Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut has 370 table games according to publicly published reference sources, and its fixed coordinates place it at 41.49222222 north latitude and 72.09138889 west longitude. This article can tell you that documented figure and the straight-line distances from the venue to dozens of reference cities, but it cannot compare Mohegan Sun's table game count to Foxwoods because no documented Foxwoods figure exists in the reference material for this article.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route. The numbers below are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates, which is the shortest path across the surface of the earth, not the path any car would take.
Where Mohegan Sun Sits
Mohegan Sun is located in Uncasville, Connecticut, a community in the southeastern part of the state. Using the documented coordinates, the venue sits east of the Connecticut River and north of Long Island Sound, in a region of Connecticut that is closer to Rhode Island than to New York City's western edge. The coordinates place it inland from the coast, not on the shoreline itself.
The property opened on October 12, 1996, and is owned and operated by the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe. The venue's documented gaming floor covers more than 364,000 square feet, with over 6,500 slot machines and 370 table games, plus a race book. The two hotel towers, the original Sky Tower and the Earth Tower opened in 2016, together provide more than 1,500 rooms.
Facility figures like room counts, machine counts, and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat these numbers as a documented point in time rather than a live inventory.

Why Straight-Line Distance Understates the Trip
A great-circle measurement is the shortest arc between two points on the earth's surface. The route a driver takes is longer because roads follow terrain, cross water only at fixed bridge or tunnel points, and bend around populated areas, state boundaries, and protected land. Southeastern Connecticut sits in a region of rolling hills, river valleys, and irregular coastline, which adds further deviation between the straight line and any paved route.
Water is a major factor for this venue. A straight line from Mohegan Sun to many points on Long Island or the New Jersey shore crosses Long Island Sound, which no car can drive across. The road alternative runs around the Sound through New York City or up to a crossing point, adding distance that the great-circle figure does not capture. The same principle applies to any reference point separated from the venue by a bay, a river without a nearby bridge, or a mountain range.
State boundaries do not change the geometry, but they do change the road network. A straight line may cross from Connecticut into Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or New York at a point where no highway crossing exists, forcing a driver to a crossing miles away. None of that is reflected in the table above.
How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point
The venue's position is fixed. Your starting point is not. If you want a straight-line figure from your own location, take the venue's documented coordinates, 41.49222222 north and 72.09138889 west, and compare them with the coordinates of your departure point using any standard great-circle distance tool. That gives you the same type of measurement shown in the table above.
For road distance, use a mapping service that calculates a driving route between your address and Uncasville, Connecticut. The result will be longer than the straight-line figure, and the difference will depend on where you start, which crossings exist on your route, and current road conditions. No single number in this article can stand in for that calculation.
The Foxwoods Comparison This Article Cannot Make
The question asks which casino has more table games, Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. This article can document Mohegan Sun's figure of 370 table games from publicly published reference sources. It cannot document a Foxwoods table game count because no Foxwoods figure appears in the reference material for this article, and this article does not invent numbers to fill that gap.
Both properties sit in southeastern Connecticut, and both are large tribal gaming resorts, but their facility counts are separate documented facts. A reader who wants the current Foxwoods figure should check that property's own published facility information or its latest regulatory filing, then compare the two numbers directly. The comparison itself is simple arithmetic once both figures are in hand; the hard part is getting a current, sourced number for each property rather than a stale or promotional one.
Facility counts also change as venues expand, renovate, or reconfigure their floors. A table game count published in one year may not match the count in the next, so any comparison should carry an as-of date for both sides of the equation.
What to Confirm Before You Go
If you are planning a trip around a specific amenity, confirm the current figures before you commit to travel. The table game count, slot machine count, and hotel room inventory are documented here at a point in time, but properties revise their floors and room counts. The venue's own published facility page or a recent regulatory filing is the channel that carries the current number.
Also confirm the route you intend to drive, because the straight-line figures in the table above do not translate to road mileage. A mapping service with your exact departure address will give you the driving distance and the current route, including any seasonal road work or bridge restrictions. Check the venue's own guest services page for anything that affects arrival, such as parking access or tower-specific check-in, before you leave.
