About Mohegan Pennsylvania

Mohegan Pennsylvania, known as Mohegan Sun Pocono until an October 2022 rebrand, is a casino in Plains Township on the edge of Wilkes-Barre. The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut owns it. It has more than 2,300 slot machines, blackjack, roulette and poker tables, a sportsbook and a hotel connected to the casino floor, and it keeps the harness track that opened in 1965 as Pocono Downs. You must be 21 or over to play.
