I think it would make sense to point poker fans who visit this page to http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/Foxwoods , but I don't know what would be a legitimate (non-spammy) way to do so. Comments? - PhilipR 20:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Info Box

Does anyone else think that an Infobox Frame similar to the one on Mohegan Sun should also be added to the Foxwoods article? Misterrick 04:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)Reply


Largest Casino?

There are several Macau (Chinese) nationalists on Wikipedia who believe that the Sands Macau Casino is the largest in the world. The Sands Macau gaming floor measures approximately 229,000 feet, whereas the Foxwoods boasts 340,000 feet. They are making contradictory claims HERE and HERE. They are not backing down. Help me out guys. VietGrant 08:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

what do you mean by "Macau Chinese nationalist"? can I say you are an "American Kansas" nationalist with arrogant attitude? can I say that I have one gaming table inside the building where is larger than 1 million square feet, is the largest casino in the world? 70.52.64.82 02:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
By the numbers, Foxwoods is still the largest by floor space. However, Sands Macau does claim 740 table games compared to Foxwoods 380 (that's 95% more). Foxwoods also has 7,000 slot/video poker machines. Sands Macau claims 1,254 slot machines, so it is not a direct comparison. I'm still inclined to say Foxwoods is the largest casino in the world because it's measurement is in an SI unit, whereas Sands Macau is claiming the title on number of table games, which isn't a unit of measure... just a quantity. However, the Sands Corporation does claim the title in this press release. --Meadowbrook 05:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
slot machines are deliberately not expanded as Asians don't feel interested in it. Again, I don't care if the casino is larger than 1 billion square feet, if it has lesser tables, it doesn't mean anything. Standard casino only count tables, but not the numbers of bingo, slot machines, video poker. Why not put one table in the baseball stadium and claim it is the largest casino in the world? I am still inclined to say Sands Casino is the largest in the world. 70.52.64.82 05:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't deny that Sands Macau can claim largest title, but you have to put the qualifier on it that it is measured by number of table games. Similarly, Foxwoods needs the qualifier that its as measured by gaming space. --Meadowbrook 09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

What do I mean by nationalist? Nationalist: devotion to the interests or culture of a particular nation including promoting the interests of one country over those of others. That's what I mean. To me, it does not matter WHERE the casino in question is located. America, China, Brazil, I DON'T CARE. I care about Wikipedia having accurate information, whereas it has become abundantly clear that you are here to promote your agenda at any cost. I don't care about Foxwoods. I don't care about Sands. I care about truth. If you could find a third party to back up your claim, this debate would end immediately. But you can't, or you won't. NEITHER casino has the right to make the claim without an objective declaration from a third party. VietGrant 08:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
