Foxwoods also revealed it is planning to open a new high-stakes bingo hall, convert the casino’s existing bingo hall into a 75,000-square-foot convention center and renovate the casino’s main entrance. Plans call for the Great Wolf Lodge at Mashantucket to open adjacent to the casino in 2024. Great Wolf Resorts is investing most of the capital in the project, which will be built in an empty parking area between the casino’s Rainmaker entrance and the Pequot Outpost gas station/convenience store on Foxwoods Boulevard, according to Butler. A portion of Trolley Lane Boulevard will be relocated to accommodate the project. Great Wolf Resorts bills itself as the leading developer of indoor water park resorts in the U.S. and Canada. The new high-stakes bingo hall, scheduled to open in the spring, will be located in the former Festival Casino area. It will include more than 30,000 square feet of event space, seat more than 2,200 people and offer bigger prize pools, Guyot said. The new Rainmaker Expo Center, which will be built in the existing Bingo Hall, will accommodate trade shows, corporate meetings and sporting events.
