Mission
The mission of the Division of
Special Revenue is to ensure the highest degree of integrity in the conduct of
all forms of legalized gaming within the State of Connecticut and the federally
recognized Tribal Nations within the State.
We accomplish our mission by licensing or permitting all individuals and
entities that are involved with legalized gambling and by monitoring and
educating to ensure compliance with the gaming laws and the Tribal-State
agreements. We ensure public confidence
in the honesty and fairness of all facets of gambling for the highest quality
benefit to the State.
The Division of Special Revenue is the Connecticut State Agency responsible for regulating legal gaming. Established as the Commission on Special Revenue, pursuant to Public Act 865 of the 1971 session of the General Assembly, the Agency became the Division of Special Revenue following executive reorganization effective July 1, 1979. Since its inception, the Agency has provided the operational and regulatory framework for each form of authorized gaming and has acted so as to ensure the highest levels of integrity for the activities that have returned $675,087,130 to the State during fiscal year 2008-2009.
Headed by an Executive Director, appointed by the governor, the Division works cooperatively with the five-member State Gaming Policy Board, also appointed by the Governor, to implement and administer the statutory provisions governing legal gaming, contained in Chapters 98, 226, 226b, 226c and 229a of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Current activities subject to Division oversight include the games of the Connecticut Lottery operated by the quasi-public Connecticut Lottery Corporation, and the statewide off-track betting operated by Autotote Enterprises. In addition, the charitable gaming activities of bingo, sealed ticket sales, bazaars, and raffles, conducted by nonprofit organizations, are subject to registration, permit, and regulatory requirements of the Division.
Pursuant to Tribal-State agreements, the Division also licenses the gaming related workers and registers the gaming service enterprises of the Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, and the Mohegan Sun, in Montville, operated by the Mohegan Tribe. The Division also participates in oversight of the Tribal slot and/or video facsimile machine activity.
Statutory Authority
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 54, 98, 226, 226b, 226c, and 229a of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Division of Special Revenue regulates the State’s legalized gaming activities, ensuring compliance with current statutes and regulations, assures gaming integrity, and licenses individuals and entities involved in legalized gambling. The Division affords all individuals and entities entitled to a compliance meeting or hearing due process through a fair and objective forum. All parties are provided the opportunity to present evidence and testimony addressing statutory and regulatory violations, to determine suitability of applicants, licensees, permittees, and patrons, resulting in a fair and reasonable determination of the matter.
Affirmative Action
The Division of Special Revenue, operating under a plan approved by the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. The Division did not knowingly do business with any bidder, contractor, sub-contractor, supplier of materials, or licensee who discriminates against members of any class protected under C.G.S. Sec. 4a-60.
Under the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 12-557(c), the Gaming Policy Board works in cooperation with the Division of Special Revenue to implement and administer the statutory and regulatory provisions governing legalized gambling. Although the Board and the Division work cooperatively on many matters, the Board has certain statutory authority beyond the scope of the Division. In general, the Division oversees day-to-day activities in regulation, licensing, and integrity assurance matters related to gaming, and the Board addresses issues of longer-range policy development.
Members of the Gaming Policy Board during the 2008-2009 fiscal years were: William F. Farrell of Madison, Chairman; Richard Antonetti of Watertown; Paul F. Pendergast of Bloomfield; Gayle A. Russell of Vernon; Edward F. Osswalt of Rocky Hill.
The Gaming Policy Board held seven meetings in fiscal year 2008-2009. Significant actions taken include the following:
Resolved, That Autotote Enterprises, Inc.’s request of a new OTB facility at 89 Roses Mill Road in Milford, CT., that includes Sunday wagering, is granted.
Resolved, That in the matter of Benn & Ellen LLC the Executive Director’s decision be sustained and affirmed by the Board.
Resolved, That Autotote Enterprises, Inc.’s request to relocate Torrington simulcast OTB facility from 1703B East Main Street to 131 Water Street, Torrington is approved.
Resolved, That the Division’s decision in the matter of Damion Duhaney be affirmed.
Resolved, That Autotote Enterprises, Inc.’s request to establish a non-simulcast OTB facility located at J.D. Coopers Restaurant at 146 Park Road in Putnam, CT be granted conditioned with receipt of approval from the Division’s Executive Director.
