Neither the Foxwoods Resort Casino nor the Mohegan Sun Casino, that are positioned in hard-hit southeastern Connecticut, lost power during Sandy, and both report their hotels have been filled to capacity all week.

‘‘We’ve had prior experiences with Atlantic City casinos shutting down and there’s a tiny bit of a bump up,’’ said Bobby Soper, the president and chief executive at Mohegan Sun. ‘‘We do see that we do get patrons that get to encounter our property as an option, who otherwise wouldn’t have tried us out.’’

Both Connecticut casinos remained open even through the height with the storm, although a lot of their shops and restaurants had been shuttered.

Foxwoods promoting director Becky Carr said the resort closed two of its 4 hotels on Monday and consolidated guests in the other two on account of staffing shortages. Each casinos mentioned they excused any storm-related employee absences.

‘‘We didn’t increase reservations for that Monday and Tuesday, so we could have the staff to assistance the men and women that were right here,’’ Carr said. ‘‘But then we opened up everything and we’ve been at capacity due to the fact then.’’

Maryanne Paine, 49, of Pawtucket, R.I., was among those that weathered the storm at Foxwoods. She plus a friend decided to keep their reservations due to the fact they felt they could be safer inside the casino and wouldn’t need to be worried about losing energy, she mentioned.

‘‘We had our pick of machines,’’ she mentioned. ‘‘We had been there and getting a superb time, so we decided to stay and just continue our very good time there.’’

This was the fourth time within the 34-year history of legalized gambling in Atlantic City that those casinos were ordered closed. Considering that gambling started in Atlantic City in 1978, the only other instances the resort’s gambling halls closed had been for the duration of Hurricane Gloria in 1985; for the duration of a state government shutdown in 2006 that shuttered the casinos for 3 days, and for three days in August 2011 as Hurricane Irene approached. That closure brought on an estimated $45 million worth of lost company during what would happen to be one of the busiest weekends of your year.

All but two casinos in Atlantic City planned to be back in organization Friday.

Soper and Carr each said they are sensitive towards the plight from the Atlantic City casinos and weren’t trying to steal their prospects or capitalize on their misfortune.

But Foxwoods sent out an email to all of its patrons, letting them know they had been open this week and offering a 50 percent discount on rooms this week, some for as low as $99 a evening.

‘‘A variety of men and women took benefit of that,’’ Carr stated. ‘‘Whether it was an escape or they absolutely needed a warm shower and a hot meal, I couldn’t tell you.’’

Tino Punturiero, 49, rode out the storm at residence to help keep an eye on the property in New Fairfield, Conn., whilst his wife and daughter stayed at a hotel in the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

He stated his household enjoyed their time in the hotel, although it got a bit hectic by the day right after the storm.

‘‘They said they were restricted because of the energy predicament,’’ he mentioned. ‘‘They had a single casino open along with the food was getting sort of restricted at the end,’’ he stated.
