Mohegan Sun reported Thursday it “won,” or kept, $43.4 million in slots revenue after paying out prizes in March, about a third more than the $32.7 million it kept in February.

Foxwoods Resort Casino kept $29.7 million in March, about a third more than the $22.5 million it kept in February.

The casinos were closed for much of the previous March due to the COVID-19 outbreak, making year-over-year comparisons meaningless.

Mohegan Sun contributed 25% of its March slots wins — about $10.9 million — to the state.

Foxwoods contributed 25% of its win — $7,422,306 — and made an additional contribution of $577,694 for a total contribution of $8 million.
