Why are slot machines only at the casinos and not anywhere else in the state of Connecticut?

You can only play slot machines at casinos in Connecticut due to a settlement of legal disputes over whether Native American tribes have the right to operate video facsimile/slot machines on reservations located within Connecticut. In this settlement, the Mashantucket Pequots and the Mohegans negotiated revenue sharing agreements with the state of Connecticut. Each tribe contributes 25 percent of their video facsimile/slot machines revenue to the state of Connecticut.
