Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) and FanDuel Group launch sports betting in Connecticut

Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) and FanDuel Group have launched retail sports betting in Connecticut. To celebrate this launch, a temporary Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook retail location at Bow & Arrow Sports Bar has opened. The opening of the permanent Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook should occur this winter where the Mohegan Sun Race Book was previously located.

"To now be able to offer sports betting for Mohegan Sun guests is quite a thrill and a milestone that was a long time in the making," said Jeff Hamilton, President and General Manager of Mohegan Sun. "This day wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and tireless work from our parent company, MGE, my incredible team at Mohegan Sun, leadership with the Mohegan Tribe, Governor Lamont and the State of Connecticut, and our partners at FanDuel Group. This gaming expansion will bring jobs, excitement and other positive economic impacts to Mohegan Sun and across Connecticut, and we can't wait to hit the ground running."  

Sports bettors and guests visiting Mohegan Sun will be able to enjoy a FanDuel Sportsbook retail experience featuring a game-day atmosphere with wagering options available across a variety of sporting events. FanDuel will provide its proprietary risk and trading technology that leverages the IGT PlaySports platform to offer bets on all major U.S. sports, including professional football, basketball, baseball, tennis, MMA, boxing, soccer, golf, motorsports and more. After launching in Connecticut, MGE and FanDuel will collaborate on the online casino experience under the Mohegan Sun brand, with more details on an official online launch date to be provided soon.
