Guests Can Also Enjoy Blackjack, Roulette and More Within Two Popular Hybrid Stadium Gaming Sections at Mohegan Sun
Mohegan Sun is enhancing the gaming floor with the debut of Interblock’s Crapless Craps in Casino of the Sky. This innovative take on a classic table game offers a fun experience designed to appeal to both seasoned players and those new to Craps.
Incorporating 2, 3, 11 and 12 as point numbers for added excitement, Crapless Craps is designed for ease of play, featuring a high-definition, touch-responsive interface and a mechanical dice generator that sits at the top of the game. With $5 minimum bets, the player experience is interactive, intuitive and fully self-paced, allowing guests to control the action while enjoying the anticipation of every roll. This personalized gameplay also provides an approachable entry point for those new to Craps. The “cropless” aspect of the game is due to an alteration in the come-out math that eliminates instant losses on the Pass Line.
“Our goal is to ensure every guest feels comfortable jumping into the excitement of table games,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & GM of Mohegan Sun. “Crapless Craps, along with our Hybrid Stadium Gaming areas, are two fun and easy ways to achieve this—giving our guests a seamless and flexible way to learn popular twists on classic table games, all with low minimum bet options.”
Located in Casino of the Sky—just beyond the high-energy live Craps tables, past Johnny Rockets—the new offering complements another popular and innovative Mohegan Sun offering, Hybrid Stadium Gaming, which features a live-dealer, multi-table experience from a single player station. Guests can seamlessly switch between and wager on multiple games at once via a user-friendly touchscreen, with options including Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Three Card Poker and more.

Back-To-Back Shows at Mohegan Sun Arena November 13th & 14th
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 1, 2026) ––Goose has announced full details of their upcoming fall headline tour. Dates begin November 3rd at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre and continue through the entire month, stopping at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th. The shows will begin at 7:00pm.
Tickets to see the Wilton Connecticut based band at Mohegan Sun will go on sale Friday, June 5th, 2026, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, June 6th. $1 from every ticket sold on Goose’s 2026 Summer Tour will benefit Western Sun Foundation (WSF), a volunteer-run 501(c)3 supporting grassroots nonprofits in the cities the band visits. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.goosetheband.com/tour.
The new dates mark the impending arrival of their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, out June 12th on No Coincidence Records. A fully immersive world of sound that ingeniously captures what it feels like to move through today’s overstimulated, hyperconnected society, it includes such evocative new singles as “Torero” and the rapturous “Good2B,” both available everywhere now. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “groovy and discombobulated…a vintage Goose gem,” “Good2B” followed an array of cryptic teases from the band, including a hilarious video posted to social media starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus, The Office, Girls), who then accompanied the band as they sat courtside at the New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Lacy sat between the four members of Goose, each of whom wore bright yellow hoodies spelling out “FACE” – a key lyrical component of their fan favorite song, “Big Modern!” The teaser video and MSG appearance capped off two weeks of speculation inspired by guerrilla marketing in major US cities featuring the words “BIG MODERN!” along with a BIGMODERN.com website displaying Morse code for mysterious phrases and interactive messaging based on Goose fans’ thoughts across social media.
“As I see it, all these ideas we’ve been playing with are an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today’s world,” Goose singer-guitarist Rick Mitarotonda told Rolling Stone. “Over-stated guerrilla marketing campaign with zero context or direct connection to anything, video of a five-minute rant from an unhinged executive, showing up at an NBA game in ridiculous sweatsuits…The album is a dispatch from interesting times, without judgment or superiority. We’re all in it the same – the exhilarating, disorienting experience of constantly being so ‘connected’. The overstimulating, high-resolution world of content streaming directly into your brain, in real time, all the time. Synthetic, prepackaged human emotion on demand for your entertainment. The nightly doomscroll bliss. The relentless worship of the projection of an image of self to the world. Identity as a brand. Your FACE… on your FACE. Somehow, more becomes less. Something is lost, but we’re not totally sure what it is. It’s awesome, and it’s terrifying.”
Goose will continue introducing the world of BIG MODERN! to fans around the globe on an epic 2026 tour schedule, as they continue on their Europe and United Kingdom tour this week. Highlights of the tour thus far included sold-out two-night stands at London’s Electric Brixton (May 22nd & 23rd) and Amsterdam, NL’s Melkweg (May 27th & 28th). Coming up next is a headline show at Paris, FR’s historic Élysée-Montmartre (June 1st), and a top-billed festival performance at Aarhus, DK’s NorthSide 2026 (June 5th).
From there, Goose return to North America for their annual summer headline tour, this year featuring some of the most ambitious routing of their career thus far, reinforcing the band’s steady ascent into premier venues across the continent. 2026 Summer Tour dates begin June 13 at Toronto, ON’s RBC Amphitheatre and then continue through late August. Highlights include a two-night return to New York City’s Madison Square Garden (June 19th & 20th), along with two-night stands at Virginia Beach, VA’s The Dome (June 15th & 16th), Charleston, SC’s Firefly Distillery (June 23rd & 24th), Raleigh, NC’s Red Hat Amphitheater (June 26th & 27th), Boston, MA’s sold-out Leader Bank Pavilion (June 30th & July 1st), Saratoga Springs, NY’s SPAC (July 3rd & 4th), Bend, OR’s Hayden Homes Amphitheater (August 21st & 22nd), and Morrison, CO’s sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre (August 27th & 28th), as well as one-night-only shows at such famed venues as Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion (June 28th) and Los Angeles, CA’s The Greek Theatre (August 14th). Select dates will see Goose joined by a diverse lineup of special guests, including Julian Lage (June 13th), The Disco Biscuits (July 3rd), moe. (July 4th), Greensky Bluegrass (August 19th-21st), Buffalo Traffic Jam (August 22nd), and Theoretical Blonde (August 29th).
In addition, the seemingly indefatigable Goose – who earlier this year visited San José del Cabo, Mexico for the second edition of their Viva El Gonzo destination festival experience – will head south of the border once again in early 2027 for two top-billed sets at Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: 10 Years on the Beach, set for January 20-23, 2027 at Riviera Maya, MX’s famed Moon Palace.

Recent Jackpots Highlight the Thrill and variety of Progressive Side Bets at Mohegan Sun
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 4, 2026) – In an incredible one-week span in May, two lucky guests at Mohegan Sun each struck table gamejackpots exceeding $450,000. Both jackpots were won by players taking advantage of side bets – one on a Blackjack game through the Super 4 Progressive side bet and the other on a Four Card Poker game where the Mega Jackpot was struck from a side bet.
The first of the two jackpots came on Sunday, May 10th, on a Blackjack table in Casino of the Sky when a visitor won $458,952 landing a 4-card royal flush while having $5 on the Super 4 Progressive side bet. Just one week later, on Sunday, May 17th, in Casino of the Earth, another lucky guest followed suit with a $481,892 jackpot after placing a side bet in a Four Card Poker game and landing a royal flush in hearts.

Super 4 Progressive Blackjack
The Super 4 Progressive side bet option on Blackjack allows players to combine their cards with the dealer to form four-card poker hands. The top payouts are awarded for rare top-tier hands like a 4-card royal flush or 4-card straight flush.

The Four Card Poker jackpot that awarded a lucky guest $481,892 on May 17th was won by placing a $5 side bet and hitting on the highest tier outcome in the game, the royal flush Mega Jackpot. Four Card Poker uses a standard 52-card deck and allows a player to wager against the dealer, to wager only on the value of his own hand against a pay table, or to wager both against the dealer and on the value of his own hand.
