Now, Foxwoods Resort is the second-biggest casino in America and sixth largest worldwide. WinStar World Resort completed its first expansion in 2007, overtaking Foxwoods for the top spot until casinos in Macau exploded. “Just about everything that you could imagine with a casino name on it is collected, and will be on display at our show,” said Jerry Vergatos, President of the Casino Collectibles Association. Foxwoods was the world’s biggest casino from 1992 to 2007. This pastime has sparked collectors’ interests in nearly everything casino related, including gaming tokens, dice, slot cards, playing cards, matchbooks, menus, dinnerware, swizzle sticks, post cards and more.
