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.

GR8_TECH’s Bet It Drives has won Best Marketing Campaign at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2026, adding another trophy to the brand’s recent awards run.

The company said the SiGMA Europe win follows a Bronze honor at the 18th Annual Shorty Awards in the Branded Podcast category and two Awards of Excellence at The 32nd Annual Communicator Awards in Series–Video Podcasts 2026 and Series–Branded – Series 2026.

GR8_TECH positioned Bet It Drives as a multi-channel content campaign distributed across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, social channels, and media partnerships. The company said the campaign has surpassed 2 million YouTube views and generated nearly 300 media publications.

“The car format solved that—intimate yet unpredictable, built to strip away the corporate performance guests default to in studio settings,” the company said, describing the creative approach behind the series.

“Bet It Drives was created to prove that marketing in iGaming can be bold and interesting. Winning Best Marketing Campaign at the SiGMA Europe Awards shows that the industry values content that goes beyond visibility and creates honest conversations,” said Yevhen Krazhan, Bet It Drives host and GR8_TECH’s CSO.
