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.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

Live at Mohegan Sun Arena September 15th
UNCASVILLE, CT (May 1, 2024) – British band Squeeze is pleased to announce their Summer 2024 North American Tour that includes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, September 15th for a 7:30pm show.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 3rd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Subject to availability, fans of the English Pop Rock band can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, May 4th.
In 1978, Squeeze blasted to the forefront of the U.K. music scene at the height of the Punk revolution. A three-song E.P. landed them a deal with A&M Records, which led to the release of their debut self-titled album. With songwriting hooks and melodies that harkened back to the 60’s British Invasion, the groundbreaking L.P. featured “Take Me I’m Yours,” followed by a cadre of U.K. hits, including “Cool for Cats,” “Up the Junction,” “Pulling Mussels From A Shell,” “Black Coffee in Bed,” and “Labeled With Love.” The band made an indelible mark on the U.S. in 1981 with the release of their classic hits, “Tempted,” “Hourglass,” and “853-5937” (from East Side Story). Squeeze disbanded in 1999, then reunited in 2007, releasing three new albums: Spot the Difference (2010), Cradle to the Grave (2015), and The Knowledge (2017.) in 2022; the Food for Thought E.P. was released featuring one new song, two reimagined songs, and three exclusive live tracks. Profits from the digital E.P. will go to benefit independent U.K. Food Banks. Additionally, both Difford and Tilbrook have released various solo projects. Squeeze is currently hard at work on two albums – release date to be determined.
In addition to Chris and Glenn, Squeeze currently features keyboardist Stephen Large and drummer Simon Hanson (since 2007), percussionist/backing vocalist Steve Smith (since 2017), pedal/lap steel guitarist Melvin Duffy (since 2019), and Owen Biddle, former bassist for The Roots (who joined in 2020).
ABOUT BOY GEORGE
Formed in 1981, Culture Club was led by singer/songwriter Boy George, universally loved as one of music’s most iconic artists. As the first multi-racial band with an openly gay frontman, the band set many records and established themselves as icons of British musical history and popular culture.
