Foxwoods Resort Casino is rolling out their brand new poker room on September 9. The Connecticut operator’s calling it a “technological upgrade” that’ll be housed in the Fox Tower. Live dealing kicks off at 11am local time with a full grand opening ceremony. DraftKings betting kiosks will also be nearby, along with special giveaways running all day.
Why Foxwoods Is Going All-In on Tech
This poker room is part of a “broader resort revolution,” blending dining, nightlife, technology, and guest service. Foxwoods has partnered with big names like DraftKings, Hell’s Kitchen, and Great Wolf Lodge to upgrade and expand offerings in a competitive Northeast casino market.
What Players Can Expect
The new space features automated sign-up devices to speed up game entry. Thirty-seven TV screens will provide live sports and poker viewing, keeping players engaged. DraftKings sportsbook kiosks are placed nearby for convenient sports betting between hands. The Fox Tower setting gives a premium feel compared to older casino areas.
How This Fits Foxwoods’ Bigger Picture
On March 27, Foxwoods entered an exclusive partnership with ITV America to film seasons 23 and 24 of Hell’s Kitchen on-site. This is part of the “resort revolution” strategy, turning the casino into a full entertainment destination. The poker room launch aligns with this vision, combining modern tech, sports viewing, and nearby betting to keep guests engaged longer. Regional competitors are likely observing, and successful tech upgrades may inspire similar implementations elsewhere.
For poker players, this means better amenities, faster game entry, and 37 screens to catch all the action while playing.
