New penny machines hit Mohegan Sun including the WMS Battleship which will be the first of its kind in New England
Mohegan Sun is pleased to announce that two of the most prominent electronic game entertainment companies, WMS and IGT, will be adding more exciting new slot machines to the gaming floor. Five new IGT Dark Knight™ penny machines can be found by taking a right at the Summer entrance and entering the side games room, while four new WMS Battleship penny machines, which will be the first of its kind in New England, are along the right wall in Casino of the Wind just behind the Player’s Club booth. In addition, six new Alice In Wonderland themed WMS machines have also been added in the Hall of the Lost Tribes inside Casino of the Earth.
Descend into the dark world of The Joker with The Joker Heist Video Slots and become immersed in edgy, dramatic entertainment that will ensure an innovative experience for players. Familiar scenes from The Dark Knight film blend well into the game through four unique bonus events. The Big Wheel Bonus provides exhilarating interaction when The Joker takes control of the game to award a specific bonus, but only after poking him in the eye on the touch screen.

Immediate plans for the new millionaire will include buying a new truck and “taking my boyfriend to Aruba.”
Saturday’s MegaJackpot® is the third and largest to be paid this year at Mohegan Sun. On January 11th, an impressive $677,912 Jeopardy!® MegaJackpot® prize was awarded.
