TABLE GAMES COMING TO POCONO DOWNS

Mohegans’ Pa. casino adds table games
Yesterday

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Connecticut tribe that owns Mohegan Sun Casino has installed table games at its Pennsylvania casino as that state prepares to open that style of gambling in July.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs added the first 30 of its incoming 82 tables games on May 26 and the rest will be installed in the coming weeks. The table games include poker, blackjack, craps and roulette. Pocono Downs will be the first in Pennsylvania to operate table games.

The Mohegans purchased the Plains, Pa. casino in 2005. It was Pennsylvania's first casino. It includes 55,000 square feet of gambling space and 2,500 slot machines and electronic table games. The facility also hosts live harness racing for eight months each year.
