Mohegan partner not disclosed in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board wasn't aware of a partnership between the Mohegan Tribe and a convicted developer, The Pocono Record reports.

The tribe, based in Connecticut, and developer Dennis Troha backed an off-reservation casino in Wisconsin. After an investigation, Troha pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in June 2007.

The tribe ended its relationship with Troha but failed to disclose the partnership when it applied for a slot machine license in Pennsylvania. The license for the facility was already awarded to the tribe before Troha pleaded guilty.

The tribe now operates the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.
