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.

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.
