Overall in December, $673,412,991 went through Mohegan's slot machines. It's a staggering number, referred to as the handle, by casinos. But Mohegan Sun only kept 7.94 percent of that total amount.

When two casinos in Connecticut opened up for business in the early 90's, to make life easier they both reached an agreement with the state to pay them 25 percent of their monthly revenues from their slot machines. In accordance with this both the Mohegan Sun along with Foxwoods have had to report their total slots earnings each and every month to the state.

How much anyone wins or loses on the slot machines depends in some part as to what actual machines that they play. For example the Mohegan Sun actually took in $53.5 million dollars in slot revenue just for one month in December 2010. This surprisingly was a 6% decline over the previous year according to sources.

In reporting their numbers, the casino actually revealed some rather interesting information that many may be unaware of, therefore they may wish to pay attention to what was disclosed. Overall in the month of December 2010 a grand total of $673,412,991 was processed through the casino's slot machines.

• But in April, the statement took on a whole new meaning as we crowned some of our biggest online casino winners ever at the online slots. We boast well over 450 online casino games, with that number quickly creeping into 500 territory.
