Mohegan Sun Named #1 “Best Casino for Slots” in USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards

Renowned integrated entertainment destination, Mohegan Sun, has been recognized across multiple categories in this year’s USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, including being named #1 in the inaugural “Best Casino for Slots” category. Mohegan Sun was also ranked #2 for “Best Casino Hotel,” and “Best Casino Outside of Las Vegas,” and Momentum, Mohegan Sun’s rewards program, placed #2 for “Best Players Club”.
Nominees for all categories in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards are selected by a panel of subject matter experts including editors from USA TODAY, editors from 10Best.com, and contributors across Gannett properties, before being opened to public voting. Readers then cast their votes over a four-week period on 10Best.com, which attracts more than 5 million visitors per month.
“Over the past two years, Mohegan Sun has invested $15 million in the slot floor to ensure we’re offering the newest and most exciting games across both Casino of the Sky and Casino of the Earth. Being named Best Casino Slots by the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards is a true testament to that commitment, as well as the exceptional service delivered by our gaming team. We’re equally proud to be recognized as runner-up in three additional major casino resort categories, an achievement that reflects the passion and excellence of our more than 5000 team members at Mohegan Sun,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun.
This year has been an abundant award season for Mohegan Sun. The resort earned accolades for its dining, with Michael Jordan’s Steak House named “Best Casino Fine Dining” and TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge winning “Best Casino Casual Dining” in the Best of Connecticut 2025 awards, while Beauty & Essex was honored by Yankee Magazine as Connecticut’s “Best Immersive Dining Experience”. On the entertainment side, the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena was voted “Best Casino Performance Venue” in the Best of Connecticut 2025 awards and was spotlighted by Yankee Magazine as one of the “10 Best Things to Do in Connecticut This Summer,” further solidifying its reputation as one of the premier entertainment destinations in the region.
The “Best Casino for Slots” honor arrives during a year in which Mohegan Sun has awarded various major jackpots, including $1,374,307 won by a lucky guest on the popular IGT game, Jumanji Next Level. A $5 bet on a Monopoly Cash Wheel game by Aristocrat Gaming also netted $412,607 for a Connecticut native visiting Mohegan Sun in early August. Mohegan Sun recently rolled out the Sky Slot Tournament Zone located near The Cabaret Theatre, featuring games like Wheel of Fortune, Hex Breaker, and Cleopatra, all of which seamlessly switch between tournament mode and regular play.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
N1 Partners once again proved its strength in the industry at the SBC Summit 2025 in Lisbon, held from September 16 to 18. With its Surf on the Wave to Success concept, the company brought a surf-inspired atmosphere to the event and returned home with a prestigious recognition.
At the Affiliate Leaders Awards 2025, N1 Partners was named Best Affiliate Program (Silver) — the first standalone ceremony dedicated to the affiliate industry.
“This nomination is a recognition of our focus on more than just numbers – it’s about building a strong community, growing brand awareness, and creating bold campaigns that inspire. At N1 Partners, we believe that trust, transparency, and creativity are what set us apart, and being ranked among the Best Affiliate Programs proves that this approach truly delivers value for our partners and the industry as a whole,” — commented Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners.
Riding the Wave of Business Success
Over three days in Lisbon, N1 Partners achieved the following:
- 300+ meetings with current and new affiliates
- Hundreds of Surf on the Wave to Success merch packs delivered to partners
- Strategic discussions on ongoing campaigns, including the year-long N1 Puzzle Promo running until the end of 2025
“Lisbon gave us the chance to meet with our top partners, strengthen relationships, and exchange insights on offers and analytics that drive efficiency. We also focused on strategies for the N1 Puzzle Promo — a campaign that continues until the end of the year and culminates with the grand prize of a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter. These conversations are exactly what keeps our partnerships growing stronger,” — added Alexa Bond.
Surf Trip Dreams Come True
At the booth, the company organized a raffle for an all-inclusive surf camp trip, which included flights, villa accommodation, professional coaching, and a custom surfboard. More than 100 guests of the N1 Partners booth participated, and one lucky winner received the prize.
“I love winning. And when I saw the giveaway, I knew I had to be there. The idea of ‘Surfing On the Waves to Success’ really resonates with me. I believe that success is not just luck, but alignment — the inner and outer work that underpins true achievement.” — shared the winner.

The N1 Partners booth remained vibrant throughout the summit. The company speakers joined over 10 interviews and live media sessions with leading affiliate outlets and iGaming brands. The N1 Partners team also attended/visited the SBC Legends Charity Game, supporting the initiative that aligns with the brand’s values and sharing in the positive spirit of the event.
