Mohegan Sun has withdrawn a lawsuit against an National Hockey League team owner it claimed failed to pay a $900,000 gambling debt.
The withdrawal, filed Friday in New London Superior Court, provides no information about the terms of any settlement the casino may have reached with Eugene Melnyk, the Canadian billionaire who owns the Ottawa Senators.
Asked if Mohegan Sun recovered the debt it claimed Melnyk incurred in 2017, Houston Lowry, an attorney for the casino, said his client had instructed him not to comment on the suit.
Attorneys for Melnyk did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Mohegan Sun filed the suit in July 2019. A filing six months later indicated the parties had tentatively resolved the issue.