Resolved, That the proposed Administrative Regulations Governing Amusement And Recreation Bingo For Parent Teacher Associations be approved.

Public Service
Regulation:
The Division of Special Revenue regulates Connecticut’s authorized forms of gambling, Tribal Casino gambling, pari-mutuel wagering, State Lottery ticket sales, and Charitable Games.
Licensing:
The Division of Special Revenue licenses, registers, or permits individuals, organizations, and vendors to be employed by, or contracted with gaming licensees or permittees within the State, and those businesses authorized to sell Lottery tickets. The Division assures that only suitable individuals work within the gaming industry in Connecticut. Each and every person working in any capacity involving gambling is licensed by the Division. This also applies to corporations, businesses and other entities involved in the industry. There are approximately 19,000 active licenses currently in Connecticut’s gaming industry. Upon initial application, license applicants are investigated for criminal and financial history, and again upon each renewal. The licensing process includes security background checks coordinated by the Division and conducted by internal Division staff, State Police personnel, and Federal law enforcement agencies.
Administrative Hearings:
The Division provides due process and an
opportunity to be heard to those individuals or entities denied initial
licensure, whose current license is in the process of being revoked, or who
have regulatory issues, pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.
Ensuring compliance with law:
The Division ensures compliance with statutes, regulations, and procedures. In general, this is accomplished by maintaining on-site coverage to ensure statutory compliance, to be available and responsive to patron inquiries, and by research and investigative work. On-site coverage with permanent staff is maintained at the tribal casinos, Sports Haven and the Windsor Locks Off-Track Betting (OTB) facilities. Field staff visits lottery agents and licensees and Charitable Games permittees as well as other OTB facilities on an unannounced, random basis. The Division is a law enforcement agency, and does have staff members with police powers.
Ensuring the integrity of games (fair chance to win):
The Division tests wagering systems and related equipment to ensure the integrity of the games. The functional foundation that allows legalized gambling to exist and flourish is integrity assurance. The Connecticut public must not be exposed to gaming without a reasonable assurance that the games are operated fairly, and that every patron has a fair chance to win. The public’s interest is served only when gaming is conducted in an honest fashion. The Division conducts both field investigations and central office investigations, and monitors operations to assure that all gambling activities are consistently conducted in a fair and honest manner, and to detect and prevent any type of fraudulent activity in gaming.
Auditing/monitoring:
The Division conducts annual independent audits to ensure operations are compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements. In addition, the Division collects pari-mutuel and regulation fees, and pays grants to municipalities.
Education:
Conducted 12,900 visits to lottery agents to insure compliance with the regulations and to insure that they know how to obtain certain reports off the system.
A total of 702 pre-event, instructional and customer service meetings were conducted by the in-house and field staffs of the Charitable Games Unit to educate non profit permittees with statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to their permitted activities, and to assist the permittees in addressing regulatory concerns.
The Division of Special Revenue supports treatment and rehabilitation for chronic gamblers through its public awareness activities, pursuant to Section 12-563(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes, which provides that the Division shall inform the public of the availability of treatment programs for chronic gamblers. The Division also insures that funding for such programs is available, pursuant to Section 17a-713(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The Division is an active member of the Connecticut Committee for Problem Gambling Awareness. The committee prepares and distributes informational materials designed to inform the public of the programs available for the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of compulsive gamblers.
Security Services:
The Division’s security services worked in fiscal year 2008-2009 to ensure public trust and confidence by:
- Conducting background investigations of licensees and vendors of the gaming industry.

- The Division advised Foxwoods casino that their promotion referred to as “Free Play” was a violation of the Memorandum of Understanding. Foxwoods Casino had initiated a promotional give-away which initially involved Foxwoods mailing a coupon representing a dollar value to patrons in their Wampum Rewards program. The “Free Play” coupons were exchanged at the casino for a voucher that could be used to play slot machines. Foxwoods did not include the value of the coupons in the slot drop however; they did deduct all prizes paid as a result of the promotional play from slot revenue, effectively reducing the State’s share of the slot win. This promotion later developed an electronic download of promotional credits handled electronically the same way as the mailing of coupons. Mohegan Sun also developed a similar electronic promotion called e-Bonus and agreed to be bound by the decision rendered in the Foxwoods case. The Division, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun are currently in litigation over the accounting of these promotions.
