PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

The Tribe and the Authority

The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut, or the Mohegan Tribe or the Tribe, is a federally-recognized Indian tribe with an approximately 544-acre reservation situated in Southeastern Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, or IGRA, federally-recognized Indian tribes are permitted to conduct full-scale casino gaming operations on tribal lands, subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a compact with the affected state. The Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into a compact, the Mohegan Compact, which was approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior. We were established as an instrumentality of the Tribe, with the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Tribe on Tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. Our gaming operation at Mohegan Sun is one of only two legally authorized gaming operations in southern New England offering traditional slot machines and table games. Through our subsidiary, Downs Racing, L.P., or Downs Racing, we also own and operate Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, a gaming and entertainment facility located in Plains Township, Pennsylvania, and several off-track wagering facilities, or OTW facilities, located elsewhere in Pennsylvania, collectively the Pennsylvania facilities. We are governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Mohegan Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in our Management Board.

Our principal executive office and mailing address is One Mohegan Sun Boulevard, Uncasville, CT 06382. Our telephone number is (860) 862-8000. Our website is www.mtga.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are made available free of charge on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mohegan Sun

In October 1996, we opened a gaming and entertainment complex known as Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun is located on a 185-acre site on the Tribe's reservation overlooking the Thames River with direct access from Interstate 395 and Connecticut Route 2A. Mohegan Sun is approximately 125 miles from New York City, New York, and approximately 100 miles from Boston, Massachusetts. In 2002, we completed a major expansion of Mohegan Sun known as Project Sunburst, which included increased gaming, restaurant and retail space, an entertainment arena, an approximately 1,200-room luxury Sky Hotel Tower and approximately 100,000 square feet of convention space. In 2007, we opened Sunrise Square, and, in 2008, we opened Casino of the Wind.

Mohegan Sun currently operates in an approximately 3.1 million square-foot facility, which includes the following:

Casino of the Earth

As of September 30, 2012, Casino of the Earth offered:

Mohegan Sun offers parking for approximately 13,000 patrons and 3,900 employees. In addition, we operate an approximately 3,600-square-foot, 20-pump gasoline and convenience center for patrons, as well as a 10-pump gasoline center for employees, both located adjacent to Mohegan Sun.

Connecticut Sun

Through Mohegan Basketball Club, LLC, or MBC, we own and operate the Connecticut Sun franchise, a professional basketball team in the Women's National Basketball Association. The team plays its home games in the Mohegan Sun Arena.

Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug

Through Mohegan Golf, LLC, or Mohegan Golf, we own and operate the Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug, a private 18-hole championship golf course located in Sprague and Franklin, Connecticut.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs

Through Downs Racing, we own and operate a gaming and entertainment facility known as Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs located on a 400-acre site in Plains Township, Pennsylvania, and OTW facilities located in Carbondale, East Stroudsburg and Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. In November 2006, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs became the first location to offer slot machine gaming in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania when Phase I of its gaming and entertainment facility opened. In July 2008, we completed a major expansion of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs known as Project Sunrise, which included increased gaming, restaurant and retail space. In July 2010, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs opened its table game and poker operations, including additional non-smoking sections and a high-limit gaming area.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs currently operates in an approximately 400,000-square-foot facility, which includes the following as of September 30, 2012:

• approximately 82,000 square feet of gaming space;

• approximately 2,330 slot machines, 66 table games, including blackjack, roulette and craps, and an 18-table poker room;

3

• live harness racing and simulcast and off-track wagering;

• food and beverage amenities, including: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Rustic Kitchen Bistro and Bar, which features dining and a live cooking show, Bar Louie, a casual bar and restaurant, Timbers Buffet, a 300-seat Mohegan Indian cultural heritage themed multi-station buffet, and a food court, including: Johnny Rockets, Puck Express by Wolfgang Puck and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, for a total seating of approximately 1,800;

• five retail shops, one of which we own, offering products ranging from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs logo souvenirs to fine apparel; and

• three bars/lounges: Sunburst Bar, featured in the center of the gaming floor, Breakers Night Club and Pearl Sushi Bar.

Project Sunlight

In July 2012, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs broke ground on Project Sunlight, an estimated $50 million hotel expansion project to be located adjacent to the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino. This expansion will include a 238-room hotel and an approximately 20,000-square-foot convention center. The hotel will include a combination of standard guest rooms and suites and feature rooms with exclusive views of the race track, as well as a fitness center, an indoor pool and a bistro serving breakfast and light fare. A new porte-cochere also is being added for additional guest convenience. The convention center will be located adjacent to the hotel and will be able to accommodate a number of different sized groups up to 800 for seated banquets. This space also can be converted into a 1,500-seat concert venue. The hotel and convention center are being developed and built by Downs Lodging, LLC, or Downs Lodging, our wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary. The costs for Project Sunlight are being funded through a combination of a $45 million non-recourse term loan obtained by Downs Lodging and a $5 million investment by us. Project Sunlight is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

Strategy

Our overall strategy is to profit from gaming in our core markets, as well as to diversify the Tribe’s business interests within the gaming industry. Mohegan Sun primarily receives patronage from guests residing within 100 miles of Mohegan Sun, which represents our primary market. Mohegan Sun also receives patronage from guests residing within a 100 to 200 mile radius, which represents our secondary market. With the completion of Project Sunburst in 2002, we have developed Mohegan Sun into a full-scale entertainment and destination resort. The addition of Casino of the Wind and Sunrise Square further strengthens our presence in the Northeast United States gaming market. In addition, we have taken significant steps in our diversification efforts with the addition of our Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs operations, including the July 2010 introduction of table game and poker operations and the development of Project Sunlight.

Diversification

The Tribe has determined that it is in its best interest to pursue diversification of its business interests, both directly and through us. As a result, from time to time, we and the Tribe pursue various business opportunities. These opportunities primarily include proposed development and/or management of, investment in or ownership of additional gaming operations through direct investments, acquisitions, joint venture arrangements and loan or financial/credit support transactions. In addition to the pursuits described below, we and the Tribe are currently exploring other opportunities; however we can provide no assurance that we or the Tribe will continue to pursue any of these opportunities or that any of them will be consummated.

Management of Resorts Casino Hotel

In 2012, we formed Mohegan Gaming Advisors, LLC, or Mohegan Gaming Advisors, an unrestricted subsidiary, to pursue gaming opportunities outside the State of Connecticut, including management contracts and consulting agreements for casino and entertainment properties in the United States. Mohegan Gaming Advisors holds 100% membership interests in MGA Holding NJ, LLC and MGA Gaming NJ, LLC, or collectively, the Mohegan New Jersey entities. The Mohegan New Jersey entities were formed to pursue management contracts and consulting agreements in the State of New Jersey. In October 2012, Mohegan Gaming Advisors, through the Mohegan New Jersey entities, entered into a joint venture and management arrangement with the owner of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, pursuant to which it is managing the facility.

Cowlitz Project

In July 2004, we formed Mohegan Ventures-Northwest, LLC, or Mohegan Ventures-NW. Mohegan Ventures-NW is one of three current members in Salishan-Mohegan, LLC, or Salishan-Mohegan, which was formed to participate in the Cowlitz Project, a proposed casino to be owned by the Cowlitz Tribe and to be located in Clark County, Washington. Mohegan Ventures-NW, Salishan Company, LLC, an unrelated entity, and the Tribe hold membership interests in Salishan-Mohegan of 49.15%, 43% and 7.85%, respectively.

4

In September 2004, Salishan-Mohegan entered into development and management agreements with the Cowlitz Tribe in connection with the Cowlitz Project, which agreements have been amended from time to time. Under the terms of the development agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will assist in securing financing, as well as administer and oversee the planning, designing, development, construction and furnishing of the proposed casino. The development agreement provides for development fees of 3% of total project costs, as defined under the development agreement, which are to be distributed to Mohegan Ventures-NW, pursuant to the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement. In 2006, Salishan-Mohegan purchased a 152-acre site for the proposed casino, which will be transferred to the Cowlitz Tribe or the United States pursuant to the development agreement. Development of the Cowlitz Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, negotiation of a gaming compact with the State of Washington and acceptance of land into trust on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe by the United States Department of the Interior. The development agreement provides for termination of Salishan-Mohegan’s exclusive development rights if the land is not taken into trust by December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the management agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will manage, operate and maintain the proposed casino for a period of seven years following its opening. The management agreement provides for management fees of 24% of net revenues, as defined under the management agreement, which approximates net income earned from the Cowlitz Project. Under the terms of the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement, management fees will be allocated to the members of Salishan-Mohegan based on their respective membership interest. The management agreement is subject to approval by the National Indian Gaming Commission, or the NIGC.

In December 2010, the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior made a final agency determination to acquire the 152-acre Cowlitz Project site into trust for the benefit of the Cowlitz Tribe pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act. The Assistant Secretary also determined that the acquired lands will serve as the initial reservation of the Cowlitz Tribe and that the tribe may conduct gaming on such lands under IGRA. Transfer of the property to the United States remains subject to final action by the Department of the Interior, including resolution of two lawsuits challenging the federal government's actions. In January 2011, Clark County, Washington, the City of Vancouver, Washington, and certain other plaintiffs filed suit against the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or the BIA, the NIGC and various government officials, and in February 2011, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde of Oregon filed suit against the Department of the Interior, the BIA and their officials. Both lawsuits are currently pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Pursuant to the Department of the Interior practice, the United States is not expected to take the Cowlitz Project site into trust while these lawsuits are pending. Class III gaming on the property remains subject to the negotiation and federal approval of a gaming compact between the Cowlitz Tribe and the State of Washington, which is a party to gaming compacts with twenty eight other federally-recognized Indian tribes in that state. We can provide no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino.

Other Projects

In March 2008, we formed Mohegan Gaming & Hospitality, LLC, or MG&H, with the Tribe to evaluate and pursue business opportunities. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, MTGA Gaming, LLC, or MTGA Gaming, and the Tribe hold 49% and 51% membership interests in MG&H, respectively. MG&H subsequently formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mohegan Resorts, LLC, or Mohegan Resorts. Certain of our and the Tribe's diversification efforts are conducted, either directly or indirectly, through MG&H and Mohegan Resorts. Mohegan Resorts holds a 100% membership interest in Mohegan Resorts Mass, LLC, or Mohegan Resorts Mass, which was formed to pursue potential gaming opportunities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mohegan Resorts Mass has entered into a lease agreement for a 152-acre site located in Palmer, Massachusetts, which would serve as a potential site for gaming development.

In March 2007, we formed Mohegan Ventures Wisconsin, LLC, or MVW, one of two original members in Wisconsin Tribal Gaming, LLC, or WTG, which was formed to participate in the Menominee Project, a proposed casino to be owned by the Menominee Tribe and to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. MVW now holds 100% membership interest in WTG. In connection with the Menominee Project, we entered into a management agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the Menominee Kenosha Gaming Authority, or the MKGA, and WTG purchased the development rights for the Menominee Project under a development agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the MKGA. In September 2010, WTG entered into a release and reimbursement agreement pursuant to which WTG: (1) relinquished its development rights and was relieved of its development obligations for the Menominee Project; (2) retained its rights to reimbursement of a portion of certain receivables related to reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project, subject to certain conditions; and (3) assigned the option to purchase the proposed Menominee Project site in Kenosha to MKGA. Due to the uncertainty in the development of the Menominee Project, as of September 30, 2008, we had fully reserved for these receivables and had written-off the related development rights intangible asset. In February 2012, the MKGA terminated its efforts to seek NIGC approval of the management agreement. As of September 30, 2012, the WTG receivables remain fully reserved.

We can provide no assurance that we will continue to pursue any of these projects or that any of them will be consummated.

Market and Competition from Other Gaming Operations

Our gaming operation at Mohegan Sun is one of only two current gaming operations in southern New England offering traditional slot machines and table games, with the other operation being our sole gaming competitor in the State of Connecticut, Foxwoods Resort Casino, or Foxwoods. Foxwoods is owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, or the MPT, and located approximately 10 miles from Mohegan Sun. We face competition from racino and video lottery terminal facilities, or VLT facilities, in the states of New York and Rhode Island and from casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey and, to a lesser extent, several casinos and gaming facilities located on Indian tribal lands in the State of New York. In addition, we face competition in and from the Northeastern Pennsylvania gaming market, both in the immediate market for Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, and for Mohegan Sun, in marketing and attracting patrons from the New York City metropolitan region.

We also face potential competition from the current or future expansion of state-licensed gaming in New England and the Northeastern United States and prospective gaming projects under consideration by other Indian tribes, including federally-recognized tribes in Massachusetts and New York. With the addition of table gaming to existing slot machine facilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and VLT facilities in the State of Delaware in 2010, commercial casino gaming has expanded in the Northeastern United States and is poised to expand further with the approval of traditional table game operations at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island, and the authorization of up to three commercial casinos and one slot machine facility in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Federal recognition of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, located in Massachusetts, and the Shinnecock Indian Nation of New York also increase the possibility of new tribal gaming in the Northeastern United States in the future. Other federally-recognized Indian tribes continue to pursue full-scale commercial casino gaming in the Catskills region of New York and elsewhere in the Northeastern United States. Under federal law, subsequent to obtaining federal recognition, Indian tribes are subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals before commencing full-scale gaming operations, including, but not limited to: (1) negotiation and federal approval of a gaming compact with the affected state, (2) acceptance of land into trust by the United States Department of the Interior, and (3) federal approval of a tribal gaming ordinance. Indian tribes also may need to negotiate a management agreement and obtain financing to construct a facility. As further discussed below, groups seeking federal recognition as Indian tribes, as well as federally-recognized Indian tribes, continue efforts to establish or expand reservation lands with an interest in commercial casino gaming on such lands.

We are unable to predict whether efforts by federally-recognized Indian tribes or groups seeking federal recognition as Indian tribes will lead to the establishment of additional commercial casino gaming operations in the Northeastern United States. We are also unable to predict whether or when additional commercial casino gaming operations in the Northeastern United States will open. If established, we are uncertain of the impact such commercial casino gaming operations will have on our operations.

Mohegan Sun

The following is a summary of competition affecting Mohegan Sun:

Connecticut

Only the Tribe and the MPT are authorized to conduct commercial casino gaming in the State of Connecticut. As required by each tribe's separate Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, with the State of Connecticut, the Tribe and the MPT make monthly contribution payments to the state based on a portion of revenues earned on slot machines. Pursuant to the terms of an exclusivity clause in each MOU, contribution payments to the state will terminate if there is any change in state law that permits operation of slot machines or other commercial casino games or if any other person lawfully operates slot machines or other commercial casino games within the State of Connecticut, except those consented to by the Tribe and the MPT.

In 2009, the MPT reportedly defaulted on certain of its debt obligations and entered into a forbearance agreement with its lenders under its bank credit facility and, in 2010, the MPT reportedly failed to repay its bank credit facility at maturity and announced the suspension of per capita gaming revenue distribution payments to its tribal members. In August 2012, the MPT announced the planned restructuring of approximately $2.2 billion of its debt obligations. It is uncertain whether any of these actions related to the MPT's debt structure will affect the Northeastern United States gaming market or will have an impact on our operations.

Effective July 1, 2012, the threshold before which contribution payments to the State of Connecticut from free promotional slot plays are required was increased from 5.5% of gross revenues from slot machines to 11% for both the Tribe and the MPT.

Rhode Island

The state's two pari-mutuel facilities, Twin River Casino in Lincoln and Newport Grand in Newport, reportedly offer approximately 5,700 VLTs, including electronic table game positions. In November 2012, voters state-wide and in the host community of Lincoln approved the addition of traditional table game operations at Twin River Casino, while a similar measure

6

for Newport Grand was rejected. According to reports, Twin River Casino has commenced renovations to add 65 gaming tables by July 1, 2013.

Massachusetts

In November 2011, the governor of Massachusetts signed into law comprehensive gaming legislation which authorizes up to three casino resort licenses and one facility limited to 1,250 slot machines in Massachusetts to be licensed by the new gaming commission, which held its first meeting in April 2012. Each of the three casino resort licenses is restricted to one of three geographic regions of the state, including Western Massachusetts, where an affiliate owned by us and the Tribe has leased property which would serve as a potential site for gaming development.

New York

Racinos in Yonkers, Queens, Batavia, Hamburg, Nichols, Vernon, Monticello, Saratoga Springs and Farmington, New York, reportedly operate approximately 17,000 VLTs, including electronic table game positions. Approximately 10,000 of these VLTs are operated at the two racinos located in or close to New York City - Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, or Empire City, and Resorts World New York in Queens, or Resorts World.

Given Empire City's and Resorts World's location in or near New York City, each has a distinct advantage over Mohegan Sun in competing for day-trip and other potential patrons from the New York metropolitan region.

In March 2012, the New York state legislature and governor approved the first step towards amending the state constitution to authorize traditional table game operations at up to seven full-scale casinos in the state. If approved by the next legislature, which convenes in January 2013, the constitutional amendment would have to be approved by a majority of voters in a state-wide ballot.

There are eight federally-recognized Indian tribes in the State of New York, and it has been reported that one of them, the Shinnecock Indian Nation of New York, is considering various sites on or near Long Island for a potential reservation and casino. Only three of the federally-recognized Indian tribes in the state, the Oneida Nation of New York, or the Oneida Nation, the Seneca Nation of New York, or the Seneca Nation, and the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New York, or the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, currently engage in commercial casino gaming. However, several New York Indian tribes and at least two Indian tribes based in the State of Wisconsin have been pursuing potential gaming projects in the State of New York which, if completed, would add significant gaming space, as well as hotel capacity to the Northeastern United States gaming market.

In 2001, the state legislature approved legislation to permit as many as six new gaming operations by Indian tribes in addition to those then operated by the Oneida Nation and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. Under this legislation, three additional gaming operations are owned and operated by the Seneca Nation, while the remaining three may be located in either Ulster County or Sullivan County in the Catskills region of the state but have not received federal or final state approval to date. This legislation approved the use of traditional slot machines, rather than VLTs, where the possession and use of traditional slot machines are authorized pursuant to a tribal-state compact. The governor had reached tentative land claim settlements with various Indian tribes and supported legislation for as many as five tribal commercial casinos to be located in the Catskills region since that law was first adopted in 2001. However, a 2005 United States Supreme Court decision regarding tribal jurisdiction over Indian tribal lands not held in trust by the United States and subsequent federal court decisions led to the withdrawal of these land claim settlement agreements. Several federally-recognized Indian tribes, including the Seneca Nation, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe of Wisconsin, have continued to pursue tribal commercial casinos in the Catskills region.

In June 2011, the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior withdrew earlier BIA policy guidance issued in January 2008 relating to trust land acquisitions for so-called off-reservation gaming projects. The January 2008 policy guidance had led to the rejection of certain trust land applications in the Catskills region. According to published reports, several tribes are now reconsidering or renewing efforts to develop gaming facilities in the Catskills region.

The following is a summary of current and potential gaming operations by federally-recognized Indian tribes in the State of New York:

• The Oneida Nation-The Oneida Nation operates Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, approximately 270 miles from Mohegan Sun.

• The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe-The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe operates Akwesasne Mohawk Casino in Hogansburg and Mohawk Bingo Palace in Akwesasne, each approximately 400 miles from Mohegan Sun.

• The Seneca Nation-The Seneca Nation operates three casinos in the western region of the state more than 400 miles from Mohegan Sun.

• The Cayuga Nation of New York-The Cayuga Nation of New York previously operated bingo gaming halls in Union

7

Springs and Seneca Falls, but the tribe's application with the BIA to take 125 acres into trust for gaming at those facilities was rejected in December 2011. The tribe also has pursued gaming in the Catskills region at various times.

• The Shinnecock Indian Nation of New York-The Shinnecock Indian Nation of New York has an approximately 800-acre state reservation on the east side of Shinnecock Bay, adjacent to Southampton on Long Island, but has reportedly considered as many as 30 other locations for a casino site. Gaming on the tribe's existing state reservation or any other location will likely require various regulatory approvals and/or legislation.

