Refreshed casino zone is home to 250+ of the most popular slot machines featuring the Hold & Spin bonus; A Special Hold & Spin Hotel Package has also kicked-off & includes $50 in Free Slot Play!
Located between the Star Bar and the recently updated Sachem Lounge in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky is the all-new Hold & Spin Slot Zone, featuring
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. In total, Mohegan Sun is home to more than 50 Dragon Link games alone, the most in Connecticut!
In celebration of the Hold & Spin Slot Zone in Casino of the Sky, Mohegan Sun has also launched a hotel package for travelers 21+. 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. For more details, guests can click HERE or navigate to the hotel packages tab on mohegansun.com.
“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!”
The Hold & Spin Slot Zone is a casino floor redesign with convenience and thrills in mind. The zone sits near other popular attractions at Mohegan Sun, including the Michael Jordan owned Mexican restaurant, Sol Toro, Vista Lounge at Wombi Rock and Sachem’s Lounge, which recently completed a major renovation. The most recent addition to the Hold & Spin Slot Zone at Mohegan Sun is Huff N’ Even More Puff, made by Light & Wonder.
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. Players can then collect as many coin symbols as possible within this 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.
In total, Mohegan Sun is home to nearly 4,000 slot machines across Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky. In the 2023 Strictly Slot Magazine “Best of Slots Awards” special issue, Mohegan Sun was named Best Overall Casino. Mohegan Sun also won “Best Casino Hotel” for the sixth consecutive year in 2023 by way of USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

For the third year running, MGE’s flagship property Mohegan Sun, the East Coast’s premier int
egrated resort destination, was voted “Best Casino Hotel,” in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, receiving the number one spot in the category, along with top rankings in “Best Casino Outside of Las Vegas“ and “Best Player’s Club” for its Momentum Rewards Program. Additionally, MGE-operated Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City was recognized for its on-property restaurant, Capriccio, which earned the number one spot for “Best Casino Restaurant.”
Nominees for USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards were selected by a panel of experts, including editors from both USA Today and 10Best.com, as well as relevant expert contributors. This year’s list of nominees featured some of the most well-known casino and resorts in the United States. Readers voted over a span of four weeks on their favorite choices in each category.
“To be voted ‘Best Casino Hotel’ for the third consecutive year by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards is truly an honor. At Mohegan Sun, we pride ourselves on providing guests with the highest quality of service, as well as exciting amenities and experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Jeffrey Hamilton, President and General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “We believe these recognitions are a testament to our outstanding team members, and we’ll continue to provide best-in-class service for our guests and devoted fans in 2021 and beyond.”
Mohegan Sun’s parent company, MGE, was also recognized as part of Forbes’ annual list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2020. Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best-in-State Employers based on an independent survey of approximately 80,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people in their U.S. operations. The surveys were administered using a series of online panels and provide a representative sample of the U.S. workforce.
Lastly, but certainly not least, Mohegan Sun garnered a total of 31 accolades, eight of which were first-place wins, in Casino Player Magazine’s “Best of Gaming 2020,” including “Best Overall Gaming Resort,” “Favorite Casino Resort to Vacation at” and more. Through an extensive survey, Casino Player Magazine’s readers selected which casinos across the United States are worthy of being crowned the best in an expanding sea of gambling options.
“These prestigious accolades are a ringing endorsement of our commitment to providing an exceptional environment for our team members and guests,” said Mario Kontomerkos, MGE’s Chief Executive Officer. “There is no question that 2020 has been an unprecedented year for the casino industry, but these notable awards remind us of the importance of our guiding philosophy, ‘The Spirit of Aquai,’ which emphasizes our commitment in embodying a welcoming, cooperative mindset, displaying mutual respect for others and building relationships. We believe these principles are what makes us stand out from the industry standard.”
Since the establishment of its flagship property in Connecticut in 1996, MGE has continued its strategic growth trajectory with its first foray outside of North America as well as Las Vegas, marking the first tribal casino presence in the Entertainment Capital of the World. MGE’s developments in Las Vegas, South Korea and Greece will further strengthen the brand’s position as a master developer of global integrated entertainment resorts (IER) and set the standard of immersive and thrilling resort entertainment.
