Mitchell Etess, the casino's top officer, announced Tuesday that the layoff will affect 475 of the company's workers but 120 of them will be reassigned to other positions within the casino.
The other 355 employees will be let go permanently.
Etess said after two years of using attrition to lower the casino's more than 9,000 workers, the Mohegan Tribal Council approved the layoffs Monday.
Etess said this is the first time the casino has had mass layoffs and all affected employees will be notified by Tuesday evening.
The president also said the casino plans to close one of its two buffet restaurants and use more third-party operators for its eateries.