The Oneida Nation, the Seneca Nation and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe reportedly have one or more ongoing disputes with the State of New York regarding property taxes, cigarette taxes or gaming revenue sharing payments. In 2010, the Seneca Nation and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe ceased making certain gaming revenue sharing payments to the state. According to reports, the Seneca Nation, which has reportedly withheld more than $460 million in payments, agreed to binding arbitration to resolve its gaming payment dispute with the state in November 2011 and, in September 2012, an arbitration panel was named to decide the matter. These disputes or their ultimate resolutions may increase the likelihood of new tribal or commercial gaming operations in the Catskills region and may impact competition in the Northeastern United States gaming market.

New Jersey

The Atlantic City gaming market currently consists of 12 gaming properties following the April 2012 opening of Revel Casino. These 12 properties reportedly offer approximately 27,000 slot machines and 1,650 table games. The State of New Jersey and the Atlantic City gaming market, in particular, continue to implement legislative reforms adopted in 2011 and public-private initiatives to revitalize gaming in the state and respond to competition from expanded gaming in nearby states. The State of New Jersey also has passed legislation related to sports wagering and is involved in litigation challenging the federal law which restricts legalized sports wagering to certain states.

Maine

Full-scale casinos are now operating in the State of Maine at two locations in Bangor and Oxford as a result of two successful referenda in 2010 and 2011. Hollywood Casino Bangor reportedly added 14 table games in March 2012 to its racino, which also offers approximately 1,000 slot machines and a six-story hotel. In June 2012, Oxford Casino opened its first phase with approximately 500 slot machines and 12 table games and, in September 2012, announced an expansion that will reportedly add hundreds of slot machines and 10 table games.

New Hampshire

Commercial casino gaming operations are not currently permitted in the State of New Hampshire, with the exception of limited charitable table gaming. There are no federally-recognized Indian tribes in the state.

Vermont

Currently, gaming is not permitted in the State of Vermont nor is there any significant initiative underway to legalize commercial casino gaming operations in the state. There are no federally-recognized Indian tribes in the state.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs

The following is a summary of competition affecting Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs:

In 2004, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania passed the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act, or the Pennsylvania Gaming Act, which permitted the operation of up to 61,000 slot machines at 14 locations throughout the state, 11 of which have commenced operations. In addition, the Pennsylvania Gaming Act authorized the operation of up to 500 slot machines at two resort facilities, one of which has commenced operations following the March 2012 opening of Valley Forge Casino Resort in Valley Forge. The Pennsylvania Gaming Act also includes prohibitions against locating facilities within close proximity to other operations, which, among other things, effectively prohibits locating a slot machine facility within twenty miles of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs or a smaller resort slot machine facility within fifteen miles of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. In 2010, the Pennsylvania Gaming Act was amended to allow slot machine operators in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to operate certain table games, including poker. The amendment also authorized a resort facility to be awarded in 2017, which is prohibited from being located within thirty miles of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. In addition, the amendment increased the number of slot machines at such smaller resort facilities from 500 to 600 and restricted the number of table games at such facilities to 50. All operating slot machine facilities in the state have added table game operations.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces competition from several facilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as well as neighboring states. However, its most immediate competitors are Mount Airy Casino Resort, or Mount Airy, and Sands Casino

8

Resort Bethlehem, or Sands Bethlehem, both of which are located in Northeastern Pennsylvania:

• Mount Airy-Mount Airy, located at the former Mount Airy Lodge in Mount Pocono, opened in October 2007 and is approximately 40 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Mount Airy reportedly offers 2,100 slot machines, 70 table games, a 188-room hotel, a spa and a golf course.

• Sands Bethlehem-Sands Bethlehem, owned by Las Vegas Sands Corporation, opened in May 2009 and is approximately 70 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Sands Bethlehem reportedly offers 3,000 slot machines and 150 table games.

In addition to existing slot machine and table game operations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces existing competition from the VLT facility at the Monticello Raceway in Monticello, New York, approximately 90 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Additionally, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces competition from Tioga Downs Casino in Nichols, New York, approximately 100 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Tioga Downs Casino offers a racetrack and reportedly 750 VLTs. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs also faces potential competition from any gaming operation that is ultimately developed in the Catskills region of New York.

In 2010, the PGCB voted to revoke a license awarded to an affiliate of Foxwoods Development, LLC for a second stand-alone facility in Philadelphia and, in November 2012, the PGCB reportedly received applications from six different developers for that license at various locations in Philadelphia. Additionally, new gaming projects have opened in the past year in Maryland and Ohio and additional expansion is being pursued in those states; however, we do not believe that these developments will have a direct impact on Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The expansion of gaming in nearby states may nevertheless impact the overall Pennsylvania gaming market.

Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut

General

The Tribe has lived in a cohesive community for hundreds of years in what is today southeastern Connecticut. The Tribe became a federally-recognized Indian tribe in 1994 and currently has approximately 2,000 members, including 1,200 adult voting members. The Tribe historically has cooperated with the United States and is proud of the fact that members of the Tribe have fought on the side of the United States in every war from the Revolutionary War to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Tribe believes that this philosophy of cooperation exemplifies its approach of developing Mohegan Sun and pursuing diversification of its business interests.

Although the Tribe is a sovereign entity, it has sought to work with, and to gain the support of, local communities. For example, the Tribe settled its claim to extensive tracts of land that had been guaranteed by various treaties in consideration for certain arrangements in the Mohegan Compact. As a result, local residents and businesses whose property values had been clouded by this dispute were able to gain clear title to their property. In addition, the Tribe has been sensitive to the concerns of the local community in developing Mohegan Sun. This philosophy of cooperation has enabled the Tribe to build a solid alliance among local, state and federal officials to achieve its goal of economic development through the success of Mohegan Sun and its other projects.

Governance of the Tribe

The Tribe's Constitution provides for the governance of the Tribe by a Tribal Council, consisting of nine members, and a Council of Elders, consisting of seven members. The registered voters of the Tribe elect all members of the Council of Elders and the Mohegan Tribal Council. Pursuant to an amendment to the Tribe's Constitution in September 2003, the members of both the Council of Elders and the Mohegan Tribal Council are elected on a four-year staggered term basis. The term of three members of the Council of Elders expires in October 2014, while the term of the remaining four members expires in October 2016. The term for five members of the Mohegan Tribal Council expires in October 2013, while the term of the remaining four members expires in October 2015. Members of the Council of Elders must be at least 55 years of age when elected, while members of the Mohegan Tribal Council must be at least 21 years of age when elected. The members of the Mohegan Tribal Council also serve as members and officers on our Management Board.

The Tribe's Constitution vests all legislative and executive powers of the Tribe in the Mohegan Tribal Council, with the exception of enrollment of Tribal members and cultural duties, which are vested in the Council of Elders. The powers of the Mohegan Tribal Council include the power to establish an executive branch departmental structure with agencies and subdivisions and to delegate appropriate powers to such agencies and sub-divisions.

The Tribe may amend provisions of its Constitution that established us and the Gaming Disputes Court, which is described below. Such an amendment requires the approval of two-thirds of the members of the Mohegan Tribal Council and must be ratified

9

by registered voters of the Tribe by a two-thirds majority of all votes cast, with at least a 40% participation of registered voters of the Tribe. In addition, the Tribe's Constitution currently prohibits the Tribe from enacting any law that would impair the obligations of contracts entered into in furtherance of the development, construction, operation and promotion of gaming on Tribal lands. An amendment to this provision requires the affirmative vote of 75% of registered voters of the Tribe. Prior to the enactment of any such amendment by the Mohegan Tribal Council, any non-Tribal party would have the opportunity to seek a ruling from the Appellate Branch of the Gaming Disputes Court that the proposed amendment would constitute an impermissible impairment of contract.

The Council of Elders acts in the capacity of an appellate court of final review and may hear appeals of any case or controversy arising under the Tribe's Constitution, except those matters related to Mohegan Sun, which are required to be submitted to the Gaming Disputes Court.

Gaming Disputes Court

Under the Constitution and laws of the Tribe, the Gaming Disputes Court is vested with exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes related to gaming and associated facilities on Tribal lands, including appeals from certain final administrative agency decisions. The Gaming Disputes Court is composed of a Trial Branch and an Appellate Branch. Cases tried in the Trial Branch are heard by a single judge, whose decision can be appealed to the Appellate Branch. Appeals are decided by a panel of three judges, consisting of a Chief Judge and two judges selected in rotation. A judge whose decision is on appeal may not serve on the appellate panel. Decisions of the Appellate Branch are final and no further appeal is available.

The Gaming Disputes Court has jurisdiction over all disputes or controversies related to gaming between any person or entity and us or the Tribe. The Gaming Disputes Court also has jurisdiction over certain appeals arising out of tribal agency regulatory powers, including licensing actions. The Tribe has adopted the substantive law of the State of Connecticut as the applicable law of the Gaming Disputes Court to the extent that such law is not in conflict with Mohegan Tribal Law. Also, the Tribe has adopted all of Connecticut's rules of civil and appellate procedure and professional and judicial conduct to govern the Gaming Disputes Court.

Judges of the Gaming Disputes Court are chosen by the Mohegan Tribal Council from a publicly available list of eligible retired federal judges and Connecticut Attorney Trial Referees, who are appointed by the Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, each of whom must remain licensed to practice law in the State of Connecticut.

Judges are selected sequentially as cases are filed with the clerk of the Gaming Disputes Court. The Chief Judge of the Gaming Disputes Court, who serves as the Gaming Disputes Court's administrative superintendent, is chosen by the Mohegan Tribal Council from the list of eligible judges and serves a five-year term. The remaining judges may serve an unlimited term on the bench. Judges of the Gaming Disputes Court are subject to discipline and removal for cause pursuant to the rules of the Gaming Disputes Court. The Chief Judge is vested with the sole authority to revise the rules of the Gaming Disputes Court. Judges are compensated by the Tribe at an agreed rate of pay commensurate with their duties and responsibilities. Such rate cannot be diminished during a judge's tenure.

Below is a description of certain information regarding judges currently serving on the Gaming Disputes Court:

Paul M. Guernsey, Chief Judge. Age: 62. Judge Guernsey has served on the Gaming Disputes Court since 1996. He was appointed Acting Chief Judge in November 1999 and Chief Judge in January 2000. Judge Guernsey also served as Fact Finder for the New London Judicial District from 1990 to 1992 and as State of Connecticut Attorney Trial Referee, Judicial District of New London, since 1992.

F. Owen Eagan, Judge. Age: 82. Judge Eagan was appointed to the Gaming Disputes Court in 1996. He served as United States Magistrate Judge from 1975 to 1996 and was formerly Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut and United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. He also served as an adjunct law faculty member at Western New England College School of Law.

Frank A. Manfredi, Judge. Age: 61. Judge Manfredi was appointed to the Gaming Disputes Court in 2001. He has been a partner at Cotter, Greenfield, Manfredi & Lanes, P.C., since 1983. Judge Manfredi also has served as State of Connecticut Attorney Trial Referee since 1993, State of Connecticut Attorney Fact Finder since 1992 and Town Attorney for the Town of Preston since 1988.

Jeffrey A. McNamara, Judge. Age: 53. Judge McNamara was appointed to the Gaming Disputes Court in 2012. He has served as a Probate Judge for the Niantic Regional Probate Court since 2010 and had been a Probate Judge for the District of East Lyme from 1988 to 2010. Judge McNamara has also served as a State of Connecticut Attorney Trial Referee for the Judicial District of New London since 2011. Judge McNamara has been a member of the Executive Committee for Probate Administration since 2009.

Workers' Compensation Department

Effective September 1, 2004, the Mohegan Tribal Council established a Workers' Compensation Department to oversee a self-administered workers' compensation program for employees of the Tribe and us, but does not include any employees of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Prior to the formation of this department, we participated in the State of Connecticut workers' compensation program. Duties of the Workers' Compensation Department, including judgment on claims, are performed by two commissioners retained by the Tribe.

Below is a description of certain information regarding the commissioners serving in the Workers' Compensation Department:

Giancarlo Rossi, Chief Commissioner. Age: 63. Mr. Rossi was appointed Chief Commissioner of the Workers' Compensation Department in September 2004. Mr. Rossi is a practicing attorney with over 20 years of workers' compensation experience in the State of Connecticut.

Louis M. Pacelli, Commissioner. Age: 58. Mr. Pacelli was appointed Commissioner of the Workers' Compensation Department in September 2004. Mr. Pacelli is a partner in the law firm of Grillo and Pacelli, LLC and has practiced general law, including workers' compensation matters, for over 20 years in the State of Connecticut.

Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority

We were established by the Tribe in July 1995 with the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Tribe on Tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. We are governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Mohegan Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in our Management Board. See “—Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut” and “Part III. Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.”

We have three major functions. The first function is to direct the operation, management and promotion of gaming enterprises and all related activities on tribal lands. The second function is to regulate gaming activities on tribal lands. Our Management Board has appointed an independent Director of Regulation responsible for the regulation of gaming activities at Mohegan Sun. The Director of Regulation serves at the will of the Management Board and ensures the integrity of gaming operation through the promulgation and enforcement of appropriate regulations. The Director of Regulation and his staff also are responsible for performing background investigations and licensing of non-gaming employees, as well as vendors seeking to provide non-gaming products or services within the casino. Pursuant to the Mohegan Compact, the State of Connecticut is responsible for performing background investigations and licensing of gaming employees, as well as gaming vendors seeking to provide gaming products or services within the casino. The third function is to identify and evaluate various diversification opportunities in conjunction with the Tribe. These opportunities primarily include the development and/or management, ownership or investment in other gaming enterprises through direct investments, acquisitions, joint venture arrangements and loan transactions.

Government Regulation

General

Our operations at Mohegan Sun are subject to certain federal, state and tribal laws applicable to both general commercial relationships with Indians and specific to Indian gaming and the management and financing of Indian casinos. Our operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs also are subject to Pennsylvania laws and regulations applicable to harness racing, simulcasting, slot machine and table gaming. The following description of the regulatory environment in which gaming takes place and in which we operate is only a summary and not a complete recitation of all applicable law. Moreover, since this regulatory environment is susceptible to changes in public policy considerations, it is impossible to predict how particular provisions will be interpreted, from time to time, or whether they will remain intact. Changes in such laws could have a material adverse impact on our operations. See “Risk Factors.”

Tribal Law and Legal Systems

Applicability of State and Federal Law

Federally-recognized Indian tribes are independent governments, subordinate to the United States, with sovereign powers, except as those powers may have been limited by treaty or by Congress. The power of Indian tribes to enact their own laws to regulate gaming derives from the exercise of this tribal sovereignty. Indian tribes maintain their own governmental systems and often their own judicial systems. Indian tribes have the right to tax persons and enterprises conducting business on tribal lands, and also have the right to require licenses and to impose other forms of regulations and regulatory fees on persons and businesses operating on their lands.

Absent the consent of the Tribe or action of Congress, the laws of the State of Connecticut do not apply to us or the Tribe.

11

Pursuant to the federal law that settled the Tribe's land claims in 1994, the United States and the Tribe consented to, among other things, the extension of Connecticut criminal law and Connecticut state traffic controls over Mohegan Sun.

Waiver of Sovereign Immunity; Jurisdiction; Exhaustion of Tribal Remedies

Indian tribes enjoy sovereign immunity from unconsented suit similar to that of the states and the United States. In order to sue an Indian tribe (or an agency or instrumentality of an Indian tribe, such as us), the Tribe must have effectively waived its sovereign immunity with respect to the matter in dispute. Further, in most commercial disputes with Indian tribes, the jurisdiction of the federal courts, which are courts of limited jurisdiction, may be difficult or impossible to obtain. A commercial dispute is unlikely to present a federal question, and some courts have ruled that an Indian tribe as a party is not a citizen of any state for purposes of establishing diversity jurisdiction in the federal courts. State courts also may lack jurisdiction over suits brought by non-Indians against Indian tribes in the State of Connecticut. The remedies available against an Indian tribe also depend, at least in part, upon the rules of comity requiring initial exhaustion of remedies in tribal tribunals and, as to some judicial remedies, the tribe's consent to jurisdictional provisions contained in the disputed agreements. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that, where a tribal court exists, jurisdiction in that forum first must be exhausted before any dispute can be heard properly by federal courts which otherwise would have jurisdiction. Where a dispute as to the jurisdiction of the tribal forum exists, the tribal court first must rule as to the limits of its own jurisdiction.

In connection with some of our contractual arrangements, including substantially all of our outstanding indebtedness, we, the Tribe, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW and to the extent applicable, Mohegan Commercial Ventures-PA, LLC, Downs Racing, Backside, L.P., Mill Creek Land, L.P. and Northeast Concessions, L.P., or collectively the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, WTG, MTGA Gaming and certain of our subsidiaries and entities have agreed to waive our and their respective sovereign immunity from unconsented suit to permit any court of competent jurisdiction to: (1) enforce and interpret the terms of our applicable outstanding indebtedness, and award and enforce the award of damages owing as a consequence of a breach thereof, whether such award is the product of litigation, administrative proceedings, or arbitration; (2) determine whether any consent or approval of the Tribe or us has been granted improperly or withheld unreasonably; (3) enforce any judgment prohibiting the Tribe or us from taking any action, or mandating or obligating the Tribe or us to take any action, including a judgment compelling the Tribe or us to submit to binding arbitration; and (4) adjudicate any claim under the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, 25 U.S.C. § 1302 (or any successor statute).

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988

Regulatory Authority

The operation of casinos and gaming on Indian lands is subject to IGRA, which is administered by the NIGC, an independent agency within the United States Department of the Interior, which exercises primary federal regulatory responsibility over Indian gaming. The NIGC has exclusive federal authority to issue regulations governing tribal gaming activities, approve tribal ordinances for regulating Class II and Class III Gaming (as described below), approve management agreements for gaming facilities, conduct investigations and generally monitor tribal gaming. Certain responsibilities under IGRA (such as the approval of gaming compacts, gaming revenue allocation plans for tribal members and the review of applications to take land into trust for gaming) are retained by the BIA. The BIA also has responsibility to review and approve certain agreements and land leases relating to Indian lands. The U.S. Department of Justice also retains responsibility for federal criminal law enforcement on the Mohegan reservation.

The NIGC is empowered to inspect and audit all Indian gaming facilities, to conduct background checks on all persons associated with Class II Gaming and management contractors involved in Class III Gaming, to hold hearings, issue subpoenas, take depositions, adopt regulations and assess fees and impose civil penalties for violations of IGRA. IGRA also prohibits illegal gaming on Indian lands and theft from Indian gaming facilities. The NIGC has adopted rules implementing specific provisions of IGRA, which govern, among other things, the submission and approval of tribal gaming ordinances or resolutions and require an Indian tribe to have the sole proprietary interest in and responsibility for the conduct of any gaming. Tribes are required to issue gaming licenses only under articulated standards, to conduct or commission financial audits of their gaming enterprises, to perform or commission background investigations for primary management officials and key employees and to maintain their facilities in a manner that adequately protects the environment and the public health and safety. These rules also set out review and reporting procedures for tribal licensing of gaming operation employees and tribal gaming facilities.

Tribal Ordinances

Under IGRA, except to the extent otherwise provided in a tribal-state compact, Indian tribal governments have primary regulatory authority over Class III Gaming on land within a tribe's jurisdiction. Therefore, our gaming operations, and persons engaged in gaming activities, are guided by and subject to the provisions of the Tribe's ordinances and regulations regarding gaming, in addition to the provisions of the Mohegan Compact.

12

IGRA requires that the NIGC review tribal gaming ordinances and authorizes the NIGC to approve such ordinances only if they meet specific requirements relating to: (1) the ownership, security, personnel background, record keeping and auditing of a tribe's gaming enterprises; (2) the use of the revenues from such gaming; and (3) the protection of the environment and the public health and safety. The Tribe adopted its gaming ordinance in July 1994, and the NIGC approved the gaming ordinance in November 1994.

Classes of Gaming

IGRA classifies games that may be conducted on Indian lands into three categories. Class I Gaming includes social games solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming engaged in by individuals as part of, or in connection with, tribal ceremonies or celebrations. Class II Gaming includes bingo, pull-tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, certain non-banked card games (if such games are played legally elsewhere in the state), instant bingo and other games similar to bingo, if those games are played at the same location where bingo is played. Class III Gaming includes all other forms of gaming, such as slot machines, video casino games (e.g., video blackjack and video poker), so-called banked table games (e.g., blackjack, craps and roulette) and other commercial gaming (e.g., sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering).

