Mohegan Sun Expanding Slot Machines

The Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut has announced that they are expanding their slot machine casino. They are already one of the world’s largest slot machine casinos, and with the new $740 expansion they have planned, they will be adding in poker and the House of Blues. Many are very excited at the prospect.

The slot machine casino is expecting to add another 2,000 employees to the 10,000 they already have, as well as a new hotel, a House of Blues themed hotel and music hall. There will also be a restaurant and store added as well. The slot machine casino currently brings in roughly $1.5 billion in revenue a year, as well as 35,000 visitors daily. The slot machine casino is calling the new expansion “Project Horizon.”

They believe that by adding poker games in again they can increase the number of young people that come. They removed the poker games initially to make room for more slot machines. However, since poker has become so popular the slot machine casino thought it might be best to add the tables back in.

The Mohegan Sun currently gives 25% of their slot machine revenue to the state, so any additional slot machines they end up bringing in only means more money for everybody.
