Mohegan Sun, FanDuel Expand Online Sports Betting, Gambling

MONTVILLE, CT — Mohegan Sun and FanDuel are continuing the expansion of sports betting and online gambling with the launch of an online platform and several apps. Earlier this week, MoheganSunCasino.com, the Mohegan Sun Casino app and FanDuel Sportsbook app, were made available in the state on iOS and Android.

New online Mohegan Sun Casino players can play their first day "risk-free up to $1,000," according to a statement from the casino.

A temporary Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook retail location at Bow & Arrow Sports Bar opened to the public last month.

The sportsbook is located near the casino's Autumn entrance and features four live betting windows and nearly 50 self-service betting terminals. The companies anticipate opening the permanent Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook this winter in a fully revamped area where the Mohegan Sun Race Book was previously located.

The sportsbook will be 11,000 square feet, featuring a 140-foot high-resolution video wall as well as a full bar and dining menu. A Race Book section will still be featured within the new venue as well.

States around the country have approved similar laws in recent years, seeking to boost revenues.