Class I Gaming on Indian lands is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Indian tribe and is not subject to IGRA. Class II Gaming is permitted on Indian lands if: (1) the state in which the Indian lands lie permits such gaming for any purpose by any person, organization or entity; (2) the gaming is not otherwise specifically prohibited on Indian lands by federal law; (3) the gaming is conducted in accordance with a tribal ordinance or resolution which has been approved by the NIGC; (4) an Indian tribe has sole proprietary interest and responsibility for the conduct of gaming; (5) the primary management officials and key employees are tribally licensed; and (6) several other requirements are met. Class III Gaming is permitted on Indian lands if the conditions applicable to Class II Gaming are met, and in addition, the gaming is conducted in conformance with the terms of a tribal-state compact (a written agreement between the tribal government and the government of the state within whose boundaries the tribe's lands lie).

With the growth of the Internet and other modern advances, computers and other technology aids are increasingly used to conduct specific kinds of gaming, such as poker or wagering on horse racing. Congress has adopted and continues to consider legislation to limit or otherwise regulate on-line gaming by U.S. residents. Individual states also are considering legislation to license and regulate Internet gaming on an intrastate basis under safe harbor provisions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, or the UIGEA, adopted in October 2006. To date, Congress has considered but not passed amendments to the UIGEA or new legislation to establish a licensing, taxing and enforcement framework for Internet gaming. The U.S. Department of Justice has brought indictments against various operators and payment processors involved in offshore on-line gaming transactions with persons located in the United States and also authored an opinion clarifying the department’s view of permissible on-line activities by state lotteries under federal law.

Tribal-State Compacts

IGRA requires states to negotiate in good faith with Indian tribes that seek to enter into tribal-state compacts for the conduct of Class III Gaming. Such tribal-state compacts may include provisions for the allocation of criminal and civil jurisdiction between the state and the Indian tribe necessary for the enforcement of laws and regulations, taxation by the Indian tribe of gaming activities in amounts comparable to those amounts assessed by the state for comparable activities, remedies for breach of compacts, standards for the operation of gaming and maintenance of gaming facilities, including licensing and any other subjects that are directly related to the operation of gaming activities. While the terms of tribal-state compacts vary from state to state, compacts within a state tend to be substantially similar. Tribal-state compacts usually specify the types of permitted games, establish technical standards for gaming, set maximum and minimum machine payout percentages, entitle the state to inspect casinos, require background investigations and licensing of casino employees and may require the tribe to pay a portion of the state's expenses for establishing and maintaining regulatory agencies. Some tribal-state compacts are for set terms, while others are for an indefinite duration.

IGRA provides that if an Indian tribe and state fail to successfully negotiate a tribal-state compact, the United States Department of the Interior may approve gaming procedures pursuant to which Class III Gaming may be conducted on Indian lands. Gaming compacts or approved gaming procedures take effect upon notice of approval by the Secretary of the Interior published in the Federal Register. The Mohegan Compact, approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior in 1994, does not have a specific term and will remain in effect until terminated by written agreement between both parties, or the provisions are modified as a result of a change in applicable law. Our gaming operations are subject to the requirements and restrictions contained in the Mohegan Compact, which authorizes the Tribe to conduct most forms of Class III Gaming.

Tribal-state compacts have been the subject of litigation in a number of states, including Alabama, California, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. Tribes frequently seek to enforce the provision of IGRA which entitles tribes to bring suit in federal court against a state that fails

13

to negotiate a tribal-state compact in good faith. The U.S. Supreme Court resolved this issue by holding that the Indian Commerce Clause does not grant Congress authority to abrogate sovereign immunity granted to the states under the Eleventh Amendment. Accordingly, IGRA does not grant jurisdiction over a state that did not consent to be sued.

There has been litigation in a number of states challenging the authority of state governors, under state law, to enter into tribal-state compacts without legislative approval. Federal courts have upheld such authority in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. The highest state courts of Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, New York and Rhode Island have held that governors in those states did not have authority to enter into such compacts without the consent or authorization of the legislatures of those states. In the New Mexico and Kansas cases, the courts held that the authority to enter into such compacts is a legislative function under their respective state constitutions. The court in the New Mexico case also held that state law does not permit casino-style gaming.

In the State of Connecticut, there has been no litigation challenging the governor's authority to enter into tribal-state compacts. If such a suit was filed, however, the Tribe does not believe that the precedent in the New Mexico or Kansas cases would apply. At the time of execution of the Mohegan Compact, the Connecticut Attorney General issued a formal opinion, which states that, “existing state statutes provide the Governor with the authority to negotiate and execute the Mohegan Compact.” Thus, the Attorney General declined to follow the Kansas case. In addition, in a case brought by the MPT, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has held that Connecticut law authorizes casino gaming. After execution of the Mohegan Compact, the Connecticut General Assembly passed a law requiring that future gaming compacts be approved by the legislature, but that law does not apply to previously executed compacts such as the Mohegan Compact.

Possible Changes in Federal Law

Bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time seeking to amend IGRA. While there have been a number of technical amendments to the law, to date, there have been no material changes to IGRA. Any amendment to IGRA could change the regulatory environment and requirements within which the Tribe could conduct gaming.

Pennsylvania Racing Regulations

Our harness racing operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is subject to extensive regulation under the Pennsylvania Racing Act. Under that law, the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission, or Harness Racing Commission, is responsible for, among other things:

• granting permission annually to maintain racing licenses and schedule races;

• approving, after a public hearing, the opening of additional OTWs and racetracks;

• approving simulcasting activities;

• licensing all officers, directors, racing officials and certain other employees of a company; and

• approving all contracts entered into by a company affecting racing, pari-mutuel wagering, phone/internet wagering and OTW operations.

As in most states, the regulations and oversight applicable to our operations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are intended primarily to safeguard the legitimacy of the sport and its freedom from inappropriate or criminal influences. The Harness Racing Commission has broad authority to regulate in the best interests of racing and may disapprove the involvement of certain personnel in our operations, deny approval of certain acquisitions following their consummation or withhold permission for a proposed OTW site for a variety of reasons, including community opposition. The Pennsylvania legislature also has reserved the right to revoke the power of the Harness Racing Commission to approve additional OTWs and could, at any time, terminate pari-mutuel wagering as a form of legalized gaming in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or subject such wagering to additional restrictive regulation or taxation.

Pennsylvania Gaming Regulations

Our slot machine and table game operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs are subject to extensive regulation under the Pennsylvania Gaming Act. Under that law, as amended, the PGCB is responsible for, among other things:

• issuing and renewing slot machine licenses and table game certificates;

• approving, after a public hearing, the granting of additional slot machine licenses or table game certificates (to the extent allowed under the Pennsylvania Gaming Act);

• licensing all officers, directors, principals and certain other employees and vendors of a company with gaming operations; and

• approving certain contracts entered into by a company affecting gaming operations.

As in most states, the regulations and oversight applicable to our operations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are intended primarily to safeguard the legitimacy of gaming and its freedom from inappropriate or criminal influences. The PGCB has broad authority to regulate in the best interests of gaming and may disapprove the involvement of certain personnel in our operations, reject certain transactions following their consummation, require divestiture by unsuitable persons or withhold permission on applicable gaming matters for a variety of reasons.

Material Agreements

The following summarizes the terms of our material agreements. This summary does not restate in entirety the terms of each agreement. We urge you to read each agreement because they, and not this summary, define our rights and obligations and, in some cases, those of the Tribe. Material agreements are included by reference to previous filings in the schedule of exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Gaming Compact with the State of Connecticut

In April 1994, the Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into the Mohegan Compact, which authorizes and regulates the Tribe's conduct of gaming on the Tribe's land in the State of Connecticut, and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior approved the Mohegan Compact by notice published in the Federal Register on December 16, 1994. The Mohegan Compact has a perpetual term and is substantively similar to the procedures that govern gaming operations of the MPT in the State of Connecticut and provide, among other things, as follows:

(1) The Tribe is authorized to conduct on its reservation those Class III Gaming activities specifically enumerated in the Mohegan Compact or amendments thereto. The forms of Class III Gaming authorized under the Mohegan Compact include: (a) specific types of games of chance; (b) video facsimiles of such authorized games of chance (i.e., slot machines); (c) off-track pari-mutuel betting on animal races; (d) pari-mutuel betting, through simulcasting, on animal races; and (e) certain other types of pari-mutuel betting on games and races conducted at the gaming facility (some types currently are together with off-track pari-mutuel telephone betting on animal races, under a moratorium).

(2) The Tribe must establish standards of operations and management of all gaming operations in order to protect the public interest, ensure the fair and honest operation of gaming activities and maintain the integrity of all Class III Gaming activities conducted on the Tribe's land. The first of these standards was set forth in the Mohegan Compact and approved by the State of Connecticut gaming agency. State of Connecticut gaming agency approval is required for any revision to such standards affecting gaming. The Tribe must supervise the implementation of these standards by regulation through a Tribal gaming agency.

(3) Criminal law enforcement matters relating to Class III Gaming activities are under the concurrent jurisdiction of the State of Connecticut and the Tribe.

(4) All gaming employees must obtain and maintain a gaming employee license issued by the State of Connecticut gaming agency.

(5) Any enterprise providing gaming services or gaming equipment to the Tribe is required to hold a valid, current gaming services registration issued by the State of Connecticut gaming agency.

(6) The State of Connecticut annually assesses the Tribe for the costs attributable to its regulation of the Tribe's gaming operations and for the provision of law enforcement at the Tribe's gaming facility.

(7) Net revenues from the Tribe's gaming operations may be applied only for purposes related to Tribal government operations and general welfare, Tribal economic development, charitable contributions and payments to local governmental agencies.

(8) Tribal ordinances and regulations governing health and safety standards at the gaming facilities shall be no less rigorous than certain State of Connecticut standards.

(9) Service of alcoholic beverages within any gaming facility is subject to regulation by the State of Connecticut.

(10) The Tribe waives any defense which it may have by virtue of sovereign immunity with respect to any action brought by the State of Connecticut to enforce the Mohegan Compact in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

In May 1994, the Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into the MOU, which sets forth certain matters regarding the implementation of the Mohegan Compact. The MOU stipulates that a portion of the revenues earned on slot machines must be paid to the State of Connecticut. This payment is known as the Slot Win Contribution. For each 12-month period commencing July 1, 1995, the Slot Win Contribution shall be the lesser of: (1) 30% of gross revenues from slot machines, or (2) the greater of (a) 25% of gross revenues from slot machines or (b) $80.0 million. The Slot Win Contribution payments will not be required if the State of Connecticut legalizes any other gaming operations with slot machines or other commercial casino games within the

15

State of Connecticut except those operations consented to by the Tribe and the MPT.

Relinquishment Agreement

In February 1998, we and Trading Cove Associates, or TCA, entered into a relinquishment agreement, or the relinquishment agreement. Effective January 1, 2000, or the relinquishment date, the relinquishment agreement superseded a then-existing management agreement with TCA. The relinquishment agreement provides, among other things, that we make certain payments to TCA out of, and determined as a percentage of, revenues, as defined under the relinquishment agreement, generated by Mohegan Sun over a 15-year period commencing on the relinquishment date. The payments, or senior relinquishment payments and junior relinquishment payments, have separate schedules and priorities. Senior relinquishment payments commenced on April 25, 2000, 25 days following the end of the first three-month period after the relinquishment date, and continue at the end of each three-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Junior relinquishment payments commenced on July 25, 2000, 25 days following the end of the first six-month period after the relinquishment date, and continue at the end of each six-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Each senior and junior relinquishment payment is 2.5% of revenues generated by Mohegan Sun over the immediate preceding three-month or six-month payment period, as the case may be. Revenues are defined under the relinquishment agreement as gross gaming revenues, other than Class II Gaming revenues, and all other revenues, as defined, including, without limitation, hotel revenues, room service revenues, food and beverage revenues, ticket revenues, fees or receipts from the convention/events center and all rental revenues or other receipts from lessees and concessionaires, but not the gross receipts of such lessees, licenses and concessionaires, derived directly or indirectly from the facilities, as defined. Revenues under the relinquishment agreement exclude revenues generated from certain expansion areas of Mohegan Sun, such as Casino of the Wind, as such areas do not constitute facilities as defined under the relinquishment agreement.

In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding, the relinquishment agreement provides that senior and junior relinquishment payments then due and owing are subordinated in right of payment to our senior secured obligations, which include our bank credit facilities, senior secured notes and capital lease obligations, and that junior relinquishment payments then due and owing are further subordinated in right of payment to all of our other senior obligations, including our senior unsecured notes. The relinquishment agreement also provides that all relinquishment payments are subordinated in right of payment to minimum priority distribution payments, which are required monthly payments made by us to the Tribe under a priority distribution agreement, to the extent then due.

In connection with the relinquishment agreement, TCA granted us an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, world-wide and royalty-free license with respect to trademarks and other similar rights, including the “Mohegan Sun” name.

Priority Distribution Agreement

In August 2001, we and the Tribe entered into an agreement, or the priority distribution agreement, which stipulates that we must make monthly payments to the Tribe to the extent of our net cash flow, as defined under the priority distribution agreement. The priority distribution agreement, which has a perpetual term, limits the maximum aggregate priority distribution payments in each calendar year to $14.0 million, as adjusted annually in accordance with a formula specified in the priority distribution agreement to reflect the effects of inflation. Payments under the priority distribution agreement: (1) do not reduce our obligations to reimburse the Tribe for governmental and administrative services provided by the Tribe or to make payments under any other agreements with the Tribe; (2) are limited obligations and are payable only to the extent of our net cash flow, as defined under the priority distribution agreement; and (3) are not secured by a lien or encumbrance on any of our assets or properties.

Town of Montville Agreement

In June 1994, the Tribe entered into an agreement with the Town of Montville, or the Town, under which the Tribe agreed to pay the Town $500,000 annually to minimize the impact of Tribe’s reservation being held in trust on the Town. The Tribe has assigned its rights and obligations under this agreement to us.

Land Lease Agreement

The land upon which Mohegan Sun is located is held in trust for the Tribe by the United States. We entered into a land lease agreement with the Tribe to lease the property and improvements and related facilities constructed or installed on the property. In March 2007, the agreement was amended to update the legal description of the property, and, in April 2007, the amended agreement was approved by the Secretary of the Interior. The following summarizes the key provisions of the land lease agreement.

Term

The term of the agreement is 25 years with an option, exercisable by us, to extend the term for one additional 25-year period. Upon termination of the agreement, we will be required to surrender to the Tribe possession of the property and improvements, excluding any equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property.

16

Rent and Other Operating Costs and Expenses

The agreement requires us to pay the Tribe a nominal annual rental fee. For any period that the Tribe or another agency or instrumentality of the Tribe is not the tenant, the rent will be 8% of such tenant’s gross revenues from the property. We are responsible for all costs and expenses of owning, operating, constructing, maintaining, repairing, replacing and insuring the property.

Use of Property

We may utilize the property and improvements solely for the operation of Mohegan Sun, unless prior approval is obtained from the Tribe for any proposed alternative use. We may not construct or alter any building or improvement located on the property unless complete and final plans and specifications are approved by the Tribe. Following foreclosure of any mortgage on our interest under the agreement or any transfer of such interest to the holder of such mortgage in lieu of foreclosure, the property and improvements may be utilized for any lawful purpose, subject to applicable codes and governmental regulations; provided, however, that a non-Indian holder of the property may under no circumstance conduct gaming operations on the property.

Permitted Mortgages and Rights of Permitted Mortgagees

We may not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber our leasehold estate in the property except to a holder of a permitted mortgage. Under the terms of the agreement, permitted mortgages include the leasehold mortgage securing our obligations under our bank credit facilities and senior secured notes, provided that, among other things: (1) the Tribe will have the right to notice of, and to cure, any default by us; (2) the Tribe will have the right to prior notice of an intention by the holder to foreclose on the permitted mortgage and the right to purchase the mortgage in lieu of any foreclosure; and (3) the permitted mortgage is subject and subordinated to any and all access and utility easements granted by the Tribe under the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, each holder of a permitted mortgage has the right to notice of any default by us under the agreement and the opportunity to cure such default within the applicable cure period.

Default Remedies

We will be in default under the agreement if, subject to the notice provisions, we fail to make lease payments or comply with covenants under the agreement or if we pledge, encumber or convey our interest in violation of the terms of the agreement. Following a default, the Tribe may, with approval from the Secretary of the Interior, terminate the agreement unless a permitted mortgage remains outstanding with respect to the property. In such case, the Tribe may not: (1) terminate the agreement or our right to possession of the property; (2) exercise any right of re-entry; (3) take possession of and/or relet the property or any portion thereof; or (4) enforce any other right or remedy, which may materially and adversely affect the rights of the holder of the permitted mortgage, unless the default triggering such rights was a monetary default of which such holder failed to cure after notice.

Agreements with Other Indian Tribes

Cowlitz Project

In September 2004, Salishan-Mohegan entered into development and management agreements with the Cowlitz Tribe in connection with the Cowlitz Project, which agreements have been amended from time to time. Under the terms of the development agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will assist in securing financing, as well as administer and oversee the planning, designing, development, construction and furnishing of the proposed casino. The development agreement provides for development fees of 3% of total project costs, as defined under the development agreement, which are to be distributed to Mohegan Ventures-NW, pursuant to the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement. In 2006, Salishan-Mohegan purchased a 152-acre site for the proposed casino, which will be transferred to the Cowlitz Tribe or the United States pursuant to the development agreement. Development of the Cowlitz Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, negotiation of a gaming compact with the State of Washington and acceptance of land into trust on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe by the United States Department of the Interior. The development agreement provides for termination of Salishan-Mohegan’s exclusive development rights if the land is not taken into trust by December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the management agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will manage, operate and maintain the proposed casino for a period of seven years following its opening. The management agreement provides for management fees of 24% of net revenues, as defined under the management agreement, which approximates net income earned from the Cowlitz Project. Under the terms of the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement, management fees will be allocated to the members of Salishan-Mohegan based on their respective membership interest. The management agreement is subject to approval by the NIGC.

17

Menominee Project

In October 2004, we entered into a management agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the MKGA, in connection with the Menominee Project. However, in February 2012, the MKGA terminated its efforts to seek NIGC approval of the management agreement.

Certain Indebtedness

Bank Credit Facilities

First Lien, First Out Credit Facility

On March 6, 2012, we entered into a fourth amended and restated bank credit facility providing for a $400.0 million term loan and a revolving loan with letter of credit and borrowing capacity of up to $75.0 million from a syndicate of financial institutions and commercial banks, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as administrative agent, or the bank credit facility. Principal outstanding on the term loan under the bank credit facility is to be repaid at a rate of $1.0 million per quarter. The bank credit facility matures on March 31, 2015, upon which date all outstanding balances are payable in full. As of September 30, 2012, there were $397.0 million in term loans and no revolving loans outstanding under the bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit issued under the bank credit facility totaled $2.3 million, of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the bank credit facility, and after taking into account restrictive financial covenant requirements, we had approximately $64.9 million of borrowing capacity under the bank credit facility as of September 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the bank credit facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate revolving loans, base rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 2.25% and 3.25%; (ii) for Eurodollar rate revolving loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 3.50% and 4.50%; (iii) for base rate term loans, base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25%; and (iv) for Eurodollar rate term loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.50%. For Eurodollar rate term loans, LIBOR is subject to a 1.0% floor. There also is a fee of between 0.25% and 0.50%, based on a leverage-based pricing grid, charged on unused revolving commitments. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period for periods of three months or less and for loans of more than three months, each March, June, September or December that occurs after the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2012, the $397.0 million in term loans outstanding were based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.0% plus an applicable margin of 4.50%. The applicable margin for commitment fees was 0.50% as of September 30, 2012.

Our obligations under the bank credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW, WTG and MTGA Gaming, collectively, the guarantors. The bank credit facility is collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of our property and assets and those of the guarantors (other than MBC), including the assets that comprise Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and a leasehold mortgage on the land and improvements that comprise Mohegan Sun (we and the guarantors, other than MBC, are collectively referred to herein as the grantors). The grantors also are required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the bank credit facility as they and future guarantor subsidiaries acquire them. The liens and security interests granted by the grantors as security for our obligations under the bank credit facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing the term loan facility (as defined below) and the 2009 second lien notes, 2012 second lien notes and 2012 third lien notes (each as defined below and, collectively, the secured notes). The collateral securing the bank credit facility constitutes substantially all of the grantors' property and assets that secure the term loan facility and the secured notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the bank credit facility.

