Not surprised at all.
They lost their biggest (February) weekend at Mohegan due to the blizzard. The cancellation of the Bon Jovi concert, and a travel ban in MA and CT pretty much killed would would have been an otherwise jam packed weekend (Bon Jovi + Chinese New Year celebrations). Even the Chinese buses cancelled service, that weekend.

That is 2011 vs 2012. What about 2012 v 2013?

I think this was 2012 results, so the blizzard and Bon Jovi and even Chinese New Year should not a factor.
