Mohegan Sun still has two $1 million Progressive Jackpots up for Grabs on Select Table Games
UNCASVILLE, CT (February 20, 2025) – On Thursday, February 13th, a lucky Mohegan Sun guest walked away with a life-changing $1,338,736.40 jackpot. The guest was playing the optional $5 Super 4 Progressive side bet on a Blackjack table in Casino of the Earth at the time the jackpot was won.
The Super 4 Progressive side bet is offered on all Blackjack tables at Mohegan Sun and is triggered when the dealer’s hand is a Blackjack; the amount of the payout is dependent on the value and suit of both the player’s and dealer’s hand. This guest hit the top jackpot which requires the four cards in the hand to be A, K, Q, and J of diamonds. Mohegan Sun was the first casino to offer Super 4 Progressive Blackjack in 2015 and is still one of only a few casinos that offer the game across the United States.
Currently at Mohegan Sun, there are two additional one million dollar jackpots up for grabs! Pai Gow Poker (Fortune Pai Gow Progressive) and Spanish 21 (Bonus Spin Extreme Progressive) table games both have progressive jackpots over a million dollars and are growing! Guests can be in the running for one of these massive jackpots by playing the $5 side-bet.

UNCASVILLE, CT (February 4, 2025) – Mohegan Sun and Jenks Productions are thrilled to announce the return of the year’s premier Home & Garden Show, set to take place from Friday, February 14th – Sunday, February 16th, inside the 125,000 square-foot Earth Expo Center. As the longest-running regional home show, this event continues to captivate thousands of visitors annually.
This year, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to meet the renowned American business owner and star of Pawn Stars, Rick Harrison! Rick will be available at the Xfinity Booth on Saturday from Noon – 3:00pm and Sunday from 11:00am – 2:00pm.
Rick Harrison, the charismatic star of Pawn Stars, might not watch his TV show, but he lives the dream daily as a master negotiator, loyal friend, and family man. From selling bags at swap meets to running the world-famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Rick’s journey from humble beginnings to global TV stardom is as remarkable as it is inspiring. His love of learning and sharp business acumen turned a quirky family dynamic and a unique pawn shop into one of cable TV’s most beloved shows, airing in over 150 countries. Whether bartending at Rick’s Rollin’ Smoke Barbeque & Tavern or giving back to the Las Vegas community, Rick remains a down-to-earth guy whose vision and humor have captured hearts worldwide.
One of the biggest draws to the Home & Garden Show every year is the education courses. These events are usually standing-room only, so a second training room has been added to cover and allow enough space for our amazing speakers and guests. This year, the Home & Garden Show will have 21 individual lecturers doing 29 separate courses on all kinds of interesting topics. The Home & Garden Show will feature diverse speakers presenting on various topics to educate and inspire attendees. From raising chickens to beekeeping, rain gardens to seed saving, and sustainable gardening to healing harvests, there will be something for everyone interested in enhancing their home and garden endeavors.
The Jenks Productions’ Home & Garden Shows have been the go-to destination for home remodeling and improvement ideas for over four decades.
