The online gaming site for two tribal casinos in the US state of Connecticut, through which customers play games and buy credits that translate into reward points for merchandise and hotel stays at the property, is offering significant value despite not offering real-money gaming.

Foxwoods

Foxwoods and its local rival, Mohegan Sun, the two biggest tribal-owned casinos in the US, have launched websites in anticipation of the potential legalisation of real-money i-gaming at either state or federal level.

"What we're finding is that it's actually a useful tool for building a database, getting our brand out there and connecting people to the property," said Rodney Butler, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which owns and operates Foxwoods.
