Jason Guyot
Guyot has been interim CEO since April 2020 and has led Foxwoods through the financial crisis brought on by the COVID0-19 pandemic.
“Jason Guyot is the right leader with the right vision to drive Foxwoods through its next phase of evolution, and we are equally proud that Jason is our first Pequot CEO,” said Rodney Butler, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. “What Jason has done over the past twelve months has been remarkable, taking the helm of Foxwoods at the onset of the pandemic, building safety guidelines from the ground up to ensure guests feel safe, and championing a new kind of culture for our team members.”
Mashantucket Eastern Connecticut was again a focal point of Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout Monday, with Hartford HealthCare executives and a top state official attending a late-morning news conference marking the opening of a mass vaccination site at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Some 1,000 teachers and school staff had been vaccinated at the site the previous day.
State Attorney General William Tong used the occasion to urge immigrants to get vaccinated, noting they needn’t provide a Social Security number, immigration papers, a passport or a green card before rolling up their sleeves. They need only meet the age standard, currently 55 years or older, he said.
Poker at Foxwoods, the largest poker room on the East Coast, is now open from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. seven days a week, with new COVID-19 safety measures in place.
Foxwoods Resort Casino announced it will reopen its poker room today, and other several attractions later this month that have been closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mashantucket casino will also reopen its Rainmaker Casino, Live@Atrium Bar and Topgolf Swing Suite, an indoor golf arcade, Foxwoods said.
Reopenings come amid increased demand as COVID-19 vaccines are distributed and some state restrictions are being curtailed.
