain is rolling and wooded, with rivers and reservoirs that roads must cross at specific bridge points rather than at the shortest geometric line.
State boundaries add another layer. A driver heading toward either venue from Rhode Island or Massachusetts does not travel in a straight line across the border; the road network follows existing crossings and then local routes. Even a trip that looks short on a map can involve a significantly longer road distance. This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or any travel-time estimate, because none of those figures are available in the reference material and they change with traffic, construction, and route choice.
Keno sales authority in Connecticut sits with the state lottery, not the casino venues
Keno in Connecticut is a lottery game. The Connecticut Lottery Corporation is the entity that sets the rules for when and where keno tickets can be sold. Licensed lottery retailers across the state sell keno tickets during hours that the lottery authorizes, and those hours can differ from the operating hours of a casino venue. A casino may be open around the clock while the keno terminal inside it follows a separate lottery schedule, or the casino may not sell keno at all.
This structural point matters because a reader searching for keno ticket times at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun is asking a question that those venues may not control. The authoritative answer lives with the Connecticut Lottery Corporation's published keno rules and retailer schedule, not with the casino's front desk or website.
What to confirm before you go
Before traveling to buy a keno ticket in Connecticut, confirm three things. First, confirm that the specific location you plan to visit sells keno, since not every lottery retailer carries every game. Second, confirm the current sales window for keno at that location, because the lottery can adjust hours by day of week, by retailer, and by season. Third, confirm whether the location is a casino venue or a standalone lottery retailer, because the two have different operating structures and different hours.
The channel that holds the current answer is the Connecticut Lottery Corporation's official keno page and its retailer locator. A phone call to the specific retailer before you drive is the most reliable way to avoid arriving outside the sales window. This article does not publish phone numbers, addresses, or URLs.
What the published list documents for Connecticut
The published list documents 2 venues in Connecticut. Both are classified as Native American venues in the reference material. The list is a snapshot maintained by volunteer editors, not a regulator licence count, and it may lag an opening or a closure. For the authoritative current list of licensed gambling venues in Connecticut, the reader should consult the state's gaming regulator directly.
| Venue | Documented city | Type | Keno sales time in this article |

| Mohegan Sun | Montville | Native American | Not stated; no schedule in reference material |
How a reader measures distance from their own starting point
The position of a venue is fixed. Your starting point is not. If the question is how far Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun is from where you are, the only honest answer is that the distance depends entirely on your coordinates, which this article does not have. No reference city distances were supplied for either venue, so no straight-line mileage table can be built here.
To measure the distance from your own location, open a mapping tool, enter the venue's town name, and read the road distance and travel time that the tool calculates for your specific route. That figure will always be longer than the straight-line distance, and it will change with the route you choose.
FAQ
Can I buy keno tickets at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun at any time?
This article cannot state a keno sales schedule for either venue, because no such schedule exists in the reference material. Keno sales in Connecticut are governed by the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and by individual licensed retailers. A casino's operating hours do not automatically extend to its keno terminal. Confirm the current sales window with the lottery or the specific retailer before traveling.
What is the straight-line distance between Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun?
No coordinates for either venue were supplied in the reference material, so this article cannot state a measured straight-line distance between them. Any mileage figure would be invented. The two venues are documented in Mashantucket and Montville, Connecticut, towns that sit near one another in the southeastern part of the state, but a road journey between them is longer than any straight-line path.
Why does the article not give a driving time to the Connecticut casinos?
No driving time, road mileage, highway number, or route instruction appears in the reference material, and such figures change with traffic, construction, and route choice. This article publishes only what is documented. A reader should use a mapping tool with their own starting address to get a current road distance and travel time.