The bank credit facility contains negative covenants applicable to us and the guarantors, including negative covenants governing incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, investments, asset sales, affiliate transactions, mergers or consolidations and capital expenditures. Additionally, the bank credit facility includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to total leverage, senior leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage.

First Lien, Second Out Term Loan Facility

On March 6, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement providing for a $225.0 million first lien, second out term loan with Wells Fargo Gaming Capital, LLC serving as Administrative Agent, or the term loan facility. The term loan facility was issued at a price of 98.0% of par, for an initial yield of approximately 9.6%per annum. The term loan facility has no mandatory amortization and is payable in full on March 31, 2016. The net proceeds from the term loan facility were used to refinance our existing indebtedness, permanently reduce commitments under the bank credit facility and pay accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection with our refinancing transactions consummated on March 6, 2012.

Loans under the term loan facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans, base rate plus 6.50% per annum and (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans, LIBOR plus 7.50% per annum. In all cases, LIBOR is subject to a 1.50% floor. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period or every quarter in arrears, if an interest period exceeds three months. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2012, we had a $225.0 million Eurodollar rate loan outstanding, which was based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.50% plus an applicable margin of 7.50%. As of September 30, 2012, accrued interest on the term loan facility was $1.2 million.

Our term loan facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the guarantors. The liens and security interests granted by the grantors as security for our obligations under the term loan facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing any of the secured notes. The collateral securing the term loan facility constitutes substantially all of the grantors' property and assets that secure the bank credit facility and the secured notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the term loan facility.

The term loan facility contains negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants that are substantially the same as those contained in the bank credit facility. The term loan facility also includes a separate first lien leverage ratio covenant.

Interest on the 2005 senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on February 15^th and August 15^th.

On March 6, 2012, we completed a private exchange offer and consent solicitation for any or all of our outstanding 2005 senior subordinated notes. As part of the exchange offer, we solicited and received consents from tendering holders to certain amendments to the indentures governing the 2005 senior subordinated notes, which eliminated certain covenants under the notes and related indenture. The aggregate principal amount of 2005 senior subordinated notes tendered and exchanged was $140.3 million. An aggregate principal amount of $9.7 million of the 2005 senior subordinated notes remains outstanding as of September 30, 2012.

2012 11% Senior Subordinated Notes

On March 6, 2012, we issued $344.2 million senior subordinated toggle notes with fixed interest payable at a rate of 11%per annum, or the 2012 senior subordinated notes, in exchange for $203.8 million of 2004 senior subordinated notes and $140.3 million of 2005 senior subordinated notes. The 2012 senior subordinated notes mature on September 15, 2018. We may redeem the 2012 senior subordinated notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. If a change of control of us occurs, we must offer to repurchase the 2012 senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. In addition, if we undertake certain types of asset sales or suffers events of loss, and we do not use the related sale or insurance proceeds for specified purposes, we may be required to offer to repurchase the 2012 senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. Interest on the 2012 senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on March 15^th and September 15^th, commencing September 15, 2012. The initial interest payment on the 2012 senior subordinated notes is payable entirely in cash. For any subsequent interest payment period through March 15, 2018, we may, at our option, elect to pay interest on the 2012 senior subordinated notes either entirely in cash or by paying up to 2% in 2012 senior subordinated notes, or PIK interest. If we elect to pay PIK interest, such election will increase the principal amount of the 2012 senior subordinated notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK interest for the applicable interest payment period to holders of 2012 senior subordinated notes on the relevant record date.

The 2012 senior subordinated notes and guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

21

Our senior subordinated notes are uncollateralized general obligations, and are subordinated to borrowings under the bank credit facility, term loan facility, 2009 second lien notes, 2012 second lien notes, 2012 third lien notes and 2005 senior unsecured notes. The senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The senior and senior subordinated note indentures contain certain non-financial and financial covenant requirements with which we and the Tribe must comply. The non-financial covenant requirements include, among other things, reporting obligations, compliance with laws and regulations, maintenance of licenses and insurances and our continued existence. The financial covenant requirements include, among other things, subject to certain exceptions, limitations on our and the guarantors' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company, transfer or sell assets or impair assets constituting collateral.

We or our affiliates may, from time to time, seek to purchase or otherwise retire outstanding indebtedness for cash in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such transaction will depend on prevailing market conditions and our liquidity and covenant requirement restrictions, among other factors.

Line of Credit

As of September 30, 2012, we had a $16.5 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., or the line of credit. The line of credit was amended in March 2012 to, among other things, extend the maturity date to March 31, 2015. Pursuant to provisions of the bank credit facility, the line of credit may be replaced by an autoborrow loan governed by the terms of an autoborrow agreement described in the bank credit facility. Under the line of credit, each advance accrues interest on the basis of a one-month LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin based on our total leverage ratio, as each term is defined under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are uncollateralized obligations. As of September 30, 2012, no amount was drawn on the line of credit. The line of credit contains negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants that are substantially the same as those contained in the bank credit facility.

2009 Mohegan Tribe Promissory Note

In September 2009, the Tribe made a $10.0 million loan to Salishan-Mohegan, referred to herein as the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note. The 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note was amended in March 2012 to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2014. As amended, the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10.0%. Accrued interest is payable quarterly in the amount of $1.2 million, commencing December 31, 2013 and continuing through June 31, 2014, with the balance of accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. Principal outstanding under the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note amortizes as follows: (i) $1.625 million per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012 and continuing through September 30, 2013 and (ii) $875,000 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2013.

2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust Promissory Note

In March 2012, Comerica Bank & Trust, N.A., Trustee f/b/o The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut Minor's Trust, made a $20.0 million loan to Salishan-Mohegan, referred to herein as the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note, the proceeds of which were used to repay, among other things, the Salishan-Mohegan bank credit facility. The 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note matures on March 31, 2016. The 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10.0%. Accrued interest is payable quarterly, commencing June 30, 2012. Principal outstanding under the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note amortizes as follows: (i) $500,000 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012 and continuing through September 30, 2014 and (ii) $1.5 million per quarter, commencing December 31, 2014 and continuing to maturity.

Mohegan Tribe Credit Facility

In 2011, the Tribe provided Salishan-Mohegan with a $1.75 million revolving credit facility, or the Mohegan Tribe credit facility. The Mohegan Tribe credit facility was amended in March 2012 to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2013 and reduce the borrowing capacity to $1.45 million. The Mohegan Tribe credit facility accrues interest at an annual rate of 15.0% payable at maturity. As amended, principal outstanding under the Mohegan Tribe credit facility amortizes at a rate of $362,500 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Mohegan Tribe credit facility was fully drawn.

Salishan-Mohegan Bank Credit Facility

Salishan-Mohegan previously had a $15.25 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., or the Salishan-Mohegan bank credit facility. The Salishan-Mohegan bank credit facility, including accrued interest, matured in March 2012, at

22

which time it was repaid with proceeds from the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note.

Downs Lodging Credit Facility

On July 16, 2012, Downs Lodging, a single purpose entity and our wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary, entered into a credit agreement providing for a $45.0 million term loan, or the Downs Lodging credit facility, from a third-party lender. The proceeds of the Downs Lodging credit facility will be used by Downs Lodging to finance Project Sunlight, a hotel and convention center expansion project being developed and built by Downs Lodging at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The Downs Lodging credit facility matures on July 12, 2016 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 13.0%. Under the terms of the Downs Lodging credit facility, accrued interest of 10.0% is payable monthly in cash during the term of the loan, with the remaining 3.0% due at maturity. In addition, a 3.0% exit fee is payable upon repayment of the loan principal. The Downs Lodging credit facility is a senior secured obligation of Downs Lodging, collateralized by all existing and future assets of Downs Lodging. The Downs Lodging credit facility subjects Downs Lodging to certain covenant requirements customarily found in loan agreements for similar transactions.

Environmental Matters

The site on which Mohegan Sun is located was formerly occupied by United Nuclear Corporation, a naval products manufacturer of, among other things, nuclear reactor fuel components. United Nuclear Corporation’s facility was officially decommissioned in June 1994 when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission confirmed that all licensable quantities of such nuclear material had been removed from the site and that any residual contamination from such material was remediated according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved decommissioning plan.

From 1991 through 1993, United Nuclear Corporation commissioned environmental audits and soil sampling programs which detected, among other things, volatile organic chemicals, heavy metals and fuel hydrocarbons in the soil and groundwater. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, or the DEP, reviewed the environmental audits and reports and established cleanup requirements for the site. In December 1994, the DEP approved United Nuclear Corporation’s remedial plan, which determined that groundwater remediation was unnecessary because although the groundwater beneath the site was contaminated, it met the applicable groundwater criteria given the classification of the groundwater under the site. In addition, extensive remediation of contaminated soils and additional investigation were completed to achieve the DEP’s cleanup criteria and demonstrate that the remaining soils complied with applicable cleanup criteria. Initial construction at the site also involved extensive soil excavation. According to the data gathered in a 1995 environmental report commissioned by United Nuclear Corporation, remediation is complete and is consistent with the applicable Connecticut cleanup requirements. The DEP has reviewed and approved the cleanup activities at the site, and, as part of the DEP’s approval, United Nuclear Corporation was required to perform post-closure groundwater monitoring at the site to ensure the adequacy of the cleanup. In addition, under the terms of United Nuclear Corporation’s environmental certification and indemnity agreement with the Department of the Interior (which took the former United Nuclear Corporation land into trust for the Tribe), United Nuclear Corporation agreed to indemnify the Department of the Interior for environmental actions and expenses based on acts or conditions existing or occurring as a result of United Nuclear Corporation’s activities on the property.

We are not currently incurring, and did not incur in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, any material costs related to compliance with environmental requirements with respect to the Mohegan Sun site’s former use by the United Nuclear Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assurance can be given that any existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, or that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise currently exist.

Prior to acquiring our interest in Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, we conducted an extensive environmental investigation of the Pocono Downs facilities. In the course of that investigation, we identified several environmental conditions that required corrective actions to bring the property into compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These remedial actions, including an ongoing monitoring program for the portion of the property that was formerly used as a solid waste landfill, were addressed as part of a comprehensive plan that was implemented in July 2008.

Employees and Labor Relations

As of September 30, 2012, the Connecticut facilities employed approximately 6,250 full-time employees and 1,500 seasonal, part-time and on-call employees. Pursuant to the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance, when recruiting and hiring personnel, except with respect to key personnel, Mohegan Sun is obligated to give preference first to qualified members of the Tribe and then to enrolled members of other Indian tribes. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” None of Mohegan Sun’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

23

As of September 30, 2012, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs employed approximately 1,050 full-time employees and 780 part-time and on-call employees. Certain of our Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs’ employees are represented under collective bargaining agreements between Downs Racing and either, the International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 542C, or Local Union 542C, or Teamsters Local No. 401, or Local No. 401. The agreement with Local Union 542C expires on March 31, 2013 and relates to equipment and heavy equipment operators. The agreement with Local No. 401 expires on January 31, 2017 and relates to truck drivers and maintenance employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, set forth below are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us, whether oral or written. We wish to ensure that any forward-looking statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements in order to maximize to the fullest extent possible the protections of the safe harbor established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Refer also to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

We currently have and will continue to have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2012, our debt totaled $1.7 billion. As of September 30, 2012, there were $622.0 million in term loans outstanding under our bank credit facilities. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit issued under our bank credit facilities totaled $2.3 million, of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under our bank credit facilities, and after taking into account restrictive financial covenant requirements, we had approximately $64.9 million of borrowing capacity under our bank credit facilities as of September 30, 2012.

Our substantial indebtedness could have significant adverse effects on our business. Such adverse effects include, but are not limited to, the following:

• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt service obligations;

• increase our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general operating requirements;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the gaming industry, which may place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with stronger liquidity positions, thereby negatively affecting our results of operations and ability to meet our debt service obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness;

• restrict us from exploring or taking advantage of business opportunities;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt; and

• limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our outstanding indebtedness, the ability to borrow additional funds for working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general operating requirements on satisfactory terms or at all.

In addition, our bank credit facilities and the indentures governing our existing senior and senior subordinated notes contain, and the agreements evidencing or governing other future indebtedness may contain, restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the required repayment of some or all of our indebtedness.

We, the Tribe and our wholly-owned subsidiaries may not be subject to the federal bankruptcy laws, which could impair the ability of creditors to participate in the realization on our or our subsidiaries' assets or the restructuring of related liabilities if we are unwilling or unable to meet our debt service obligations.

    We, the Tribe and our wholly-owned subsidiaries may or may not be subject to, or permitted to seek protection under, the federal bankruptcy laws since an Indian tribe and we, as an instrumentality of the Tribe, may or may not be eligible to be a debtor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, our creditors may not be able to seek liquidation of our assets or other action under federal bankruptcy laws. Also, the Gaming Disputes Court may lack powers typically associated with a federal bankruptcy court, such as the power to non-consensually alter liabilities, direct the priority of creditors' claims and liquidate certain assets. The Gaming Disputes Court is a court of limited jurisdiction and may not have jurisdiction over all creditors of ours or our

24

subsidiaries or over all of the territory in which we and our subsidiaries carry on business.

A person or entity's ability to enforce its rights against us is limited by our sovereign immunity and that of the Tribe, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW and, to the extent applicable, the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, WTG and MTGA Gaming.

Although we, the Tribe, MBC, Mohegan Ventures-NW, Mohegan Golf, MVW, and to the extent applicable, the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, WTG and MTGA Gaming, each have sovereign immunity and generally may not be sued without our and their respective consents, a limited waiver of sovereign immunity and consent to suit has been granted in connection with substantially all of our outstanding indebtedness. Each such waiver includes suits against us to enforce our obligation to repay certain outstanding indebtedness. Generally, waivers of sovereign immunity have been held to be enforceable against Indian tribes. In the event that any waiver of sovereign immunity is held to be ineffective, a claimant could be precluded from judicially enforcing its rights and remedies. With limited exceptions, we, the Tribe, MBC, Mohegan Ventures-NW, Mohegan Golf, MVW, the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, WTG and MTGA Gaming have not waived sovereign immunity from private civil suits, including violations of the federal securities laws. For this reason, a claimant may not have any remedy against us, the Tribe, MBC, Mohegan Ventures-NW, Mohegan Golf, MVW, the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, WTG or MTGA Gaming for violations of federal securities laws.

Disputes may be brought in a federal or state court that has jurisdiction over the matter. However, federal courts may not exercise jurisdiction over disputes not arising under federal law or between litigants that are not citizens of different states, and some courts have ruled that an Indian tribe is not a citizen of any state for purposes of obtaining federal diversity jurisdiction. Without our consent, state courts may not exercise jurisdiction over disputes with us arising on the Mohegan reservation. In addition, the Tribe's Constitution has established a special court, the Gaming Disputes Court, to rule on disputes with respect to Mohegan Sun. The federal and state courts, under the doctrines of comity and exhaustion of tribal remedies, may (1) defer to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Disputes Court or (2) require that any plaintiff exhaust its remedies in the Gaming Disputes Court before bringing any action in federal or state court. Thus, there may be no federal or state court forum with respect to a dispute.

If an event of default occurs in connection with our indebtedness, no assurance can be given that a forum will be available to creditors other than the Gaming Disputes Court. In such court, there are presently limited precedents for the interpretation of Tribal law with respect to insolvency. Any execution of a judgment of the Gaming Disputes Court or any other court on Tribal lands will require the cooperation of the Tribe's officials in the exercise of their police powers. Thus, to the extent that a judgment of the Gaming Disputes Court must be executed on Tribal lands, the practical realization of any benefit of such a judgment will be dependent upon the willingness and ability of Tribal officials to carry out such judgment. In addition, the land on which Mohegan Sun is located is owned by the United States in trust for the Tribe, and our creditors and the creditors of the Tribe may not foreclose upon or obtain title to the land. Additionally, although we do not presently hold any fee interest in real property, if we did in the future, federal law may not allow for real property interest to be mortgaged or, if mortgaged, transferred as a result of foreclosure.

Any rights as a creditor are limited to our assets and those of our guarantor subsidiaries.

Any rights as a creditor in a bankruptcy, if applicable, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding would be limited to our assets and the assets of our guarantor subsidiaries, and would not encompass the assets of any other subsidiary that is not a guarantor, the Tribe or its other affiliates.

Our failure to generate sufficient cash flows and current and future economic and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to fulfill our debt service obligations.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend upon our ability to generate cash flows from operations in the future and current and future economic and credit market conditions. Our ability to generate cash flows is subject to financial, economic, political, competitive, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We continue to monitor revenues and expenditures to ensure continued compliance with our financial covenant requirements under both our bank credit facilities and our bond indentures. While we anticipate that we will remain in compliance with all covenant requirements for all periods prior to maturity, we may need to increase revenues or offset any future declines in revenues by implementing further cost containment and other initiatives in order to maintain compliance with these financial covenant requirements. If we are unable to satisfy our financial covenant requirements, we would need to obtain waivers or consents; however, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to obtain such waivers or consents. If we are unable to obtain such waivers or consents, we would be in default under our debt documents, which may result in cross-defaults under our other outstanding indebtedness and allow our lenders and creditors to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements, including their right to accelerate the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness. If such acceleration were to occur, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to obtain the financing necessary to repay such accelerated indebtedness. There is also a risk that the banks that participate in our bank credit facilities may not be able to perform when we request additional funds to be advanced to us under our bank credit facilities. If funds are not available to be drawn under the terms of our bank credit facilities, we may not be able to secure additional financing.

25

Restrictions contained in our bank credit facilities and the indentures to which we are a party may impose limits on our ability to pursue our business strategies.

Our bank credit facilities and the indentures to which we are a party contain customary operating and financial restrictions that limit our discretion on various business matters. These restrictions include, among other things, covenants limiting our ability to:

• incur additional indebtedness;

• pay dividends or make other distributions;

• make certain investments;

• use assets as security in other transactions;

• sell certain assets or merge with or into another person;

• grant liens;

• make capital expenditures; and

• enter into transactions with affiliates.

These restrictions may, among other things, reduce our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the gaming industry in general and thereby may negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.

Our bank credit facilities require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and not to exceed certain ratios of senior leverage and total leverage, and our term loan facility also requires us to maintain a first lien leverage ratio, all as defined under the applicable facility. If these ratios are not maintained or are exceeded, as applicable, it may not be possible for us to borrow additional funds to meet our obligations.

In addition, our indentures place certain limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness. Under these indentures, we are generally able to incur indebtedness that otherwise may be restricted, provided we meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined. At September 30, 2012, we were above the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. If we were to fall below the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, our ability to incur additional debt would be limited and subject to other applicable exceptions contained in the indentures, and the options available to us to refinance our existing indebtedness would be restricted. We may need to obtain waivers or consents from our lenders in order to obtain additional debt or refinance our existing debt on satisfactory terms; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such waivers or consents. In such event, it may not be possible for us to borrow additional funds to meet our obligations or refinance our maturities.

Additionally, our failure to comply with covenants in our debt instruments could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us and could result in the acceleration of the required repayment of some or all of the then-outstanding amounts of such debt and an inability to make debt service payments.

Continued weakness or a further downturn in the United States economy could negatively impact our financial performance.

During periods of economic contraction, our revenues may decrease while some of our costs remain fixed, resulting in decreased earnings since gaming and other leisure activities that we offer are discretionary expenditures and participation in such activities may decline during economic downturns because consumers have less disposable income. Even an uncertain economic outlook may adversely affect consumer spending in our gaming operations and related facilities, because consumers spend less in anticipation of a potential economic downturn.

The recent global economic recession negatively impacted consumer confidence and the amount of consumer spending at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Continued adverse economic conditions such as a prolonged regional, national or global general economic downturn or slow growth, including periods of increased inflation, rising unemployment levels, tax rates, interest rates, energy and gasoline prices or declining consumer confidence could also further reduce consumer spending. Reduced consumer spending has and may continue to result in an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase the cost and reduce the availability of sources of financing, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results. If adverse economic conditions continue or worsen, our business, assets, financial condition and results of operations could continue to be affected adversely.

