Slot Machines 24/7, Booze 19/6

The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs slot machine casino will be open 24/7, but the alcohol will not. Pennsylvania is notorious for being anxious when it comes to alcohol sales, especially on Sundays when it used to be a dry state. However, with the slot machine casinos coming in, many believed that those rules were about to change. Unfortunately for the slot machine players, not so much.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Board and the Liquor Control Board are working on ironing out some of the liquor issues, but for now the slot machine casinos will only be allowed to serve alcohol from 7am to 2 am Monday through Saturday, and 11am to 2am on Sunday. For slot machine players, the drinks are part of the draw, and slot machine casino officials know that.

There is also another rule that says there will be no free drinks for slot machine players, nor do they get them at a discount. Many know that when you go to Vegas or Atlantic City, as you sit at the slot machines, waitresses keep bringing you drinks. It is one of the things that make you keep playing the slot machines. The state does not think the changes will be in place before the slot machine casino opens, but they are working on a compromise.
