Gaming Floor

Mohegan Sun’s gaming floor holds 5,532 slot machines and 377 table game positions. The table spread includes 3 Card Poker, Baccarat (Midi-Baccarat and Mini-Baccarat configurations), Caribbean Stud Poker, Craps, Electronic Keno, Electronic Tables, Four Card Poker, Jai Alai wagering, Let It Ride, Pai Gow Poker, Pai Gow Tiles, Racebook, Roulette, Sic Bo, Blackjack (via Spanish 21 and other variants), Texas Hold’em Bonus, Video Poker, and a Wheel of Fortune (money wheel).

Midi-Baccarat is a medium-stakes Baccarat format played at a full-size table but with fewer positions than the traditional high-limit Baccarat pit. Mini-Baccarat runs at the standard small-table format with a dealer managing all cards. The availability of both alongside standard Baccarat gives Mohegan Sun a tiered Baccarat offering that accommodates a full range of bet levels. Texas Hold’em Bonus is a heads-up Hold’em variant in which players receive a bonus payout for premium holdings regardless of the dealer’s hand. Wheel of Fortune (Big Six Wheel) is a vertical money wheel with sections paying between 1:1 and 40:1.

The 377-table count is among the largest gaming table operations in the United States, representing one of the broadest simultaneous game menus available at any single casino complex in the Northeast.

Poker Room

Mohegan Sun’s 42-table poker room spreads 7 Card Stud, Limit Hold’em, Mixed Games, NL Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Texas Hold’em cash games with a regular tournament calendar.

7 Card Stud and Omaha Hi-Lo alongside NL Hold’em and Mixed Games give the Mohegan Sun poker room one of the deeper format menus in New England. Mixed Games rotate through multiple formats — H.O.R.S.E. (Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven-Card Stud, Eight-or-Better) and other combinations — attracting experienced players comfortable across multiple game families. Omaha Hi-Lo (Omaha 8 or Better) is the split-pot format in which both the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand share the pot. The 42-table capacity supports running multiple formats simultaneously at multiple stake levels. Tournament events are a regular feature at this scale. Current stakes and schedules are at mohegansun.com.

Specialty Games: Sic Bo and Jai Alai

Sic Bo is a Chinese dice game originating in ancient China and played widely across Asia and in Western casinos that cater to or attract Chinese-American and Asian international visitors. Three dice are rolled inside a sealed cage or shaker; players bet on the outcome of the roll using a layout that covers totals from 4 to 17, specific triples, any triple (Hi/Lo), specific doubles, and individual number appearances. Sic Bo at Mohegan Sun is a reflection of the casino’s position as a major destination for the greater New York metropolitan area, which includes a large Chinese-American and South Asian community. Sic Bo is available at a limited number of US casinos.

Jai Alai wagering at Mohegan Sun is a continuation of Connecticut’s historic relationship with the Basque sport. Jai alai — played on a court called a fronton using a curved wicker basket to hurl and catch a hard rubber ball at speeds exceeding 180 mph — was a staple of Connecticut wagering from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Connecticut once had multiple jai alai frontons operating concurrently. Mohegan Sun continues to offer jai alai wagering as part of its racebook operations.

Momentum Rewards

Mohegan Sun operates the Momentum Rewards loyalty program. Members earn reward credits through slot machine, table game, and poker room play, redeemable for casino benefits, hotel, dining, entertainment, and golf. The program uses a tier structure; higher tiers unlock benefits across the full Mohegan Sun resort complex. Promotions and events are maintained at mohegansun.com and on the Mohegan Sun Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube channels.

Tribal Context

Mohegan Sun is owned and operated by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA), the gaming enterprise of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut — a federally recognized tribe whose reservation lies in Uncasville, Montville Township, New London County, Connecticut. The Mohegan are an Algonquian-speaking people of the Thames River valley, with documented history in southeastern Connecticut extending back centuries before European contact. The Mohegan Tribe received federal recognition in 1994, and Mohegan Sun opened at the reservation in 1996 under the tribal-state compact with Connecticut, authorized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988.