Our diversification efforts may not be successful.

We receive and evaluate various opportunities to diversify our business interests. These opportunities primarily include the development and/or management of, investment in, or ownership of other gaming enterprises through direct investments, acquisitions, joint venture arrangements and loan transactions. We are currently pursuing diversification efforts in Clark County,

26

Washington, and Palmer, Massachusetts, and we are evaluating other opportunities in various jurisdictions. Each of these efforts may require various levels of regulatory or legislative approval, and may require the commitment of financial and capital resources, and a failure to achieve any such approval or to obtain or generate sufficient funds to meet such financial or capital requirements may result in the termination of the respective project. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will continue to pursue any of these opportunities or that any of them will be consummated.

The loss of a key management member could have a material adverse effect on us, Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Our success depends in large part on the continued service of key management personnel. The loss of the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our key management personnel are currently retained pursuant to employment agreements.

The non-impairment provision of the Tribe's Constitution is subject to change.

Unlike states, the Tribe is not subject to the U.S. Constitution's provision restricting governmental impairment of contracts. The Tribe's Constitution currently has a provision that prohibits the Tribe from enacting any law that would impair the obligations of contracts entered into in furtherance of the development, construction, operation and promotion of gaming on Tribal lands. However, this provision could be amended by a vote of 75% of the Tribe's registered voters to impair the obligation of such contracts.

We and the Guarantors are controlled by a tribal government and may not necessarily be operated in the same way as if we and they were privately owned for-profit businesses.

We and the guarantors are subject to control by the Tribe. Our Management Board is comprised of the same nine members as the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe with legislative and executive authority. As a sovereign government, the Tribe is governed by officials elected by tribal members who have a responsibility for the general welfare of all members of the Tribe. In making decisions relative to us and the guarantors, these officials may consider the interests of their electorate, instead of pure economic or other business factors.

We may be subject to material environmental liability, including as a result of possible incomplete remediation of known environmental hazards and the existence of unknown environmental hazards.

Our properties and operations are subject to a wide range of federal, state, local and tribal environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, management and disposal of, or exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes, and the clean-up of contamination. Noncompliance with such laws and regulations, and past or future activities resulting in environmental releases, could affect our operations or could cause us to incur substantial costs, including clean-up costs, fines and penalties, or investments to retrofit or upgrade our facilities and programs. In addition, should unknown contamination be discovered on our property, or should a release of hazardous material occur on our property, we could be required to investigate and clean up the contamination and could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third-parties for personal injury, property damage or investigation and clean-up costs, which may be substantial. Moreover, such contamination may also impair the use or value of the affected property. Liability for contamination could be joint and several in nature, and in many instances can be imposed on the owner or operator of property regardless of whether it is responsible for creating the contamination or is otherwise at fault.

At both the Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs properties, investigations and remedial actions have been successfully undertaken to address significant site contamination resulting from historical operations. The site on which Mohegan Sun is located was formerly occupied by United Nuclear Corporation, a naval products manufacturer of, among other things, nuclear reactor fuel components. Prior to the decommissioning of the United Nuclear Corporation facilities on the site, extensive investigations were completed and contaminated soils were remediated to applicable standards. Prior to our taking possession of the property and development of Mohegan Sun, the site was determined to be safe for general public use.

Prior to acquiring our interest in Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, we conducted an extensive environmental investigation of the Pocono Downs facilities. In the course of that investigation, we identified several environmental conditions that required corrective actions to bring the property into compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These remedial actions, including an ongoing monitoring program for the portion of the property that was formerly used as a solid waste landfill, were addressed as part of a comprehensive plan that was implemented by Downs Racing in July 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot assure you that:

• any environmental reports or studies prepared with respect to these sites or any other properties owned or operated by us revealed all environmental liabilities;

27

• prior owners or tenants did not create any material environmental condition not presently known to us that may be discovered in the future;

• future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability with regard to existing conditions or operations; or

• a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist on any site.

Any of the above could have a material adverse effect upon our future operating results and ability to meet our debt service obligations.

Our business could be affected by weather-related factors.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by weather-related factors, such as the unfavorable winter weather conditions experienced during December 2010 and January and February 2011, and the effects of Hurricane Irene in August and September 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in September 2012. Severe weather conditions may discourage potential patrons from traveling, or may deter or prevent patrons from reaching our facilities. If this occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results and ability to meet our debt service obligations.

Energy and fuel price increases may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our properties use significant amounts of electricity, natural gas and other forms of energy. Increases in the cost of any of our sources of energy may negatively affect our results of operations. In addition, energy and fuel price increases could negatively impact our business and results of operations by causing a decrease in visitation to our properties, including by making it difficult for potential patrons to travel to our properties, or by causing patrons who do visit our properties to decrease their spending, including due to reductions in disposable income as a result of escalating energy and fuel prices.

Our information technology and other systems are subject to cyber security risk including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security.

We rely upon sophisticated information technology networks, systems and infrastructure, some of which are managed by third-parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Additionally, we collect and store sensitive data, including proprietary business information. Despite security measures, our information technology networks and infrastructure may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to attack by hackers or breaches, employee error or malfeasance, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures, systems failures, natural disasters or other catastrophic events. Likewise, data privacy or security breaches by employees and others with permitted access to our systems, including in some cases third-party service providers to which we may outsource certain business functions, may pose a risk that sensitive data, including intellectual property or personal information, may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure could interfere with our operations, compromise information belonging to us and our customers and suppliers, and expose us to liability which could adversely impact our business and/or result in the loss of critical or sensitive information, which could result in financial, legal, business or reputational harm.

Risks Related to Mohegan Sun

We face intense competition in our primary market from Foxwoods.

The existing gaming industry in our primary market is highly competitive. Mohegan Sun primarily competes with Foxwoods, which is owned and operated by the MPT. Foxwoods is located approximately 10 miles from Mohegan Sun and is reportedly one of the largest gaming facilities in the United States in terms of total gaming positions. Foxwoods has been in operation for more than 20 years. In addition, in August 2012, the MPT announced the planned restructuring of approximately $2.2 billion of its debt obligations. It is uncertain whether this restructuring will give Foxwoods a competitive advantage over Mohegan Sun.

In addition to Foxwoods, we also face competition from casinos and other gaming operations elsewhere in our market areas.

While Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods are the only two current gaming operations in southern New England offering traditional slot machines and table games, we face new competition in the State of New York with the October 2011 opening of Resorts World and ongoing competition from other racino and VLT facilities in the states of New York and Rhode Island. In addition, in November 2012, voters in the State of Rhode Island approved the addition of table games at Twin River Casino. Casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and several casinos and gaming facilities located on Indian tribal lands in the State of New York, as well as newly authorized or expanded gaming facilities and gaming offerings in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions

28

also contribute to the competitive landscape in the northeastern United States. Additionally, we face existing and future competition in and from the Northeastern Pennsylvania gaming market, both in the immediate market for Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, and for Mohegan Sun, in marketing to and attracting patrons from the New York City metropolitan region. New or expanded gaming facilities in the states of Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia also may attract patrons from that region.

Racinos in Yonkers, Queens, Batavia, Hamburg, Nichols, Vernon, Monticello, Saratoga Springs and Farmington, New York, reportedly operate approximately 17,000 VLTs, including electronic table game positions. While Twin River Casino and Newport Grand in the State of Rhode Island reportedly offer approximately 5,700 VLTs, including electronic table game positions. Given the geographic proximity of Empire City and Resorts World to New York City and Twin River to Boston, these facilities may have distinct advantages over Mohegan Sun in competition for day-trip and other patrons from the New York and Boston metropolitan regions.

Mohegan Sun also competes for patrons with casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Many of these casinos may have greater resources, operating experience and name recognition than Mohegan Sun. In addition, the State of New Jersey and the Atlantic City gaming market, in particular, continue to implement legislative reforms adopted in 2011 and public-private initiatives to revitalize gaming in the state and respond to competition from expanded gaming in nearby states.

New market entrants in our market areas or the expansion of on-line gaming could adversely affect our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

In November 2011, the governor of Massachusetts signed into law comprehensive gaming legislation which authorizes up to three casino resort licenses and one facility limited to 1,250 slot machines in Massachusetts to be licensed by the new gaming commission, which held its first meeting in April 2012. In the State of Maine, Hollywood Casino Bangor added table games in March 2012 to its racino, while, in June 2012, Oxford Casino opened its first phase and, in September 2012, announced an expansion that will reportedly add hundreds of slot machines and several table games. In the State of Rhode Island, voters approved the addition of table game operation at Twin River Casino. In March 2012, the New York state legislature and governor approved the first step towards amending the state constitution to authorize traditional table game operations at up to seven full-scale casinos in the state. If approved by the next legislature, which convenes in January 2013, the constitutional amendment would have to be approved by a majority of voters in a state-wide ballot. Gaming compact and other disputes between the State of New York and Indian tribes currently engaged in gaming in that state may increase the likelihood of new Indian tribal or commercial gaming in the Catskills region or the passage of a constitutional amendment to allow table gaming at state-licensed racinos or elsewhere in the state.

Federal recognition of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2007 and the Shinnecock Indian Tribe of New York in October 2010 in addition to tribal gaming related provisions in the gaming legislation passed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts also increase the likelihood that there will be new Indian tribal gaming in the region in the future. Other federally-recognized Indian tribes continue to pursue tribal commercial casinos in the Catskills region of the State of New York and elsewhere in the region. Other groups seeking federal recognition as Indian tribes with an interest in engaging in commercial casino gaming in the Northeastern United States also may continue those efforts. In addition, Indian tribal groups from the State of Connecticut whose petitions have been rejected in recent years by the BIA may be successful with appeals or reconsiderations of those petitions.

In the State of Connecticut, the state lottery has sought to expand its choice of games to include keno, and the new legislature in 2013 may again consider legislation to repeal a state statute which restricts the state lottery from conducting on-line interactive lottery games and promotions. Furthermore, Congress and various states, including New Hampshire and New Jersey, have renewed efforts to pass legislation to license and tax internet poker and other on-line gaming, while state lotteries in New York and Illinois have sought and received favorable opinions from the U.S. Department of Justice on their ability to conduct certain activities on-line under federal law. The State of New Jersey also has passed legislation related to sports wagering and is involved in litigation challenging the federal law which restricts legalized sports wagering to certain states.

Based on our analysis of existing and potential gaming activity in our market areas, we believe that competition from other commercial casino gaming operations will continue to increase in the future. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where an affiliate owned by us and the Tribe has leased property which would serve as a potential site for gaming development, we are unable to predict if we will be successful in our efforts. We also are unable to predict whether any of the efforts discussed above by federally-recognized Indian tribes, Indian tribal groups attempting to gain federal recognition as Indian tribes or commercial casino gaming operators will be successful. In addition, we are unable to predict whether on-line gaming legislation will be adopted on a federal basis, an intrastate basis in one or more of the states in which we operate or compete for patrons or among more than one state under a multi-state compact, and the impact of such legislation on our business. Additionally, we are unable to predict whether on-line gaming or sports wagering will be expanded under existing law on an intrastate or national basis. If new gaming

29

operations are established or those operating or under construction are expanded, we are uncertain of the impact such gaming operations will have on our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Because the gaming industry in the State of Connecticut has experienced seasonal fluctuations in the past, we also may experience seasonal variations in our revenues and operating results that could adversely affect our cash flows.

The gaming industry in the State of Connecticut has experienced seasonal fluctuations, with the heaviest gaming activity occurring between the months of May and August. Similarly, the heaviest gaming activity at Mohegan Sun has occurred between the months of May and August. As a result of these seasonal fluctuations, we likely will continue to experience seasonal variations in our quarterly revenues and operating results that could result in decreased cash flows during periods in which gaming activity is not at peak levels. These variations in quarterly revenues and operating results could adversely affect our overall financial condition.

Negative conditions affecting the lodging industry may have an adverse effect on our revenues and cash flows.

We depend on the revenues generated from the hotel at Mohegan Sun, together with the revenues generated from the other portions of Mohegan Sun, to meet our debt service obligations and fund our operations. Revenues generated from the operation of the hotel are subject primarily to conditions affecting our gaming operations, but also are subject to the lodging industry in general, and as a result, our cash flows and financial performance may be affected not only by the conditions in the gaming industry, but also by those in the lodging industry. Some of these conditions are as follows:

• changes in the local, regional or national economic climate;

• changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of hotel properties;

• decreases in the level of demand for hotel rooms and related services;

• the attractiveness of our hotel to patrons and competition from comparable hotels;

• cyclical over-building in the hotel industry;

• changes in travel patterns;

• public health concerns affecting public accommodations or travel generally or regionally;

• changes in room rates and increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors; and

• the periodic need to repair and renovate the hotel.

The recent global economic recession has had a negative impact on the lodging industry and on our financial results. The continuation of, or adverse changes in, these conditions could further adversely affect our hotel's financial performance and results of operations.

Our obligations under the relinquishment agreement could affect adversely our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our debt service obligations.

Pursuant to the terms of the relinquishment agreement, we are required, among other things, to pay TCA 5% of certain revenues (as defined under the relinquishment agreement) generated by certain areas of Mohegan Sun during the 15-year period which commenced on January 1, 2000. Relinquishment payments totaled $54.3 million and $55.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

This obligation consumes a significant portion of our operating cash flows that might otherwise be available for, among other things, interest payments, capital expenditures, distributions to the Tribe, working capital needs and debt reduction. As a result, our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the gaming industry in general is reduced. This may place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that do not have such an obligation.

Our renovation projects may face significant inherent risks that could adversely affect our financial condition.

Construction costs and completion dates for renovation projects are based on budgets, design documents and schedule estimates prepared with the assistance of architects, contractors and consultants. Such projects are inherently subject to significant development and construction risks, which could cause unanticipated cost increases. These include the following:

• escalation of construction costs above anticipated amounts;

• shortage of material and skilled labor;

• weather interference;

• engineering problems;

• environmental problems;

30

• fire, flood and other natural disasters;

• labor disputes; and

• geological, construction, demolition, excavation and/or equipment problems.

Furthermore, while construction activities may be planned to minimize disruption, construction noise and debris and the temporary closing of some of the facility, such activities may disrupt our current operations. Unexpected construction delays could exacerbate or magnify these disruptions. We cannot assure you that any construction, renovation or expansion projects will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may suspend or elect not to proceed with construction, renovation or expansion projects once they have been undertaken, resulting in charges that could adversely affect our financial condition.

In connection with any of our construction, renovation or expansion projects, we may suspend, elect not to proceed with or fail to complete such projects once they have been undertaken. In such cases, we may be required to carry assets on our balance sheet for suspended projects or incur significant costs relating to design and construction work performed and materials purchased that may no longer be useful for terminated projects. In addition, our agreements or arrangements with third-parties relating to the suspension or termination of such projects could cause us to incur additional fees and costs. Our suspension of, election not to proceed with, or failure to complete any construction, renovation or expansion projects may result in adverse effects to our financial condition.

The risks associated with operating expanded facilities and managing growth could have a material adverse effect on Mohegan Sun's future performance.

We may expand our facilities from time to time. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in integrating the new amenities from such expansions into Mohegan Sun's current operations or in managing the expanded resort. Failure to successfully integrate and manage new services and amenities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.

Risks Related to the Indian Gaming Industry

Gaming is a highly regulated industry, and changes in applicable laws could have a material adverse effect on the Tribe's and our ability to conduct gaming, and thus on our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Gaming on the Tribe's reservation is regulated extensively by federal, state and tribal regulatory agencies, including the NIGC and agencies of the State of Connecticut, such as the Department of Revenue Services' Division of Special Revenue, Consumer Protection's Gaming Division, Division of Liquor Control and the State Police. As is the case with any casino, changes in applicable laws and regulations could limit or materially affect the types of gaming that may be conducted, or services provided, by us and the revenues realized therefrom.

Currently, the operation of gaming on Indian tribal lands is subject to IGRA. Legislation has been introduced in Congress from time to time with the intent of modifying a variety of perceived problems with IGRA. Some of the proposals that have been considered would be prospective in effect and contain clauses that would grandfather existing Indian tribal gaming operations such as Mohegan Sun. Legislation also has been proposed, however, from time to time which would have the effect of repealing many of the key provisions of IGRA and prohibiting the continued operation of particular classes of gaming on Indian tribal reservations in states where such gaming is not otherwise allowed on a commercial basis. While none of the substantive proposed amendments to IGRA have been enacted, we cannot predict the effects of future legislative acts. In the event that Congress passes prohibitory legislation that does not include any grandfathering exemption for existing Indian tribal gaming operations, and if such legislation is sustained in the courts against tribal challenge, our ability to meet our debt service obligations would be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, under federal law, gaming on Indian tribal lands is dependent on the permissibility under state law of specific forms of gaming or similar activities, and gaming at Mohegan Sun is dependent on the perpetual tribal-state compact between the Mohegan Tribe and State of Connecticut. Adverse decisions or legal actions with respect to gaming or the Mohegan Compact may have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our gaming operations.

A change in our current tax-exempt status, and that of our subsidiaries, could reduce our cash flows and have a material adverse effect on our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Based on current interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we, the Tribe and certain of our subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. However, we can provide no assurance that Congress or the Internal Revenue Service will not reverse or modify the exemption for Indian tribes from U.S. federal income taxation. A change in the

31

tax law could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Risks Related to Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs

The adoption of modifications to the Pennsylvania Gaming Act or other applicable laws in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the implementation of the new table gaming legislation could negatively impact our operations and expected profitability.

Changes in applicable laws or regulations, tax rates or the enforcement of applicable laws and regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania could limit or materially affect the types of gaming we may conduct and the services we may provide at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs or the profitability of such operations. Our ability to continue to operate Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs also could be adversely affected by such legal or regulatory changes.

The risks associated with our ability to successfully integrate table gaming, operate the expanded facility and manage its growth could have a material adverse effect on the future performance of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

In January 2010, the Pennsylvania Gaming Act was amended to allow slot machine operators in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to obtain a table game operation certificate and operate certain table games, including poker. Following the receipt of a table game operation certificate in July 2010, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs opened its table game and poker operations.

Table gaming remains relatively new to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful with table gaming at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs over the short or long term. The failure to successfully integrate and manage table gaming could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

If Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is not able to compete successfully with existing and potential competitors, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows for our operations or to fulfill our financial obligations.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces competition from several facilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as well as neighboring states. The closest competitors are Mount Airy and Sands Bethlehem, both of which are located in Northeastern Pennsylvania, approximately 40 miles and 70 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, respectively, and offer on-site hotel facilities not currently available at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Additionally, the state legislature has considered expanding the ability of bars, restaurants and other non-casino facilities throughout the state to offer expanded bingo, keno or other games of chance on a limited basis. The development of other gaming facilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania also may impact the competitive environment for Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

In addition to existing slot machine and table game operations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces competition from the VLT facility at the Monticello Raceway in Monticello, New York, approximately 90 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Additionally, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs faces competition from Tioga Downs Casino in Nichols, New York, approximately 100 miles from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs also faces potential competition from any gaming operation that is ultimately developed in the Catskills region including Mohegan Sun at Concord Downs, proposed for the Town of Thompson, New York. Expanded gaming in any or all of Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia may affect overall gaming in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the OTW facilities and other gaming facilities with which Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs competes for patrons.

We are uncertain of the impact these other facilities or the introduction or expansion of gaming elsewhere will have on our operations and ability to meet our financial obligations.

Our operation of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs subjects us to regulation and enforcement by various state agencies.

