Mohegan Sun Pocono (formerly Pocono Downs and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs) is a racino located in Plains Township on the outskirts of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The casino features over 2,300 slots, live tables for blackjack, roulette and poker, and a sportsbook offering sports betting. A ⅝-mile (1-kilometer) harness track is also a major attraction.

History[edit]

The racetrack itself is as of 2015 now called The Downs At Mohegan Sun Pocono.

Mohegan Sun acquired the Pocono Downs racetrack on January 25, 2005 in a $280 million purchase of the Pocono Downs Racetrack from Penn National Gaming.^[1] Mohegan Sun renamed the property 'Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs,' and began a major expansion. It began operation in November 2006 as the first slots casino in the state of Pennsylvania.

In January 2010, then Governor Ed Rendell signed a bill to legalize table games in Pennsylvania. The Mohegan Sun casino was among the first to receive approval for table games, and planned to hire 600 new employees for the expansion. Table games began operation on July 13, 2010.

In November 2013, Mohegan Sun opened a hotel that is connected to the casino floor.

On January 28, 2019, Mohegan Sun Pocono signed a partnership with Kindred Group to begin sports betting at a sportsbook at the casino along with offering online gambling and sports betting.^[2] Mohegan Sun Pocono became the first casino in Northeastern Pennsylvania to offer sports betting.^[3] On March 29, 2019, Mohegan Sun Pocono applied for a sports betting license;^[4] the license was approved on May 15, 2019. The casino constructed a 1,130 sq ft (105 m²) sportsbook that contains a video wall, 7 sports betting terminals, and 3 teller windows.^[5] The Unibet Sportsbook at Mohegan Sun Pocono opened on October 5, 2019, with former National Football League and Penn State linebacker LaVar Arrington in attendance for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.^[6] Unibet launched online gambling and online sports betting on November 12, 2019.^[7]

On March 18, 2020, Carmine Fusco, who trained and raced horses at The Downs at Poccono Downs, became the first resident of Pennsylvania to die from Coronavirus disease 2019.^[8]

The facility has fourteen restaurants or food service areas, including a food court, Johnny Rockets, Ruth's Chris Steak House, and Rustic Kitchen

There are also four shops, including a wine and cheese shop.

Mohegan Sun Pocono boasts 83,000 square feet of gaming floor. It includes 2,300 slot machines, more than 90 tables games, an 18-table poker room, and horseracing.

While Mohegan Sun Pocono is one of the smaller brick and mortar casinos in the state, it has loft online gambling ambitions.

Mohegan Sun Pocono partnered with Kindred, which is a European gaming company behind sites like Unibet, to bring the Unibet brand to Pennsylvania. In November 2019, Unibet Online Casino and Unibet Sportsbook both went live in Pennsylvania.

Mohegan Sun Pocono’s online casino bonuses and promos

In New Jersey, Mohegan Sun offers a 100 percent, first-deposit match bonus, worth up to $1,000.

It’s unclear what to expect from Mohegan’s Pennsylvania product, especially under a Kindred partnership.

More than likely there will be a no-deposit offering around $10-$30, along with a 100 percent match on first deposits.

This offering seems to be the industry standard. Pennsylvania could establish its standard to make up for the 54 percent slot-tax rate, but the market will be competitive to get new users.

Mohegan Sun Pocono’s online casino banking

As with all online gambling sites in the US, banking remains an issue. Over the years it has improved, but banks and credit cards remain wary of gaming transactions.

That said, there are plenty of payment options for players to deposit and withdraw. Expect to see:

• ACH (e-check)
• Cash at the Mohegan Sun Pocono Casino’s cage
• Mohegan Sun Pocono’s prepaid card
• Neteller
• Online bank transfers
• PayNearMe
• PayPal
• Visa and/or MasterCard credit/debit cards
• Wire transfers

Mohegan Sun Pocono’s online casino game offerings

Slots

With Kindred involved, we can expect the online casino to offer some of the best slot titles in the business. Some of Unibet’s most popular slots are:

• Divine Fortunes (progressive jackpot)
• The Goonies
• Mega Moolah (progressive jackpot)
• Who Wants to be a Millionaire
• Starburst

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the most popular online table games due to interactive play and great odds for the players. While we can only speculate right now, Mohegan Sun Pocono should offer many blackjack games including classic, multi-hand, and other variants.

A partnership with Kindred could also bring live dealer games.

Roulette

Mohegan Sun Casino Pa

Roulette is another game we can expect a few variations of in the online offerings from Mohegan Sun Pocono. At the very least, we should see American- and European-style roulette games.

American roulette has bothzero and double zero. European roulette only has zero, which essentially cuts the house edge in half. Most operators will offer at the very least these two versions of the game.

Kindred could also help bring in live dealer roulette as well.

Other games

We can expect to see a good variety of other games.

Live dealer games are another possibility, which the Kindred’s platform supports.

There’s a variety of other games you may see on Mohegan, including:

• Baccarat
• Bingo
• Keno
• Scratchers
• Slingo
• Pai gow poker

Mohegan Sun Pocono’s online casino loyalty program

Not much is known about Mohegan Sun’s loyalty program in Pennsylvania.

In New Jersey, Mohegan Sun offers the nine-tiered rewards program named ElevateRewards. This program allows players to earn points based on play to earn on property perks at Resorts Atlantic City or Mohegan Sun in Connecticut or Pennsylvania.

We will have to see if Mohegan continues this program or creates something new with its Pennsylvania online casino.
