Mohegan Sun Broke Two Guinness World Records Saturday

Mohegan Sun Resort Casino is now in the Guinness Book of World Records. Twice. 

Saturday, the casino broke two world records: it held the world's largest slot machine tournament and had the most slot machines running the same game at the same time. Saturday, more than 3,000 people participated in the world’s largest slot machine tournament and more than 1,600 people broke the record for most slot machines playing the same game at the same time, according to a Mohegan Sun press release

Representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records were there to validate the records, according to the release. Bobby Soper, the casino’s CEO, thanked his employees for making the event happen. 

“This is a huge day for everyone at Mohegan Sun as we not only hosted our biggest slot tournament in our 16-year history, but set a new world record,” Soper said in a press release. “This would not have been possible without the countless number of dedicated and passionate employees whose hard work make Mohegan Sun what it is today – a top leader within the entertainment, gaming and hospitality industries.”