As owner and operator of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, we are subject to extensive state regulation by the PGCB, the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing Commission, or the PSHRC, and other state regulatory agencies, such as the Liquor Control Board. Applicable rules and regulations may require that we obtain and periodically renew a variety of licenses, registrations, permits and approvals to conduct our operations. Regulatory agencies may, for any reason set forth in the applicable legislation, rules and regulations, limit, condition, suspend, deny or revoke our license to conduct our operations as intended. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to continually renew all registrations, permits, approvals or licenses necessary to conduct our operations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as intended. Any of these events, or any changes in applicable laws or regulations or the enforcement thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in or the issuance of additional regulations by the PGCB may adversely affect our operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Under the Pennsylvania Gaming Act, the PGCB has extensive authority to regulate gaming activities. Casino gaming is

32

still a relatively new industry in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and many of the rules and regulations governing casino gaming are still evolving, particularly with respect to table gaming, which was authorized by legislation in January 2010. New or changing regulations could adversely affect our gaming operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Changes in or the issuance of additional regulations by the PSHRC may adversely affect our operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Under the Pennsylvania Race Horse Industry Reform Act, the PSHRC has extensive authority to regulate harness racing activities. While harness racing is a well-established industry in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, new or changing regulations could adversely affect our harness racing operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Our inability or failure to conduct harness racing operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in accordance with applicable regulations could adversely affect our ability to conduct gaming operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

Mohegan Sun is located on a 185-acre site on the Tribe’s reservation in Southeastern Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut. The land upon which Mohegan Sun is located is held in trust for the Tribe by the United States. Mohegan Sun has its own exit from Connecticut Route 2A, providing patrons with direct access to Interstates 395 and 95, the main highways connecting New York City, New York, Boston, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode Island. Mohegan Sun is approximately 125 miles from New York City, 100 miles from Boston and 50 miles from Providence.

The land upon which Mohegan Sun is located is leased from the Tribe. The term of the lease is 25 years with an option, exercisable by us, to extend the term for one additional 25-year period provided that we are not in default under the lease. Upon termination of the lease, we will be required to surrender to the Tribe possession of the property and improvements, excluding any equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property. The lease requires us to pay the Tribe a nominal annual rental fee and assume all costs and expenses of owning, operating, constructing, maintaining, repairing, replacing and insuring the property.

We also have entered into various lease agreements with the Tribe for properties that are utilized for parking and access to Mohegan Sun.

The Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug is located in Sprague and Franklin, Connecticut, approximately 15 miles from Mohegan Sun.

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is located on a 400-acre site in Plains Township, Pennsylvania. We also own OTW facilities located in Carbondale and Lehigh Valley (Allentown), Pennsylvania, and lease an OTW facility located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Salishan-Mohegan owns land located in Clark County, Washington for the purposes of developing a proposed casino to be owned by the Cowlitz Tribe. The land shall be transferred to the Cowlitz Tribe or the United States upon: (1) receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino; and (2) the underlying property being accepted to be taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are a defendant in various litigation matters resulting from our normal course of business. We believe that the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigations will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1. Business and Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Explanation of Key Financial Statement Captions

Gross Revenues

Our gross revenues are derived primarily from the following four sources:

• gaming revenues, which include revenues from slot machines, table games, poker, keno, live harness racing and racebook operations, including pari-mutuel wagering revenues from our racebook operations at Mohegan Sun and off-track wagering facilities in Pennsylvania;

• food and beverage revenues;

• hotel revenues; and

• retail, entertainment and other revenues, which primarily include revenues from our arena, gasoline and convenience centers, retail shops and basketball and golf operations.

The largest component of revenues is gaming revenues, which are recognized as amounts wagered less prizes paid out, and comprised primarily of revenues from slot machines and table games. Revenues from slot machines are the largest component of gaming revenues. Gross slot revenues, also referred to as gross slot win, represent all amounts wagered by patrons on slot machines reduced by: (1) free promotional slot plays redeemed; (2) winnings paid out; and (3) slot tickets issued. Pursuant to the

34

Mohegan Compact and requirements of our Category One slot machine license, we report gross slot revenues and other statistical information related to slot machine operations to the State of Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On a monthly basis, we also post such information on our website at www.mtga.com.

Other commonly used slot machine related terms include base jackpots, progressive slot machines, progressive jackpots, net slot revenues, slot handle, gross slot hold percentage, net slot hold percentage, rated players and slot win efficiency. Base jackpots represent the fixed minimum amount of payouts for a specific combination. We record base jackpots as reductions to revenues when we become obligated to pay such jackpots. Progressive slot machines retain a portion of each amount wagered and aggregate the retained amounts with similar amounts from other slot machines in order to create one-time payouts that are substantially larger than those paid in the ordinary course of play. We refer to such aggregated amounts as progressive jackpots. Wide-area progressive jackpot amounts are paid by third-party vendors and remitted as a weekly payment to each vendor based on a percentage of slot handle for each wide-area progressive slot machine. We accrue in-house progressive jackpot amounts until paid, and such accrued amounts are deducted from gross slot revenues, along with wide-area progressive jackpot amounts to arrive at net slot revenues, also referred to as net slot win. Net slot revenues are included in gaming revenues in our consolidated statements of income. Slot handle is the total amount wagered by patrons on slot machines, including free promotional slot plays. Gross slot hold percentage is gross slot revenues as a percentage of slot handle. Net slot hold percentage is net slot revenues as a percentage of slot handle. Rated players are patrons whose gaming activities are tracked under our Player’s Club program. Slot win efficiency is a measure of our percentage of gross slot revenues in a market area compared to the percentage of the slot machines we operate in that market area.

Commonly used table games related terms include table game revenues, table game drop and table game hold percentage. Table game revenues represent the closing table game inventory plus table game drop and credit slips for cash, chips or tokens returned to the casino cage, less opening table game inventory, discounts provided on patron losses, free bet coupons and chip fills to the tables. Table game drop is the total amount of cash, free bet coupons, cash advance drafts, customer deposit withdrawals, safekeeping withdrawals and credits issued at tables. Table game hold percentage is table game revenues as a percentage of table game drop.

Revenues from food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other services are recognized at the time such service is performed. Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Percentage rental revenues are recognized in the periods in which the tenants exceed their respective percentage rent thresholds.

Promotional Allowances

We operate a program, without membership fees, for patrons at Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and our managed property, Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, or Resorts Atlantic City. This program provides complimentary food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other services to patrons, as applicable, based on points that are awarded for patrons’ gaming activities. Points may be utilized to purchase, among other things, items at retail stores and restaurants located within Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and Resorts Atlantic City. Points also may be utilized at The Shops at Mohegan Sun and the Mohegan Sun gasoline and convenience center, as well as to purchase hotel services and tickets to entertainment events held at facilities located at Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and Resorts Atlantic City. The retail value of these complimentary items is included in gross revenues when redeemed at facilities operated by us and then deducted as promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The cost associated with reimbursing third parties for the value of complimentary items redeemed at third-party outlets is charged to gaming costs and expenses.

In addition, we offer ongoing promotional coupon programs to patrons for the purchase of food and beverage, hotel and retail amenities offered within Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, as applicable. The retail value of items or services purchased with coupons at facilities operated by us is included in gross revenues and the respective coupon value is deducted as promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The cost associated with reimbursing third parties for the value of coupons redeemed at third-party outlets is charged to gaming costs and expenses.

Gaming Costs and Expenses

Gaming costs and expenses primarily include portions of gaming revenues that must be paid to the State of Connecticut and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, or the PGCB. Gaming costs and expenses also include, among other things, payroll costs, expenses associated with the operation of slot machines, table games, poker, keno, live harness racing and racebook, certain marketing expenditures and promotional expenses related to Player’s Club point and coupon redemptions.

Income from Operations

Income from operations represents net revenues less total operating costs and expenses. Income from operations excludes accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability, interest income and expense, gain (loss) on early exchange and extinguishment

35

of debt, write-off of debt issuance costs, other non-operating income and expense and loss attributable to non-controlling interests.

Reassessment and Accretion of Discount to the Relinquishment Liability

In February 1998, we entered into a relinquishment agreement with Trading Cove Associates, or TCA. The relinquishment agreement provides, among other things, that we make certain payments to TCA out of, and determined as a percentage of, revenues, as defined under the relinquishment agreement, generated by Mohegan Sun over a 15-year period. We have recorded a relinquishment liability based on the estimated present value of our obligations under the relinquishment agreement. We reassess projected revenues and consequently the relinquishment liability: (1) annually in conjunction with our budgeting process, or (2) when necessary to account for material increases or decreases in projected revenues over the relinquishment period. In addition, we recognize a quarterly accretion to the relinquishment liability to reflect the impact of the time value of money. Since the calculation of this liability requires a high level of estimates and judgments (including those related to projected revenues and impact and timing of future competition), future events that affect such estimates and judgments may cause the actual liability to materially differ from the current estimate.

Results of Operations

Summary Operating Results

As of September 30, 2012, we own and operate, either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mohegan Sun, the Connecticut Sun franchise, and the Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug, or collectively, the Connecticut facilities, and the Pennsylvania facilities. All of our revenues are derived from these operations. The Connecticut Sun franchise and the Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug are aggregated with the Mohegan Sun operating segment because these operations all share similar economic characteristics, which is to generate gaming and entertainment revenues by attracting patrons to Mohegan Sun. Our executive officers review and assess the performance and operating results and determine the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut facilities and the Pennsylvania facilities on a separate basis. Accordingly, we have two separate reportable segments: (1) Mohegan Sun, which includes the operations of the Connecticut facilities, and (2) Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, which includes the operations of the Pennsylvania facilities.

The following table summarizes our results on a property basis (in thousands, except where noted):

The most significant factors and trends that we believe impacted our operating performance were as follows:

• additional gaming capacity in the Northeast gaming market;

• sluggish regional economic environment and the related impact on consumer spending;

• changes in operations designed to improve profitability;

• strong patron response to promotional offers at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs;

• improved non-gaming results;

• continued focus on managing expenses and enhancing operating efficiencies;

36

• cost saving initiatives implemented in September 2010 at Mohegan Sun; and

• the July 2010 addition of table game and poker operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Other factors that affected our financial performance were as follows:

• higher interest expense in fiscal 2012 driven by our refinancing transactions;

• a $14.3 million loss on early exchange of debt in fiscal 2012 related to refinancing transactions;

• severance charges related to workforce reductions of $12.5 million and $9.9 million in fiscal 2012 and 2010, respectively;

• non-cash relinquishment liability reassessment credits of $11.4 million, $8.8 million and $26.5 million in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively; and

• a $58.1 million impairment charge in fiscal 2010 related to the suspended elements of Project Horizon.

Net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily as a result of lower gaming revenues at Mohegan Sun. These results were partially offset by higher gaming revenues at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and increased non-gaming revenues at both Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year decreased primarily as a result of declines in slot and non-gaming revenues at Mohegan Sun. These results were partially offset by higher gaming and non-gaming revenues at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, as well as increased table game revenues at Mohegan Sun.

Income from operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year declined due to the reduction in net revenues, combined with $12.5 million in severance charges resulting from a workforce reduction initiative implemented in September 2012. Income from operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 also reflects changes in our operations designed to improve profitability and our continued focus on managing expenses, as well as lower depreciation expense.

Income from operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year increased primarily as a result of lower operating costs and expenses. The decline in operating costs and expenses reflects the impact of the non-recurring impairment charge related to the suspended elements of Project Horizon that was recorded in fiscal 2010. The decline in operating costs and expenses also reflects our focus on managing expenses and enhancing operating efficiencies. These results were partially offset by the decrease in the non-cash relinquishment liability reassessment credit, which was $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to $26.5 million in the prior fiscal year. The non-cash relinquishment liability reassessment credits had the effect of reducing operating expenses.

Net income attributable to the Authority for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to higher interest expense and the loss on early exchange of debt, combined with the reduction in income from operations.

Net income attributable to the Authority for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year increased primarily as a result of the growth in income from operations.

(1) Free promotional slot plays are included in slot handle, but not reflected in slot revenues.

(2) Table game hold percentage is relatively predictable over longer periods of time, but can significantly fluctuate over shorter periods.

Gaming revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily as a result of lower slot and table game revenues. The reductions in slot and table game revenues reflect additional gaming capacity in the Northeast gaming market and a sluggish regional economic environment, which impacted consumer spending. In addition, gaming revenues declined due to changes in our operations designed to improve profitability, including changes in the slot mix on our gaming floor, and a shift in hotel occupancy from casino patrons to transient guests.

Gaming revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to lower slot revenues, partially offset by higher table game revenues. The decline in slot revenues likely was attributable to the continued weakness in consumer spending, unfavorable weather conditions and changes in our operations designed to improve profitability. Slot revenues also were negatively impacted by additional gaming capacity in the Northeast gaming market. The growth in table game revenues was attributable to higher table game hold percentage, partially offset by lower table game drop. The decline in table game drop reflects changes in our operations designed to improve profitability which likely resulted in patrons in the State of New York choosing to visit expanded gaming facilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Food and beverage revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year were essentially flat.

Food and beverage revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to the reduction in the number of meals served at Mohegan Sun-owned food and beverage outlets. The reduction in the number of meals served reflects the permanent closure of Sunburst Buffet and the temporary closure of Season's Buffet, as well as the replacement of the Fidelia's Market food court outlets and certain other Mohegan Sun-owned food and beverage outlets with third-party operators. The reduction in the number of meals served was partially offset by the increase in the average price per meal served resulting, in part, from the July 2011 re-opening of the renovated Season's Buffet featuring expanded offerings.

Retail, entertainment and other revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year increased primarily as a result of additional gasoline revenues from the September 2011 opening of our employee gas station. These results were partially offset by lower entertainment revenues reflecting a reduction in the number of headliner shows at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

Retail, entertainment and other revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to lower entertainment revenues. The decrease in entertainment revenues resulted from the reduction in the number of Arena tickets due to fewer events at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The decline in retail, entertainment and other revenues also reflects lower retail revenues.

Gaming costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year decreased primarily as a result of lower slot win contribution expenses commensurate with the decline in slot revenues. The reduction in gaming costs and expenses also reflect changes in our operations designed to improve profitability, including lower costs related to Player's Club point redemptions at third-party outlets and Mohegan Sun-owned facilities and reduced payroll costs. These results were partially offset by higher casino marketing and promotional expenses in response to the competitive promotional environment. Expenses associated with the combined slot win and free promotional slot play contributions totaled $173.1 million and $183.8 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Gaming costs and expenses as a percentage of gaming revenues were 58.0% and 57.6% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Gaming costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to reductions in payroll costs and promotional and advertising expenditures, resulting, in part, from our continued focus on managing expenses and enhancing operating efficiencies, including cost saving initiatives implemented in September 2010, targeted marketing programs and changes in our operations designed to improve profitability. The decline in gaming costs and expenses also reflect lower costs related to Player's Club point redemptions at third-party outlets and Mohegan Sun-owned facilities and reduced slot win contribution expenses commensurate with the decline in slot revenues. Expenses associated with the combined slot win and free promotional slot play contributions totaled $183.8 million and $190.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gaming costs and expenses as a percentage of gaming revenues were 57.6% and 60.9% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Food and beverage costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year increased primarily due to reduced use of food and beverage complimentaries, resulting in lower amounts of food and beverage costs being allocated to gaming costs and expenses.

Food and beverage costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily as a result of lower payroll costs and cost of goods sold resulting from the consolidation and replacement of certain Mohegan Sun-owned food and beverage outlets with third-party operators in connection with our cost containment initiatives implemented in September 2010. These results were partially offset by decreased use of food and beverage complimentaries, resulting in lower amounts of food and beverage costs being allocated to gaming costs and expenses.

Advertising, general and administrative costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily as a result of reductions in insurance and utility costs, as well as expenses associated with services provided by the State of Connecticut.

Advertising, general and administrative costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year declined primarily due to lower payroll costs reflecting our cost containment initiatives implemented in September 2010 and reduced utility costs.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year were flat.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year decreased primarily due to fully depreciated assets related to Project Sunburst.

Severance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 resulted from the initial charges related to our September 2012 workforce reduction plan. We do not anticipate incurring any additional severance charges in connection with this workforce reduction, other than charges that may arise from adjustments to the initial estimates utilized under the plan. Cash payments commenced in October 2012 and are anticipated to be completed in September 2014.

Impairment of Project Horizon for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 resulted from the re-evaluation of our plans with respect to the development of the new hotel element of the project. Based on our modified plan, which encompasses a smaller hotel to be located closer to the existing hotel, we determined that certain assets related to excavation and foundation work for the planned podium and hotel tower, as well as professional fees for design and architectural work, did not have any future benefit, and accordingly, we recorded the related $58.1 million impairment charge.

Relinquishment liability reassessments for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 had the effect of reducing operating expenses. The relinquishment liability reassessment credits resulted from reductions in Mohegan Sun revenue projections as of the end of each respective fiscal year compared to projections as of the end of the related prior fiscal year. Our accounting policy is to reassess Mohegan Sun revenue projections, and consequently the relinquishment liability, at least annually in conjunction with our budgeting process or when necessary to account for material increases or decreases in Mohegan Sun revenue projections over the remaining relinquishment period, which expires on December 31, 2014.

Weighted average interest rate was 8.8% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to 7.1% in the prior fiscal year. The increase in weighted average interest rate was primarily driven by our March 6, 2012 refinancing transactions. Weighted average outstanding debt was $1.66 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.65 billion in the prior fiscal year.

Interest expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year increased due to higher weighted average interest rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flows consisted of the following (in thousands):

	For the Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
										Variance					Percentage Variance
	2012			2011			2010			12 vs. 11			11 vs. 10		12 vs. 11		11 vs. 10

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we held cash and cash equivalents of $114.1 million and $112.2 million, respectively. As a result of the cash-based nature of our business, operating cash flow levels tend to follow trends in our operating income, excluding the effects of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, accretion of discounts and relinquishment liability reassessments. The decline in cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year reflects a reduction in net income after adjustments for non-cash items, partially offset by lower working capital requirements. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year was attributable to increased net income after adjustments for non-cash items, partially offset by higher working capital requirements.

Operating activities are a significant source of our cash flows. We utilize cash flows from operations for scheduled interest payments, relinquishment payments, planned capital expenditures, distributions to the Tribe, projected working capital needs and debt reduction, as well as to make investments, from time to time. There are numerous potential factors which may cause a substantial reduction in the amount of such cash flows, including, but not limited to, the following:

• reduced discretionary spending by patrons on activities such as gaming, leisure and hospitality;

• increased competition, including the legalization or expansion of gaming in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or other states in the mid-Atlantic region, or the expansion of on-line gaming in the United States;

• unfavorable weather conditions;

• changes in applicable laws or policies regarding smoking or alcohol service at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs;

• an infrastructure or transportation disruption, such as the closure of a major highway near Mohegan Sun or Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, for an extended period of time; and

• an act of terrorism on the United States.

The increase in cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year primarily reflects cash held by Downs Lodging, LLC, or Downs Lodging, our wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary, which use is restricted to payments for construction expenditures in connection with Project Sunlight, a hotel and convention center expansion at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year primarily reflects a non-recurring table game certificate fee payment of $16.5 million to the PGCB in fiscal 2010.

The decrease in cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year resulted from increased borrowings primarily reflecting proceeds from a $45.0 million credit facility obtained by Downs Lodging to fund construction expenditures in connection with Project Sunlight. These results were partially offset by higher payments of financing fees and distributions to the Tribe. The decrease in cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to lower distributions to the Tribe.

Cost Saving Initiatives

In September 2012, we implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 330 positions in Uncasville, Connecticut, in an effort to further streamline our organization and better align operating costs with current market and business conditions. In addition, we implemented a number of other cost saving initiatives, including changes to the slot mix on the gaming floor, modifications to employee medical benefits and replacement of certain Mohegan Sun-owned food and beverage outlets with third-party operators. Labor and operating cost savings for fiscal 2013 are forecasted to be at least $20.0 million.

In September 2010, we implemented a 475 position reduction of our workforce in Uncasville, Connecticut, as well as a number of other cost saving initiatives, including modifications to employee medical benefits, consolidation of certain Mohegan

47

Sun-owned food and beverage outlets and replacement of certain other Mohegan Sun-owned food and beverage outlets with third-party operators. These cost saving initiatives yielded labor and operating cost savings totaling approximately $34.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

External Sources of Liquidity

On March 6, 2012, we completed a comprehensive refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness, including the consummation of private exchange offers and consent solicitations with respect to our outstanding notes, an amendment and restatement of our bank credit facility and the execution and funding of a term loan facility (all further discussed below).

