Looking beyond gaming
While the resorts and the MTGA diversify
their revenue streams, the Mohegan tribe
also is diversifying so it isn't relying so much
on the casinos for its funding.
Since last year, the tribe has invested in
sports bars, burger joints, submarine sandwich
shops, wood pellet companies, office solutions
providers, and manufacturing operations.
The MTGA still remains the dominant pro-
vider of the tribe's funding, expecting to pay
out $50 million in fiscal year 2015.
Soper will be the first Mohegan tribal
member to serve as MTGA president. He also
was the first tribal member to be president
and CEO of the Mohegan Sun property, which
is his current position.
While the MTGA looks to new markets, its
existing casinos also will seek to add more
non-gaming options to emphasize their sta-
tus as entertainment destinations, Soper
said. This includes events like Brewfest at
Mohegan Sun and weekly rooftop parties.
"We will stick to our core competency in
gaming and entertainment," Soper said. "Being
a tribal member myself, I have a vested interest
in ensuring this organization is successful." n
Gaming
Soper said Mohegan Sun will bring in major events and musical acts at a loss just for the crowds, in hopes those
patrons gamble, eat, shop, and stay at the resort.
