Refreshed casino zone is home to 250+ of the most popular slot machines featuring the Hold & Spin bonus; A Special Hold & Spin Hotel Package has also kicked-off & includes $50 in Free Slot Play!
Located between the Star Bar and the recently updated Sachem Lounge in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky is the all-new Hold & Spin Slot Zone, featuring
250+ slot machines with the exhilarating Hold & Spin bonus feature. The Hold & Spin action occurs when certain credit symbols trigger a bonus round where rewards can multiply quickly. Slot machines inside the Hold & Spin Slot Zone at Mohegan Sun with this feature include: Dragon Link (Aristocrat); Dollar Storm (Aristocrat); Ultimate Fire Link (Light & Wonder); Dragon Train (Light & Wonder); All Aboard (Konami Gaming); Cleopatra (IGT) and much more. In total, Mohegan Sun is home to more than 50 Dragon Link games alone, the most in Connecticut!
In celebration of the Hold & Spin Slot Zone in Casino of the Sky, Mohegan Sun has also launched a hotel package for travelers 21+. With The Hold & Spin Slot Play Package, at check-in guests will receive a $50 Free Slot Play voucher as part of their stay. Booking is possible through May 31, 2024 and travel dates for this package are available through July 31, 2024. For more details, guests can click HERE or navigate to the hotel packages tab on mohegansun.com.
“Slots that feature the Hold & Spin Bonus are very popular, for longtime players and newcomers alike,” -said Jeff Hamilton, President & GM of Mohegan Sun “Creating this hub that offers hundreds of these fun games only made sense. We’re excited to have more guests experience it, and we’re giving $50 in Free Slot Play to do just that as part of the Hold & Spin Slot Play Package!”
The Hold & Spin Slot Zone is a casino floor redesign with convenience and thrills in mind. The zone sits near other popular attractions at Mohegan Sun, including the Michael Jordan owned Mexican restaurant, Sol Toro, Vista Lounge at Wombi Rock and Sachem’s Lounge, which recently completed a major renovation. The most recent addition to the Hold & Spin Slot Zone at Mohegan Sun is Huff N’ Even More Puff, made by Light & Wonder.
Guests playing Hold & Spin Bonus games are seeking to get special symbols during regular spins. On a game like Dragon Link, a player would need to spin at least six orbs to trigger a bonus round. Players can then collect as many coin symbols as possible within this bonus round. Based on a player’s credit and denomination selections while playing, bonus money can add up fast on Hold & Spin Bonus games. Grand Jackpots can be won when players get 15 orbs in the bonus round, or when one of the orbs stops and displays: GRAND.
In late March, a jackpot of nearly $100,000 was won on a Dragon Link machine in the Hold & Spin Slot Zone. There is also a Dragon Link HD Progressive in Casino of the Sky that is awaiting a lucky guest to hit it big for $1.3 million.
In total, Mohegan Sun is home to nearly 4,000 slot machines across Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky. In the 2023 Strictly Slot Magazine “Best of Slots Awards” special issue, Mohegan Sun was named Best Overall Casino. Mohegan Sun also won “Best Casino Hotel” for the sixth consecutive year in 2023 by way of USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
