On January 20, 2005, the company won a bid for the President Casino Broadwater Resort for $82 million in a bankruptcy action.[2] Foxwoods Development abandoned plans to purchase 15 acres (6.1 ha) of land from Broadwater for a casino on April 26, 2006.[3]

In June 2020, the company announced an agreement with Dakia Entertainment Hospitality to develop a $1.2 billion, 266-acre entertainment facility by summer 2023 in Biloxi, MI.[4]
