A potential rivalry between two casinos on opposite sides of the globe, both claiming to be the world’s biggest, has been defused by Foxwoods officials.

 

The Connecticut casino proclaims itself to be the world’s largest, a title also taken by the Sands casino in Macau, China, but officials have moved to rule out any possible dispute.

 

A spokesman for the casino preferred to concentrate on the US casino’s attractions rather than compare it to its East Asian rival.

 

“We concentrate on quality, not quantity. We focus on what we do, and at what we do we are the best,” the spokesman said to the Norwich Bulletin. 

 

The paper reports that, in any case, the Sands Macau occupies 227,000 square feet and is such is smaller than both the 340,000 square feet of Foxwoods and fellow Connecticut casino Mohegan Sun, which occupies 300,000 square feet. 

 

But the Sands Macau does hold 740 tables, making it the world’s biggest casino by that criterion.
