With President’s Day just a week away, Abraham Lincoln is growing in popularity at Mohegan Sun as the Northeast’s premier entertainment destination will now offer $5.00 minimum bet blackjack 24/7. A new area in Casino of the Earth, located between Seasons Buffet and Sunrise Square, will be designated to the low-limit gaming.
“We are extremely excited to be opening this new low-limit gaming area for our guests,” said Mitchell Etess, President and Chief Executive Officer for Mohegan Sun. “Even in a downed economy, people are looking for ways to enjoy themselves and offering a lower-limit bet helps to do that. It removes the intimidation factor and lets people who might be interested in the game actually have the opportunity to give it a try as most people just starting out are not comfortable placing a high bet.”
From a novice just looking to have a good time to the more advanced player, Mohegan Sun has something for everyone with over 300 table games in a variety of styles and betting dominations.