Bank Credit Facilities

First Lien, First Out Credit Facility

On March 6, 2012, we entered into a fourth amended and restated bank credit facility providing for a $400.0 million term loan and a revolving loan with letter of credit and borrowing capacity of up to $75.0 million from a syndicate of financial institutions and commercial banks, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as administrative agent, or the bank credit facility. Principal outstanding on the term loan under the bank credit facility is to be repaid at a rate of $1.0 million per quarter. The bank credit facility matures on March 31, 2015, upon which date all outstanding balances are payable in full. As of September 30, 2012, there were $397.0 million in term loans and no revolving loans outstanding under the bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit issued under the bank credit facility totaled $2.3 million, of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the bank credit facility, and after taking into account restrictive financial covenant requirements, we had approximately $64.9 million of borrowing capacity under the bank credit facility as of September 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the bank credit facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate revolving loans, base rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 2.25% and 3.25%; (ii) for Eurodollar rate revolving loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 3.50% and 4.50%; (iii) for base rate term loans, base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25%; and (iv) for Eurodollar rate term loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.50%.

Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period for periods of three months or less and for loans of more than three months, each March, June, September or December that occurs after the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears.

Our obligations under the bank credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Pocono Downs subsidiaries, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW, WTG and MTGA Gaming, collectively, the guarantors.

The grantors also are required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the bank credit facility as they and future guarantor subsidiaries acquire them. The liens and security interests granted by the grantors as security for our obligations under the bank credit facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing the term loan facility (as defined below) and the 2009 second lien notes, 2012 second lien notes and 2012 third lien notes (each as defined below and, collectively, the secured notes). The collateral securing the bank credit facility constitutes substantially all of the grantors' property and assets that secure the term loan facility and the secured notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the bank credit facility.

First Lien, Second Out Term Loan Facility

On March 6, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement providing for a $225.0 million first lien, second out term loan with Wells Fargo Gaming Capital, LLC serving as Administrative Agent, or the term loan facility. The term loan facility was issued at a price of 98.0% of par, for an initial yield of approximately 9.6%per annum. The term loan facility has no mandatory amortization and is payable in full on March 31, 2016. The net proceeds from the term loan facility were used to refinance our existing indebtedness, permanently reduce commitments under the bank credit facility and pay accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection with our refinancing transactions consummated on March 6, 2012.

Loans under the term loan facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans, base rate plus 6.50% per annum and (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans, LIBOR plus 7.50% per annum. In all cases, LIBOR is subject to a 1.50% floor. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period or every quarter in arrears, if an interest period exceeds three months. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2012, we had a $225.0 million Eurodollar rate loan outstanding, which was based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.50% plus an applicable margin of 7.50%. As of September 30, 2012, accrued interest on the term loan facility was $1.2 million.

Our term loan facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the guarantors. The liens and security interests granted by the grantors as security for our obligations under the term loan facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing any of the secured notes. The collateral securing the term loan facility constitutes substantially all of the grantors' property and assets that secure the bank credit facility and the secured notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the term loan facility.

The term loan facility contains negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants that are substantially the same as those contained in the bank credit facility. The term loan facility also includes a separate first lien leverage ratio covenant.

As of September 30, 2012, we and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the term loan facility.

We continue to monitor revenues and expenditures to ensure continued compliance with our financial covenant requirements under both the bank credit facility and the term loan facility. While we anticipate that we will remain in compliance with all covenant requirements under our bank credit facilities for all periods prior to maturity, we may need to increase revenues or offset any future declines in revenues by implementing further cost containment and other initiatives in order to maintain compliance with these financial covenant requirements. If we are unable to satisfy our financial covenant requirements, we would need to obtain waivers or consents under the bank credit facilities; however, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to obtain such waivers or consents. If we are unable to obtain such waivers or consents, we would be in default under our bank credit facilities, which may result in cross-defaults under our other outstanding indebtedness and allow our lenders and creditors to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements, including their right to accelerate the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness. If such acceleration were to occur, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to obtain the financing necessary to repay such accelerated indebtedness.

Sufficiency of Resources

We believe that existing cash balances, financing arrangements and operating cash flows will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our existing debt obligations, relinquishment payments, foreseeable capital expenditure requirements and distributions to the Tribe for at least the next twelve months; however, we can provide no assurance in this regard. Please refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” for further details regarding risks relating to our sufficiency of resources. Any future investments in Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs are anticipated to be funded through a combination of existing cash balances, future operating cash flows and draws under our bank credit facility. The costs for Project Sunlight are being funded through a combination of a $45 million non-recourse term loan obtained by Downs Lodging and a $5 million investment by us. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the bank credit facility, and after taking into account restrictive financial covenant requirements, we had approximately $64.9 million of borrowing capacity under the bank credit facility and line of credit as of September 30, 2012. Distributions to the Tribe are anticipated to total approximately $50.0 million for fiscal 2013.

(1) Represents payment obligations from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013.

In addition to the above listed contractual obligations, we have certain other contractual commitments as of September 30, 2012. The calculation of estimated future payments related to these contractual commitments as presented in the following table is based, in large part, on revenue projections over an extended period of time, as well as other factors that are more fully described below. Given the high level of estimate and judgment utilized in the calculation of these liabilities, future events that affect such estimates and judgments may cause actual payments to materially differ from current estimates. The amounts presented in the following table are estimates, and, while certain agreements have perpetual terms, for the purposes of calculating these amounts, we have assumed that the table contains information for only ten years (in thousands):

	Payments due by period

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate such estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, reserves for doubtful accounts, the liabilities associated with unredeemed Player’s Club points, self-insurance and relinquishment, asset valuation, contingencies and litigation. These estimates are based on information currently available to us, as well as various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe the following accounting policies impact significant judgments and estimates utilized in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize gaming revenues as amounts wagered less prizes paid out. Revenues from food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other services are recognized at the time such service is performed. Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Percentage rental revenues are recognized in the periods in which the tenants exceed their respective percentage rent thresholds.

Reserves for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain a reserve for doubtful collection of casino, hotel and other non-gaming receivables based on our estimate

56

of the probability that these receivables will be collected. We assess the adequacy of this reserve by continuously evaluating historical experience, creditworthiness of the related patron and all other available information. Future business or economic trends could affect the collectability of these receivables and the related reserve.

We also maintain reserves for doubtful collection of reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe for the Cowlitz Project and WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project based on our estimate of the probability that the receivables will be collected. We assess the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables for adequacy on a quarterly basis. Future developments in the receipt of financing, the relevant land being taken into trust or other matters affecting the Cowlitz Project could affect the collectability of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables and the related reserve. The WTG receivables are fully reserved.

Unredeemed Player’s Club Points

We maintain an accrual for unredeemed Player’s Club points. This accrual is based on the estimated cost of Player's Club points expected to be redeemed as of the respective balance sheet date. We assess the adequacy of this accrual by periodically evaluating historical redemption experiences and projected trends related to the accrual. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Self-insurance Accruals

We are self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with workers’ compensation, general liability and employee medical coverage. Insurance claims and reserves include accruals of estimated settlements of known claims, as well as accruals of estimates of incurred but not reported claims. In estimating self-insurance accruals, we consider historical loss experiences and expected levels of costs per claim. Claims are accounted for based on estimates of undiscounted claims, including claims incurred but not reported. We believe that this method provides a consistent and effective way to measure these liabilities; however, changes in health care costs, accident frequency and severity and other factors could materially impact estimated liabilities. We continuously monitor estimates and makes adjustments when necessary.

Relinquishment Liability

We recorded a relinquishment liability based on the estimated present value of our obligations under a relinquishment agreement. We reassess projected revenues and consequently the relinquishment liability: (1) annually in conjunction with our budgeting process, or (2) when necessary to account for material increases or decreases in projected revenues over the relinquishment period. If the reassessment results in an overall increase in projected revenues over the relinquishment period, the relinquishment liability is increased by 5% of such increase in revenues, discounted at our risk-free rate of investment, which is an incremental layer. If the reassessment results in an overall decrease to projected revenues over the relinquishment period, the relinquishment liability is decreased by 5% of such decrease in revenues, discounted on the basis of a weighted-average discount rate, which is a decremental layer. The weighted-average discount rate is defined as the average discount rate utilized to discount all previous incremental layers weighted by the amount of each incremental layer. In addition, we recognize a quarterly accretion to the relinquishment liability to reflect the impact of the time value of money. Since the calculation of this liability requires a high level of estimates and judgments (including those related to projected revenues and impact and timing of future competition), future events that affect such estimates and judgments may cause the actual liability to materially differ from the current estimate.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, other than land, on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Estimated useful lives by asset categories are as follows:

Buildings and land improvements	40 years
Furniture and equipment	3 - 7 years

The costs of significant improvements are capitalized. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on current and future levels of income and cash flows, as well as other factors, an impairment loss will be recognized at such time.

57

Goodwill

The fair value is determined utilizing an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows from the Pennsylvania facilities, exclusive of capital expenditures requirements. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The income approach requires us to make assumptions regarding future revenues and expenses, discount rates and the terminal value based on a market multiple of the Pennsylvania facilities. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we assessed the goodwill for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the goodwill may be impaired and subject to a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from the Pennsylvania facilities are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; (3) if terminal growth rates decrease; or (4) if market multiples decrease.

Other Intangible Assets

The slot machine license and table game certificate intangible assets are assessed as a single unit of accounting at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of the recorded assets to their carrying value. Their fair value is determined utilizing an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows from the Pennsylvania facilities, exclusive of a required rate of return of all other assets and exclusive of capital expenditures requirements. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The income approach requires us to make assumptions regarding future revenues and expenses, discount rates, royalty rate and the terminal value based on a perpetual growth rate of the Pennsylvania facilities. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we assessed the intangible assets for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the intangible assets may be impaired and subject to a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from the Pennsylvania facilities are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; or (3) if the terminal value decreases.

The Mohegan Sun trademark is assessed at least annually for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. The fair value is determined utilizing the income approach – relief from royalty method based on projected revenues from Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The income approach requires us to make assumptions regarding future revenues, discount rates, royalty rate and the terminal value based on a perpetual growth rate of Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we assessed the Mohegan Sun trademark for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the Mohegan Sun trademark may be impaired and subject to a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; or (3) if the perpetual growth rate decreases.

Litigation

We are a defendant in various litigation matters resulting from our normal course of business. Some of these matters relate to personal injuries to patrons and damages to patrons’ personal assets. We estimate patrons' claims and accrue for such liabilities based upon historical experience.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued revised guidance pertaining to the accounting standard for indefinite-lived intangible assets. The revised guidance allows an entity the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing the two-step indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued revised guidance pertaining to the accounting standard for goodwill impairment tests. The revised guidance allows an entity the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.We adopted this guidance in our second quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance seeking to improve the comparability of fair value measurements

58

presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS. While consistent with existing fair value measurement principles under GAAP, the amended guidance expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and eliminates unnecessary differences between GAAP and IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this guidance in our second quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance pertaining to accruals for casino jackpot liabilities. The new guidance clarifies that an entity should not accrue jackpot liabilities (or portions thereof) before a jackpot is won if the entity can avoid paying such jackpot. The new guidance specifies that jackpots should be accrued and charged to revenue when the entity has the obligation to pay such jackpot and applies to both base and progressive jackpots and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new guidance was effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance in our first quarter of fiscal 2012, and as such, recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment, which decreased other current liabilities and increased retained earnings by $2.0 million.

Impact of Inflation

Absent changes in competitive and economic conditions or in specific prices affecting the hospitality and gaming industry, we do not expect that inflation will have a significant impact on our operations. Changes in specific prices, such as fuel and transportation prices, relative to the general rate of inflation may have a material adverse effect on the hospitality and gaming industry in general.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our bank credit facility and term loan facility, both of which accrue interest on the basis of a base rate formula or a Eurodollar rate formula, plus applicable rates, as defined under the respective facility. As of September 30, 2012, $397.0 million and $225.0 million were outstanding under the bank credit facility and term loan facility, respectively.

We attempt to manage our interest rate risk through a controlled combination of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings in accordance with established policies and procedures. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The following table presents information as of September 30, 2012 about our current financial instruments or debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal payments and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in respective yield curves, which should not be considered to be precise indicators of actual future interest rates. Fair values for our debt instruments are based on quoted market prices or prices of similar instruments as of September 30, 2012.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management; and

• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.”

Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to such attestation as we are a non-accelerated filer.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

We have established a separately-designated standing Audit Committee in accordance with applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee is comprised of certain members of the Management Board. All members of our Audit Committee are capable of reading and understanding financial statements, including balance sheets, statements of income, changes in capital and cash flows. The Management Board has determined that none of its members and, accordingly, no member of the Audit Committee, is a financial expert, meaning no member has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting or any other comparable experience or background, which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. However, the Audit Committee is advised on financial matters through a Financial Advisory Committee comprised of one or more financial experts independent from us.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, including our principal executive and financial officers. Our code of ethics is available on our website at “www.mtga.com” under “Corporate Governance.”

63

Should we make any significant amendment to the code of ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website and in a report on Form 8-K.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

We operate in an extremely competitive environment and believe that our current and future success is closely correlated with our ability to attract and retain highly talented employees and a strong management team. Accordingly, our executive compensation program is intended to meet three principal objectives: (1) attract, reward and retain senior management employees; (2) motivate these individuals to achieve our short-term and long-term business goals; and (3) promote internal compensation equity and external competitiveness.

Our philosophy relating to executive compensation is to attract and retain highly qualified individuals by offering competitive base salaries, cash-based incentive opportunities and other employee benefits. We face unique challenges in designing our executive compensation program because, as an instrumentality of the Tribe, we cannot offer equity-based compensation to our executives, unlike many of our industry peers. As a result, we strive to offer a cash-based compensation program that rewards our executives with competitive compensation while providing proper incentives to achieve our financial and operational goals at both the operating unit and company-wide levels. We also strive to ensure that our executive compensation program is straightforward, transparent and understandable.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Senior Management

Our nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Tribal Council, serves as our Compensation Committee and has final authority over the design, negotiation and implementation of our executive compensation program. As discussed below, Mr. Etess, along with other of our senior and executive level employees, have taken the leading roles in the design of our executive compensation program. In addition, acting within the boundaries of our annual budget, as approved by the Management Board, Mr. Etess and other of our senior and executive level employees determine the base salaries and cash-based incentive opportunities offered to our executives.

Elements of Compensation

Historically, compensation offered to our named executive officers, or NEOs, consisted of annual compensation, in the form of base salaries and employee benefits/perquisites, and cash-based incentive compensation, in the form of an annual cash bonus opportunity. We have traditionally also offered our NEOs the opportunity to defer all or a portion of their annual cash compensation under a deferred compensation plan, or DCP, and participate in The Mohegan Retirement and 401(k) Plan, both of which are sponsored by the Tribe.

In fiscal 2009, as a result of declines in business volumes and uncertainties in the financial markets, we undertook a series of initiatives to reduce expenditures. Among those initiatives was the implementation of a company-wide cost containment program, which included, among other things, employee salary rollbacks, suspension of all annual and merit-based compensation increases, suspension of employer-matching 401(k) contributions and funding of other contributions to the Mohegan Retirement and 401(k) Plan and suspension of annual cash bonuses. In July 2012, we recommenced annual compensation increases and employer-matching 401(k) contributions of 50% of the first 3% of an employee's contributions. The following presents additional information relating to the elements of compensation offered to our NEOs in fiscal 2012:

Annual Compensation

Annual compensation consists of base salaries and employee benefits. These elements are intended to provide some degree of compensation certainty to our NEOs by providing compensation that, unlike incentive compensation, is not “at-risk” based upon company performance.

Base Salary

We believe that a competitive base salary is an important component of compensation as it provides a degree of financial stability and is a critical factor in recruiting and retaining our NEOs. Base salary also is designed to recognize the scope of responsibilities placed under each NEO and to reward each NEO for their unique leadership skills, management experience and contributions to the company.

64

In determining base salary levels, we take into consideration economic and industry conditions and company performance. We do not assign relative weights to individual and company performance, but instead make a subjective determination after considering such measures collectively. Base salary also is evaluated relative to other components of our executive compensation program to ensure that each NEO's total compensation and mix of components are consistent with our overall compensation objectives and philosophies.

In fiscal 2009, we entered into an amended employment agreement with Mr. Etess providing for a base salary and employee benefits that, when combined, provide total compensation reflecting our need to compete for, and retain, management talent in a competitive environment. Recognizing the declines in our business volumes, the amended employment agreement reflects, among other things, the agreement by Mr. Etess to forgo his fiscal 2009 annual salary increase and a 10% reduction in salary. In fiscal 2009, we also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Soper, which provides Mr. Soper with competitive compensation. In fiscal 2011, Mr. Soper's employment agreement was extended to June 30, 2013. In fiscal 2011, we also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kontomerkos, which provides Mr. Kontomerkos with competitive compensation.

Employee Benefits

Our NEOs receive certain employee benefits. In fiscal 2012, these benefits included health insurance, dental and vision coverage, prescription drug plans, long-term disability care and flexible spending accounts. In addition, as of July 2012, our NEO's were provided the opportunity to receive annual compensation increases and employer-matching 401(k) contributions of 50% of the first 3% of their contributions under the Mohegan 401(k) plan. All of our NEOs receive payment of premiums for supplemental long-term disability policies.

Incentive Compensation

We have historically offered our NEOs cash-based incentive compensation in the form of an annual cash bonus opportunity. However, due to the implementation of our company-wide cost containment program, we suspended substantially all annual cash bonuses to employees and such suspension continued through fiscal 2012.

Compensation Committee Report

Our nine-member Management Board serves as our Compensation Committee. The Management Board met with us to review and discuss the preceding Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on such review and discussion, the Management Board approved this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and authorized its inclusion in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Management Board

The members of the Management Board, as of the date of this filing, are as follows: Bruce S. Bozsum, Ralph James Gessner, Jr., Cheryl A. Todd, Kathleen M. Regan-Pyne, Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr., Mark F. Brown, William Quidgeon, Jr., Jonathan S. Hamilton, Sr. and Mark M. Sperry.

In accordance with U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations, an election to defer compensation generally must be made prior to the year in which the services to which the compensation relates will be performed. Once made, an election to defer

67

compensation to be earned in the upcoming year is irrevocable. At time of deferral election, each NEO chooses the date on which payment of deferred compensation for the upcoming year is to commence, as well as whether to receive payments in a lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments. NEOs may change the form and timing of payments elected with respect to particular deferrals, subject to compliance with the terms of the DCP then in effect, including, any grandfathered terms resulting from changes in applicable U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations.

Potential Payments and Benefits upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table presents potential payments to our NEOs in the event of a termination of employment, based on the terms of their employment agreements, as described below. The amounts presented represent our estimate of potential payments to our NEOs upon their termination, assuming, in each case, that termination occurred on September 30, 2012, the last day of fiscal 2012. Actual payments can only be determined at the time of the NEO's separation from the company.

The agreement is subject to automatic renewal for an additional term of three years unless either party provides notice to the other on or before the 180^th day prior to the end of the agreement's stated term of an intention to terminate at the stated termination date. Under the employment agreement, we may terminate Mr. Kontomerkos's employment for cause, as defined above. In the event that we terminate Mr. Kontomerkos for cause, he is not entitled to any further compensation from and after the date of termination. In the event of termination other than for cause, Mr. Kontomerkos is entitled to receive severance payments in amounts of his annual base salary from the date of termination to the expiration of his employment agreement in the same amounts and at the same intervals as would have been paid had his employment continued.

Mr. Soper. Mr. Soper's amended employment agreement commenced effective January 1, 2009 and expires on June 30, 2013, and provides for an original annual base salary of $385,679, which annual base salary was increased pursuant to the terms of Mr. Soper's employment agreement by 13% as of January 1, 2010.

The Agreement, as amended, is subject to automatic renewal for an additional term of two years unless either party gives the other notice of its intent to terminate no later than 180 days prior to the end of the term. Under the agreement, we may terminate Mr. Soper's employment for cause, substantially as defined above. In the event that we terminate Mr. Soper for cause, he is not entitled to any further compensation from and after the date of termination. In the event of termination other than for cause, Mr. Soper is entitled to receive severance payments in amounts of his annual base salary from the date of termination to the expiration of his employment agreement, except in the event of a sale of the business. In such event, if Mr. Soper is not employed in substantially the same position at the same compensation by the purchaser of the business or by another casino operated directly or indirectly by us, Mr. Soper is entitled to receive severance payments in amounts of his annual base salary from the date of termination and for a period equal to the lesser of: (1) one year, or (2) through the expiration of his employment agreement (without regard to any renewal right after the date of termination). Mr. Soper's severance payments shall be payable in the same amounts and at the same intervals as would have been paid had his employment continued.

