Mohegan (company)

Mohegan is an American entertainment and hospitality company owned by the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut. Headquartered in Uncasville, Connecticut, the company develops, owns, and operates a portfolio of integrated resorts and casinos around the world. Originally established as the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA) in 1996, the company was later rebranded as Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) before adopting the simplified brand Mohegan in 2022 to reflect its expanding global footprint.

Mohegan began operations with the launch of Mohegan Sun, a large-scale gaming and entertainment resort located on the tribe’s reservation land in southeastern Connecticut. Over time, the company expanded its holdings to include properties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Nevada, Washington, and Ontario. Its first overseas project, the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon, South Korea, partially opened in 2023 but was later subject to financial and operational challenges.

In addition to its gaming operations, Mohegan has pursued strategic diversification in professional sports and digital entertainment. It owns the Connecticut Sun of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and previously owned the New England Black Wolves of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The company also manages online gaming through its Mohegan Digital division and has adopted artificial intelligence and data analytics to modernize its resort operations.

While owned by the Mohegan Tribe, the company is governed by the Tribe’s elected council and operates as a tribal business enterprise under the Mohegan Constitution. Mohegan operates as a for-profit entity under tribal governance, reinvesting revenues into both tribal and corporate development initiatives.
