Mohegan Sun parent company launches digital gaming division Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, the parent company of Mohegan Sun, has launched a digital gaming division to oversee the rollout of online products. MGE officials said Mohegan Digital will seek out new opportunities to engage the company's customers, with a particular focus on designing an "igaming experience" for Mohegan Sun. Connecticut effectively threw open the door to online gaming and sports betting ventures in May, when the General Assembly signed off on a three-way revenue-sharing pact agreed upon by Gov. Ned Lamont, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Mohegan Tribe. The law allows the state's two casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, to offer virtual versions of slot machines and table games. MGE has appointed Rich Roberts to serve as president of Mohegan Digital, with Aviram Alroy named as vice president.
