The Figure You Are Looking For, and What It Means
Publicly published reference sources record 6,500 slot machines at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. That figure sits alongside 370 table games and more than 364,000 square feet of gaming space in the same published description of the property.
The number is a point-in-time count. Casinos move machines on and off the floor as demand shifts, as older cabinets are replaced, and as sections are rebuilt, so the count a reader sees on a sign or in a current brochure may differ from the 6,500 figure recorded here. Treat it as the documented scale of the venue rather than a promise about what is on the floor today.
Where the Venue Sits
Mohegan Sun is located in Uncasville, Connecticut, at approximately 41.49 degrees north latitude and 72.09 degrees west longitude. The property opened on October 12, 1996, and is owned and operated by the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe.
The venue sits on sovereign tribal land. That geographic and jurisdictional position shapes how the property is run and how it is described in public records, but this article makes no claim about the legal or regulatory status of any activity on the site.
Documented Facility Figures
The table below lists the facility figures that publicly published reference sources record for Mohegan Sun. Each number is a documented figure from a specific point in time and is revised as the property is expanded or reconfigured.
| Facility Measure | Documented Figure | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| Slot machines | 6,500 | Count of machines on gaming floor at time of published reference |
| Table games | 370 | Count of table game positions at time of published reference |
| Gaming space | 364,000 sq ft | Published gaming floor area, not total building area |
| Hotel rooms | 1,500 | Combined room count across two hotel towers |
| Opened | October 12, 1996 | First opening date of the resort |
The slot machine count and the table game count come from the same published source sentence that describes the gaming space. The hotel room figure comes from a separate published description of the two hotel towers, the Sky Tower and the Earth Tower, the latter opened in 2016.
Why the Slot Count Is Hard to Compare
A slot machine count is not a standard unit the way a mile or a gallon is. Two casinos can both report a number of slots and mean different things by it, which is why side-by-side comparisons across venues are less straightforward than they look.
- Some counts include electronic table game positions that sit in the slot category; others list them separately.
- Machines are added, removed, and moved between sections as floor layouts change.
- A count published in one year may reflect a floor that has since been reconfigured.
- Gaming square footage is measured differently from total building square footage, so a large gaming floor does not automatically mean a large overall building.
For Mohegan Sun specifically, the published figures describe a gaming floor of more than 364,000 square feet containing over 6,500 slot machines and 370 table games. The word "over" in the source means the published count is a floor, not a ceiling.
How the Hotel Towers Fit In
The 1,500-room figure combines two hotel towers. The original Sky Tower and the Earth Tower, opened in 2016, together provide more than 1,500 rooms according to the published reference source.
Room counts at large casino resorts change when towers are renovated, when floors are taken out of service, or when new wings open. A reader checking current availability should treat the 1,500 figure as the documented scale of the property's lodging capacity at the time the reference was published.
Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points
The table below gives great-circle distances from Mohegan Sun's documented coordinates to a set of reference points. These are straight-line measurements, not road distances, and every driving route will be longer.
| Reference Point | Straight-Line Distance (miles) | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| New York City | 113.3 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Manhattan | 113.3 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Boston | 80.1 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Philadelphia | 192.8 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Atlantic City | 191.6 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Washington DC | 315.4 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Chicago | 801.0 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Toronto | 399.7 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Las Vegas | 2321.8 | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or driving times. A reader planning a trip should measure the route from their own starting point using a mapping tool, because the road network between two points rarely follows the straight line between them.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Several details about Mohegan Sun change frequently and are not documented in this article. The current slot machine count, the current table game count, the operating hours of the gaming floor, and the availability of any specific machine or game are all changeable items.
The property's own published materials—its website, its guest services desk, and its on-site signage—carry the current answer. A reader who wants to know whether a particular machine is on the floor today should check the property's current floor listings or contact guest services directly, rather than relying on a published count from a reference source.
