Dropkick Murphys’ current theater tour and new album This Machine Still Kills Fascists have received widespread praise from fans and media. In a recent show review, Americana Highways noted: “The record itself, backed by [Woody] Guthrie’s kindred, rebellious spirit, hit as hard as anything the Murphys have ever done…Throughout the show, the new songs hit as well as the old favorites.”

Mohegan has made moves to strengthen the sports betting capabilities at the operator’s pair of Niagara Falls-based gaming properties via the deployment of Suzohapp terminals.

The installation of the group’s entire sports wagering product ecosystem, including the SBT-1000 terminal, is intended to give Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara the ability to customise and automate the complete cycle.

After recently undertaking a similar installation at 10 Great Canadian Entertainment venues, this latest moves follows the regulatory green-light being issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

“Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara are premier locations in the Ontario gaming and sports betting industries and we are honoured to partner with Fallsview Casino Resort, Casino Niagara, and RBY on this project,” stated Todd Sims, Vice President of Sales for Suzohapp.

This partnership sees Mohegan build upon an alliance struck with Kambi earlier in the year, which saw plans disclosed for a total of 36 kiosks to be installed across the pair of aforementioned properties.

Regarding this latest alliance, Richard Taylor, President of Niagara Casinos, said: “We are very excited to partner with Suzohapp as we prepare to launch sports betting at Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara.

“With the changing landscape in gaming, we have been working collaboratively with the OLG, AGCO, and the Province and are excited to launch sports betting in Ontario. Our partnership with Suzohapp will continue to elevate our offerings at Niagara Casinos.”

Ray Pineault, CEO and President of Mohegan, added: “As a leading global entertainment operator, it is imperative that we align strategically with brands who are innovative and provide our guests with state-of-the-art technology to enhance their experience.

“We are pleased to partner with Suzohapp and to introduce their sports betting products…

WILKES-BARRE, PA — Dashing through what was soon to become a heavy snow, 19-1 shot Scottish (Kadabra) caught the 1-5 favorite Street Smarts very late to win the $15,000 featured harness racing trot on the next-to-last card of the year Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 15) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

Owner/trainer/driver David Hoover was far back for most of the mile with the gelding and was still 5¾ lengths behind at the three-quarters, four lengths back at the stretch call, and not much closer by midstretch, as Street Smarts had cleared after a first-up journey and looked to be home. But Scottish and Hoover never gave in and stepped by the chalk by a half a length in 1:57, a new mark despite the unfavorable conditions.

SCOTTISH REPLAY

Scottish was the only closer to win in the frigid conditions at Pocono on Tuesday; the next-closest thing came in the $15,000 featured pace, when the He’s Watching gelding Greystone Watchman backed out of the pocket after 47-1 Pink Floyd Hanover cleared the pacesetter late on the far turn, then went on nicely to defeat the longshot by 1¼ lengths in 1:54. Braxton Boyd drove the eight-time seasonal winner, coming off of only a three-day rest, for trainer Herbert Lux III and owner Robert John Becker.

Anthony Napolitano visited the winners circle three times to lead all drivers during the card.

Pocono will race its final card of 2022 this coming Saturday at 1:30, with a $25,000 fast-class pace topping the fourteen races. Also, leading trainer Ron Burke and leading driver Matt Kakaley will be feted for their excellent seasons at the mountain oval. Further, there will be a $1018.20 carryover for…
