UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A gaming slump is eating into the profits of Mohegan Sun, but the 2,000 tribal members who draw benefits from the massive casino aren’t feeling the pinch — not with money coming in from a burgeoning Mohegan Tribe gaming empire.

Under a strategy that began before the downturn hit Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun, one of the world’s biggest casinos, the tribe’s gaming company is running casinos in Pennsylvania and Atlantic City, N.J., and pursuing more projects in states including Washington, New York, and Massachusetts.
