UNCASVILLE, CT (February 25, 2026) – A Connecticut resident visited Mohegan Sun on Sunday, February 22nd and walked away with over $1.7 million! The lucky guest was playing on an Aristocrat Gaming™ Jackpot Buffalo™ slot game in Casino of the Earth when they hit the ‘MEGA GRAND JACKPOT’ in the amount of $1,759,779.63. The guest was betting $5 per spin at the time the jackpot was won. This marks the largest slot jackpot win at Mohegan Sun since 2022, when a guest won $3.8 million.
Mohegan Sun’s two unique casinos, Casino of the Sky and Casino of the Earth, feature nearly 4,000 total slot games, as well as high-limit lounges and exclusive rewards while playing through the award-winning loyalty program, Momentum. Casino of the Sky is also home to Mohegan Sun’s most popular slot area, the Hold & Spin Slot Zone, which is home to more than 250 slot games like Dragon Link™ and Dollar Storm™ that have the exhilarating Hold & Spin bonus feature.
This past Wednesday, Mohegan Sun also became the first casino entertainment destination to debut the all-new Spooky Link Grand™ slot games by Aristocrat Gaming. At the debut, Mohegan Sun guests enjoyed a free pull event, frighteningly fun photos with the Mo’ Mummy™ character, and the chance at winning $100,000 in cash prizes.
In 2025, Mohegan Sun also unveiled the Sky Slot Tournament Zone located near The Cabaret Theatre. This tournament zone also now features self-service kiosks which allow pre-registered guests to print their tournament entry for immediate play. At the center of this dynamic space is a stunning 38-foot video wall, delivering real-time scoring, live promotions, and immersive television content. From $100,000 tournaments to the Hot Summer Fun Slot Series, this tournament zone sets a new standard for engagement and entertainment during Mohegan Sun’s slot tournaments!
