More life-changing jackpots have been won at Mohegan Sun! This past weekend, two lucky Mohegan Sun guests each won massive $650k+ jackpots that totaled more than $1.3 million!

On Saturday, September 6th, a Connecticut resident was playing on an IGT Whitney Houston™ slot machine in Casino of the Sky when they hit the GRAND progressive jackpot for $659,570.73! The lucky guest was betting $50 per spin at the time the jackpot was won. Mohegan Sun introduced four Whitney Houston™ slot machines to the property back in August 2024 and they have been a fan-favorite ever since. These machines feature famous tunes by the multi-platinum popstar such as “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” and “So Emotional.”
