Mohegan Sun is excited to once again partner with IGT, a global leader in the design, development and
manufacturing of gaming machines and systems products, to bring thrilling slot machines with new Center Stage Duo™ technology to the gaming floor. Ten IGT Ghostbusters™ and ten IGT Dark Knight™ penny machines are now located by Wombi Rock in Casino of the Sky.
“Who ya gonna call for an ectoplasmic good time?” — IGT’s new slot phenomenon- Ghostbusters Video Slot Machines, the first of its kind to hit the East Coast. During base game play, expanding wilds ooze with winnings and scatter wilds frighten. There’s definitely something here. Guests will watch for Slimer, demon dogs and other ghostly aberrations haunting the game with extra credits, wilds and multipliers. In the bonus gateway, players can enter a world of paranormal progressives where Slimer picks from several bonus events including five progressive levels displayed on a shared 55″ LCD screen. Video clip integration and symbol animations feature well-loved and familiar Ghostbusters movie clips and voice overs.

The battle for Gotham city is about to take place in Casino of the Sky with IGT’s answer to the recent Batman phenomenon, The Dark Knight™ Video Slots. Guests can play the game as Batman or the Joker and be involved in immersive group play entertainment with strong thematic graphics and fan-favorite icons. Appropriately named, the game’s must-see Battle for Gotham community bonus plays out on the big screen and is a high speed car chase between Batman and Joker. Two very unique pick-style bonuses, Agents of Chaos and the Sonar bonus incorporate familiar scenes from the film with multiple winning outcomes. And in the Sleight of Hand bonus, swiping your hand across the screen flips over Joker’s cards to reveal many worthwhile surprises. Look for the popular bat signal to make an appearance as well as Two Face’s coin flip. Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyANd79MATs to view an informative YouTube video of this machine.
Both the IGT Ghostbusters™ and Dark Knight™ penny machines use new Center Stage Duo™ technology which brings pure entertainment value and immersive experience in a two-seat configuration. They feature 55” overhead LCD screens positioned over two Universal Slant cabinets, custom light sequences and colors specific to the theme, optional half round marquee toppers, MegaFX Surround Chairs which fully enhances the player experience with 5.1 surround sound electronics and new Universal Slant with 3D capability.
