After years of unparalleled success drawing gamblers from across New England and New York, the casino began struggling with increased competition and slackening demand. Foxwoods completed a major, costly expansion with the 30-story MGM Grand hotel and casino at the height of the recession in 2008. The resort has four hotels, more than 6,300 slot machines and 360 tables with 15 different types of games in six casinos.<br /><br />Here you have a "Tribe" that actually treats all its members with respect for who they are, but fell short on "Operational Expertise." You can't keep running up bills you can't cover. 4 hotels, and six casinos', and going up against other casinos' that have been built in and around your "Gaming Area,".."Diminishing Profits," and an unsastainable percap, spelled "Trouble." Whoever has been doing your books, and the leadership that oversaw all of this, had to have seen it coming. Did they "Cover Their Eyes" and think it would go away? They, actually, let this get out of hand and didn't ask for help? So what now? What are the "Options?" The people that put up the "Money," for all this, are now going to come out of the "Woodwork," and what happens next.....??????
