MASHANTUCKET, CT -- Foxwoods Resort Casino has amassed an incredible 37 first place wins in the July ``Best of
Gaming'' issue of Casino Player magazine, clearly establishing itself as the best Native American casino and one
of the best casino properties overall in the United States.
``This truly is a great achievement for our remarkable staff,'' said Bill Sherlock, Foxwoods' new president and
CEO. ``The readers of Casino Player magazine have helped us make history, and it's a sure bet that we're going
to work even harder to maintain this enviable position.''
Foxwoods garnered first place for everything from the Best Overall Hotel Casino, Best Promotions, Best Race/Sports
Book and Best Dealers to Best Steakhouse, Best Buffet, Best Casino Bar, Best Spa and Best Must-See Attraction -
the Pequot Museum. It is the 5th annual readers poll for Casino Player magazine, one of the gaming industry's widest
circulated and most respected consumer publications.
According to the magazine, ``Everything about (Foxwoods) is superlative -- the most slot machines, the largest
casino, the most successful casino. And yet Foxwoods, owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, is not a daunting
place . . . Truly an unbelievable place that keeps on getting better.''

With more than 5,800 slot machines and 350 table games, Foxwoods Resort Casino offers gaming in a relaxing atmosphere,
