Aristocrat Gaming’s Popular Dragon Link™ Made a Millionaire in July while the all-new Thunder Empire™ Joins Mohegan Sun’s Hold & Spin Slot Zone
Mohegan Sun is excited to announce a new addition to Casino of the Sky by way of the thrilling new offering, Thunder Empire™ byAristocrat Gaming. These new games officially launched on June 30th, and not soon after, another popular Aristocrat Gaming title, Dragon Link™, made a millionaire after a lucky guest from New York hit a jackpot for a massive $1,557,777 – one of the largest jackpots ever at Mohegan Sun! This big win came in Casino of the Sky, not far from the Hold & Spin Slot Zone where guests can also now play the all-new Thunder Empire.
Packed with vibrant visuals, engaging gameplay and the excitement of Hold & Spin bonus features, Thunder Empire gives guests another gaming experience at Mohegan Sun. The game entertains players with a richly themed world inspired by the power and majesty of an ancient empire. Featuring dynamic animations and multiple opportunities to unlock bonus rewards, the game combines Aristocrat’s signature Hold & Spin mechanics with big-time jackpot potential.
Designed for both seasoned slot enthusiasts and casual players alike, Thunder Empire players can activate the game’s Hold & Spin feature by landing six or more designated bonus symbols. Once triggered, players receive three re-spins and have the opportunity to collect additional bonus symbols while maintaining momentum toward larger rewards. Every new bonus symbol resets the re-spin counter, keeping the excitement alive as players pursue jackpots and bonus prizes.
Mohegan Sun continues to offer one of the largest and most innovative selections of slots in North America. Guests can also maximize their play through Momentum, Mohegan’s industry-leading free rewards program that allows members to earn points, and unlock exclusive offers throughout the casino and resort.
The $1,557,777 Dragon Link™jackpot is the largest amount of money won on a single slot machine spin since a separate lucky guest won a whopping $1,770, 327 on IGT’s Whitney Houston™ game on March 10, 2026.
