UNCASVILLE, CT – February 9, 2022 – The first legal sports bet ever placed in Connecticut occurred at Mohegan Sun on September 29, 2021 at the Bow & Arrow Sports Bar.

One of those betting kiosks will be located on the all-new mezzanine level that has 22 luxury seats. In total, this new sportsbook offers up 222 total seats and a full bar that is centrally located.

Additionally, Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook is still home to a Race Book.
“We’re beyond excited about this new venue which completely transforms Mohegan Sun’s old Race Book space into one of the largest and most dynamic FanDuel Sportsbook’s in the United States” –said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “The all-new Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook, led by Sportsbook General Manager Brad Bryant, becomes the premier venue to wager on and catch a game while enjoying top-notch service inside an incredibly immersive atmosphere.
