The thrilling chills and chilling thrills of Spooky Link went to new frights at Mohegan Sun on Wednesday, Feb. 18 when the casino and entertainment destination hosted the official U.S. debut of the all-new Spooky Link Grand by Aristocrat Gaming.

Mohegan Sun guests enjoyed a free pull event, frighteningly fun photos with the Mo’ Mummy character, and the chance at winning $100,000 in cash prizes.

“Bringing the Spooky Link Grand to Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky is a huge moment for us, and being the first to launch these games has generated some incredible excitement. Our guests enjoyed a thrilling launch event yesterday, and we can’t wait for even more guests to discover these exhilarating new Aristocrat games at Mohegan Sun,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Mohegan Sun for the official debut of the all-new Spooky Link Grand. This launch builds on the incredible legacy of the chart‑topping original Spooky Link and reinforces our commitment to delivering industry‑leading content that players instantly recognize and enjoy,” said Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming.

Spooky Link Grand is exclusively available on the dynamic King Max cabinet and has three fun base games, including Go Ghost, Mo’ Mummy, and Yo Yeti. It wouldn’t be a Spooky Link game without the player-favorite characters, each with their own fun and unique twists to their Cash Collect bonuses.

The game features exciting bonuses like the Spooky Grand Chance Symbol feature; depending on which base game you play, the Go Ghost, Mo’ Mummy, or Yo Yeti feature; and the Jackpot feature for the chance to win the Spooky Grand + Grand wide area progressive jackpot starting at $50,000.
