Craps Casinos and Gambling in Connecticut

Craps is offered at two casinos in Connecticut:

When I think of gambling and casinos, Connecticut is not the first place that comes to mind. When I think of the state, I think of green grass, hills, and quiet communities full of the kind of salt-of-the-earth families that make up the American heartland. But in spite of my idyllic perception of what life in CT. might be like, the casino gambling industry is a hopping business there.

Connecticut might not have the most casinos in their state, but the two casinos which are located there are two of the largest casinos in the world. Since there are only two casinos in the entire state, these casinos are fierce competitors, much like Target and Wal-mart, and they're both constantly expanding and trying to one-up the other facility. This makes both properties attractive to gamblers.

The casinos in Connecticut hold frequent slot tournaments and competitions. The Mohegan Sun also holds a weekly $100 buy-in blackjack tournament. The perks and rewards for players are what you might expect also - an excellent value, again the result of such a competitive marketplace with two large competing gambling halls.

All gambling in Connecticut is regulated and overseen by the Connecticut Gaming Policy Board, which is in turn overseen by the Department of Special Revenue. Their office is located in Newington, CT. In addition to providing oversight for Connecticut's two casinos, the Board also looks after the state's bingo, greyhound racing, and charitable raffles, as well as any other gambling-related concerns in the state.