(1) Represents payment of premiums on life insurance policies of which the member is the owner.

(2) Term commenced October 3, 2011.

Members of the Management Board are paid annual salaries by the Tribe for their services as members of the Tribal Council. Due to the dual roles of these individuals in our governance and Tribe's, we are obligated to fund a portion of their compensation pursuant to an arrangement established at the time of Mohegan Sun's inception. In fiscal 2012, we were obligated to fund 60% of each member's annual compensation. This allocation was determined based on the amount of time members acted in their capacity as the Management Board as opposed to their capacity as the Tribal Council. We believe that members activities in fiscal 2013 will be consistent with fiscal 2012 activities and as such we expect to fund 60% of their fiscal 2013 compensation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As noted above, the Management Board serves as our Compensation Committee.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

We have no outstanding equity securities.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Procedure for Review of Related Party Transactions

Potential conflicts of interest, including related party transactions reportable under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, must be approved in advance. We have a code of ethics which applies to our Chief Executive Officer, or principal executive officer, Chief Financial Officer, or principal financial officer, and all other executive officers, whom we collectively refer to as our principal officers. Our code of ethics addresses, among other things, conflicts of interest and is available on our website at “www.mtga.com”. Under our code of ethics, principal officers with actual or potential conflicts of interest must disclose such conflicts to the Director of Regulation, his designee or the Chairman of our Management Board. Consistent with our practice, only our Management Board may waive provisions of our code of ethics.

Our Management Board reviews all transactions between us and principal officers. In addition, our corporate governance practices include procedures for discussing and assessing relationships among us and principal officers, including business, financial and family member, as applicable. Our Management Board also reviews transactions with principal officers, on a case-by-case basis, to determine whether any conflict of interest exists. In addition, our Management Board ensures that directors voting on such matters have no interest in the matter and discusses transactions with counsel as deemed necessary.

Transactions between the Authority and the Authority’s Subsidiaries and the Tribe

Distributions

In August 2001, we and the Tribe entered into an agreement, or the priority distribution agreement, which stipulates that we must make monthly payments to the Tribe to the extent of our net cash flow, as defined under the priority distribution agreement. The priority distribution agreement, which has a perpetual term, limits the maximum aggregate priority distribution payments in each calendar year to $14.0 million, as adjusted annually in accordance with a formula specified in the priority distribution agreement to reflect the effects of inflation. Payments under the priority distribution agreement: (1) do not reduce our obligations to reimburse the Tribe for governmental and administrative services provided by the Tribe or to make payments under any other agreements with the Tribe; (2) are limited obligations and are payable only to the extent of our net cash flow, as defined under the priority distribution agreement; and (3) are not secured by a lien or encumbrance on any of our assets or properties.

Distributions to the Tribe associated with the priority distribution agreement totaled $18.8 million, $18.3 million and $18.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additional distributions to the Tribe, in compliance with restrictive financial covenants under our bank credit facilities, line of credit and note indentures and exclusive of priority distributions, totaled $34.2 million, $28.8 million and $43.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Services

The Tribe provides certain governmental and administrative services in connection with the operation of Mohegan Sun. We incurred expenses for such services totaling $27.0 million, $27.2 million and $28.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We purchase most of our utilities, including electricity, gas, water and waste water services, from an instrumentality of the Tribe, the Mohegan Tribal Utility Authority. We incurred costs for such utilities totaling $18.7 million, $21.5 million and $24.4 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2009 Mohegan Tribe Promissory Note

In September 2009, the Tribe made a $10.0 million loan to Salishan-Mohegan, LLC, or the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note. The 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note was amended in March 2012 to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2014. As amended, the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10.0%. Accrued interest is payable quarterly in the amount of $1.2 million, commencing December 31, 2013 and continuing through June 31, 2014, with the balance

70

of accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. Principal outstanding under the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note amortizes as follows: (i) $1.625 million per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012 and continuing through September 30, 2013 and (ii) $875,000 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2013. We incurred interest expense associated with the 2009 Mohegan Tribe promissory note totaling $1.2 million, $1.5 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust Promissory Note

In March 2012, Comerica Bank & Trust, N.A., Trustee f/b/o The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut Minor's Trust, made a $20.0 million loan to Salishan-Mohegan, LLC, or the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note, the proceeds of which were used to repay, among other things, the Salishan-Mohegan bank credit facility. The 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note matures on March 31, 2016. The 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10.0%. Accrued interest is payable quarterly, commencing June 30, 2012. Principal outstanding under the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note amortizes as follows: (i) $500,000 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012 and continuing through September 30, 2014 and (ii) $1.5 million per quarter, commencing December 31, 2014 and continuing to maturity. We incurred interest expense associated with the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust promissory note totaling $1.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Mohegan Tribe Credit Facility

In 2011, the Tribe provided Salishan-Mohegan, LLC with a $1.75 million revolving credit facility, or the Mohegan Tribe credit facility. The Mohegan Tribe credit facility was amended in March 2012 to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2013 and reduce the borrowing capacity to $1.45 million. The Mohegan Tribe credit facility accrues interest at an annual rate of 15.0% payable at maturity. As amended, principal outstanding under the Mohegan Tribe credit facility amortizes at a rate of $362,500 per quarter, commencing December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Mohegan Tribe credit facility was fully drawn. We incurred interest expense associated with the Mohegan Tribe credit facility totaling $202,000 and $47,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Leases

We lease the land on which Mohegan Sun is located from the Tribe under a long-term lease agreement. The agreement requires us to make a nominal annual rental payment. This lease has an initial term of 25 years and is renewable for an additional 25-year term upon expiration. In addition, in July 2008, we entered into a land lease agreement with the Tribe, replacing a prior land lease agreement, relating to property located adjacent to the Tribe's reservation that is utilized by Mohegan Sun for employee parking. This agreement requires us to make monthly payments equaling $75,000 until maturity on June 30, 2018. We classified this lease as a capital lease for financial reporting purposes due to the existence of a bargain purchase option at the expiration of the lease. Additionally, we previously leased a building located adjacent to Mohegan Sun from the Tribe. In September 2010, the Tribe contributed this building to us. We recorded this asset contribution as a capital contribution at its book value of $5.5 million. We expensed $50,000 relating to the previous lease for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Mohegan Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance

In September 1995, the Tribe adopted the Mohegan Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance, as amended from time to time, or the TERO, which sets forth hiring and contracting preference requirements for employers and entities conducting business on Tribal lands on or adjacent to the Mohegan Reservation. Pursuant to the TERO, we and other covered employers are required to give hiring, promotion, training, retention and other employment-related preferences to Native Americans who meet the minimum qualifications for the applicable employment position. However, this preference requirement does not apply to key employees as such persons are defined under the TERO.

Similarly, any entity awarding a contract or subcontract valued up to $200,000 to be performed on Tribal lands must give preference, first, to certified Mohegan entities submitting commercially responsible bids, and second, to other certified Native American entities. This contracting preference is conditioned upon the bid by the preferred certified entity being within 5% of the lowest bid by a non-certified entity. Contracts in excess of $200,000 are awarded to the lowest commercially responsible bidder, on a competitive basis, with preference to certified Mohegan entities and then other certified Native American entities in the event of a matching bid. The TERO establishes procedures and requirements for certifying Mohegan entities and other Native American entities. Certification is based largely on the level of ownership and control exercised by the members of the Tribe or other Native American tribes, as the case may be, over the entity bidding on a contract.

As of September 30, 2012, we employed approximately 125 membersof the Tribe.

71

Corporate Governance and Management Board Independence

We are governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, or Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in our Management Board. Upon election, each Tribal Council and Management Board member serve a four-year term on a staggered basis. Incumbent members of the Tribal Council do not nominate or otherwise identify candidates for election. Accordingly, the Tribal Council and Management Board do not screen candidates for election nor do they maintain a nominating committee. Instead, the registered voters of the Tribe elect all members of the Tribal Council. In order to qualify for, and seek election to a position on the Tribal Council, an individual: (1) must be at least 21 years of age prior to the date of the election; (2) must be a registered voting member of the Tribe in good standing; (3) must not have been convicted of any violation of the Tribal Election Ordinance; and (4) must not have been convicted of either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral integrity, such as forgery or bribery.

As described above, members of the Management Board also are members of the Tribal Council and the Tribe. Due to the relationships between the Tribe and us, as described above, none of the Management Board members would qualify as “independent directors” within the rules of The New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Management Board of

the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority and its subsidiaries (the "Authority") at September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2), Schedule II-Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION:

The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe” or the “Tribe”) established the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) in July 1995 with the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Tribe on Tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Tribe is a federally-recognized Indian tribe with an approximately 544-acre reservation situated in Southeastern Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (“IGRA”), federally-recognized Indian tribes are permitted to conduct full-scale casino gaming operations on tribal lands, subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a compact with the affected state. The Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into a compact (the “Mohegan Compact”), which was approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior. The Authority is primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of gaming facilities. In October 1996, the Authority opened Mohegan Sun, a gaming and entertainment complex situated on a 185-acre site on the Tribe's reservation. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Mohegan Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in the Authority's Management Board.

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Authority and its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) pertaining to consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of Salishan-Mohegan are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Ventures-NW, and the accounts of MG&H, Mohegan Resorts and its subsidiaries are consolidated into the accounts of MTGA Gaming, as Mohegan Ventures-NW and MTGA Gaming are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries. In consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated.

Revisions

The Authority's operating results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 reflect adjustments to increase interest income by $1.1 million and reserves for doubtful collection of long-term receivables by $326,000 relating to unrecorded interest income and the related receivables and reserves in connection with reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe for the Cowlitz Project that were not recorded during fiscal 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Because amounts involved were not material to the Authority’s financial statements in any individual prior period, and the cumulative amount was not material to operating results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Authority recorded the cumulative effect of correcting these items during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Authority recorded an adjustment of $3.7 million to reduce cash and cash equivalents and slot revenues that were incorrectly recorded during fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Because amounts involved were not material to the Authority’s financial statements in any individual prior period, and the cumulative amount was not material to operating results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Authority recorded the cumulative effect of correcting these items during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Authority to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to reserves for doubtful accounts, asset valuation, the liabilities associated with self-insurance, unredeemed Player’s Club points and relinquishment, contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. Cash and cash equivalents include all operating cash and in-house funds.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits that are contractually restricted as to their withdrawal or use. Restricted cash primarily includes cash held by Downs Lodging which use is restricted to payments for construction expenditures in connection with Project Sunlight, including construction period interest and expenses.

Receivables

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of casino receivables, which represent credit extended to approved casino patrons, and hotel and other non-gaming receivables. The Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection, which is based on the Authority’s estimate of the probability that these receivables will be collected. The Authority assesses the adequacy of this reserve by continuously evaluating historical experience, creditworthiness of the related patron and all other available information. Future business or economic trends could affect the collectability of these receivables and the related reserve.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Long-Term Receivables

Long-term receivables consist primarily of receivables from affiliates and tenants.

Receivables from affiliates, which are included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consist primarily of reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe for the Cowlitz Project (refer to Note 12) and WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project (refer to Note 13). The Salishan-Mohegan receivables are payable upon: (1) the receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino, and (2) the related property being taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior. Due to the uncertainty in the development of the Cowlitz Project, the Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, which is based on the Authority's estimate of the probability that the receivables will be collected. The Authority assesses the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables for adequacy on a quarterly basis. Future developments in the receipt of financing, the relevant land being taken into trust or other matters affecting the Cowlitz Project could affect the collectability of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables and the related reserve. The WTG receivables are fully reserved. The WTG receivables are payable upon the receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino, subject to certain conditions.

Receivables from tenants, which are primarily included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consist primarily of funds loaned to various tenants at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Loan terms range up to eleven years, subject to renewals. The Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection of receivables from tenants, which is based on the Authority's estimate of the probability that these receivables will be collected considering historical experience, creditworthiness of the related tenant and all other available information.

The following table presents a reconciliation of long-term receivables and the related reserves for doubtful collection of these long-term receivables (in thousands):

	Long-Term Receivables

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and consist primarily of food and beverage, retail, hotel and operating supplies. Cost is determined using the average cost method. The Authority reduces the carrying value of slow-moving inventory to net realizable value, based on the Authority’s estimate of the amount of inventory that may not be utilized in future operations. Future business trends could affect the timely use of inventories.

F-10

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, other than land, on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Estimated useful lives by asset categories are as follows:

Buildings and land improvements	40 years
Furniture and equipment	3 - 7 years

The costs of significant improvements are capitalized. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on current and future levels of income and cash flows, as well as other factors, an impairment loss will be recognized at such time. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority assessed its property and equipment for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. In fiscal 2010, the Authority determined that certain assets related to the suspended elements of its Project Horizon expansion did not have any future benefit to the Authority. Accordingly, the Authority recognized a $58.1 million impairment charge, which was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 (refer to Note 4).

Capitalized Interest

Interest costs incurred in connection with major development and construction projects are capitalized and included in the cost of the related project. Under instances where no debt is directly incurred in connection with a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project utilizing the weighted-average interest cost of the Authority’s outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when a project is substantially completed or development activity is suspended for an extended period of time.

Goodwill

In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to goodwill, the goodwill associated with the acquisition of the Pennsylvania Facilities is not subject to amortization, but is assessed at least annually for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. The fair value is determined utilizing an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows from the Pennsylvania Facilities, exclusive of capital expenditures requirements. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The income approach requires the Authority to make assumptions regarding future revenues and expenses, discount rates and the terminal value based on a market multiple of the Pennsylvania Facilities. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority assessed the goodwill for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the goodwill may be impaired and subject to a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from the Pennsylvania Facilities are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; (3) if terminal growth rates decrease; or (4) if market multiples decrease.

Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets relate primarily to the Pennsylvania Facilities, Mohegan Sun, MBC and Mohegan Golf.

In connection with the acquisition of the Pennsylvania Facilities, the Authority recorded a slot machine license intangible asset of $214.0 million. In October 2006, a one-time slot machine license fee of $50.0 million was paid to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (the “PGCB”) and added to the existing slot machine license intangible asset. In June 2010, a one-time table game certificate fee of $16.5 million was paid to the PGCB and classified as an intangible asset. The slot machine license and table game certificate intangible assets, with indefinite useful lives, are assessed as a single unit of accounting at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of the recorded assets to their carrying value. Their fair value is determined utilizing an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows from the Pennsylvania Facilities, exclusive of a required rate of return of all other assets and exclusive of capital expenditures requirements. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The income approach requires the Authority to make assumptions regarding future revenues and expenses, discount rates and the terminal value based on a perpetual growth rate of the Pennsylvania Facilities. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority assessed the intangible assets for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the intangible assets may be impaired and subject to

F-11

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from the Pennsylvania Facilities are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; or (3) if the terminal value decreases.

In connection with a relinquishment agreement (refer to Note 11), Trading Cove Associates (“TCA”) granted the Authority an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, world-wide and royalty-free license with respect to trademarks and other similar rights, including the “Mohegan Sun” name. The Mohegan Sun trademark intangible asset of $119.7 million is no longer subject to amortization, as it is deemed to have an indefinite useful life, and is assessed at least annually for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. The fair value is determined utilizing the income approach – relief from royalty method based on projected revenues from Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The income approach requires the Authority to make assumptions regarding future revenues, discount rates, royalty rate and the terminal value based on a perpetual growth rate of Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority assessed the Mohegan Sun trademark for impairment and determined that no impairment existed. If any of the following occurs, the Mohegan Sun trademark may be impaired and subject to a non-cash write-down in a future period, which could have a material adverse impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements: (1) if estimates of projected cash flows from Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs are not met; (2) if the discount rate increases; or (3) if the perpetual growth rate decreases.

In connection with the acquisitions of the WNBA franchise and the assets of Pautipaug Country Club Inc., the Authority recorded a franchise value intangible asset and a membership intangible asset, respectively. These intangible assets, with definite useful lives, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Deferred Financing Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized amounts are included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Self-insurance Accruals

The Authority is self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with workers’ compensation, general liability and employee medical coverage. Insurance claims and reserves include accruals of estimated settlements of known claims, as well as accruals of estimates of incurred but not reported claims. These accruals are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In estimating self-insurance accruals, the Authority considers historical loss experiences and expected levels of costs per claim. Claims are accounted for based on estimates of undiscounted claims, including claims incurred but not reported. The Authority believes that this method provides a consistent and effective way to measure these liabilities; however, changes in health care costs, accident frequency and severity and other factors could materially impact estimated liabilities. The Authority continuously monitors estimates and makes adjustments when necessary.

Unredeemed Player’s Club Points

The Authority maintains an accrual for unredeemed Player’s Club points. This accrual is based on the estimated cost of Player's Club points expected to be redeemed as of the respective balance sheet date. The Authority assesses the adequacy of this accrual by periodically evaluating historical redemption experiences and projected trends related to the accrual. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Base Jackpots

Base jackpots represent the fixed minimum amount of payouts from slot machines for a specific combination. The Authority recognizes base jackpots as reductions to revenues when it becomes obligated to pay such jackpots.

Relinquishment Liability

In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to the accounting for contingencies, the Authority recorded a relinquishment liability based on the estimated present value of its obligations under a relinquishment agreement with TCA (refer to Note 11). The Authority reassesses projected revenues and consequently the relinquishment liability: (1) annually in conjunction with its budgeting process, or (2) when necessary to account for material increases or decreases in projected revenues over the relinquishment period. If the reassessment results in an overall increase in projected revenues over the relinquishment

F-12

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

period, the relinquishment liability is increased by 5% of such increase in revenues, discounted at the Authority’s risk-free rate of investment, which is an incremental layer. If the reassessment results in an overall decrease to projected revenues over the relinquishment period, the relinquishment liability is decreased by 5% of such decrease in revenues, discounted on the basis of a weighted-average discount rate, which is a decremental layer. The weighted-average discount rate is defined as the average discount rate utilized to discount all previous incremental layers weighted by the amount of each incremental layer. In addition, the Authority recognizes a quarterly accretion to the relinquishment liability to reflect the impact of the time value of money. Since the calculation of this liability requires a high level of estimates and judgments (including those related to projected revenues and impact and timing of future competition), future events that affect such estimates and judgments may cause the actual liability to materially differ from the current estimate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value amounts presented below are reported to satisfy disclosure requirements pursuant to authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to disclosures about fair values of financial instruments and are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Authority could realize in a current market transaction.

The Authority applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs utilized to measure fair value into three levels:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

• Level 3 - Valuations based on models where the significant inputs are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Authority's estimates or assumptions that market participants would utilize in pricing such assets or liabilities.

The Authority's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade payables and promissory notes approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of the Authority's financing facilities and notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012
	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Bank Credit Facility	$	397,000	$	390,549
Term Loan Facility	$	221,012	$	229,219
2009 11 1/2% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes	$	194	$	211
2012 11 1/2% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes	$	194,213	$	210,789
2012 10 1/2% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes	$	417,771	$	380,172
2005 6  1/8% Senior Unsecured Notes	$	15,775	$	15,302
2004 7 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes	$	21,156	$	17,136
2005 6  7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes	$	9,654	$	7,434
2012 11% Senior Subordinated Notes	$	344,190	$	240,933

The estimated fair values of the Authority's financing facilities and notes were based on Level 2 inputs (quoted market prices or prices of similar instruments) on or about September 30, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

The Authority recognizes gaming revenues as amounts wagered less prizes paid out. Revenues from food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other services are recognized at the time such service is performed. Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Percentage rental revenues are recognized in the periods in which the tenants exceed their respective percentage rent thresholds.

Promotional Allowances

The Authority operates a program, without membership fees, for patrons at Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and its managed property, Resorts Atlantic City. This program provides complimentary food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other services to patrons, as applicable, based on points that are awarded for patrons’ gaming activities. Points may be utilized to purchase, among other things, items at retail stores and restaurants located within Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and Resorts Atlantic City. Points also may be utilized at The Shops at Mohegan Sun and the Mohegan Sun gasoline and convenience center, as well as to purchase hotel services and tickets to entertainment events held at facilities located at Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and Resorts Atlantic City. The retail value of these complimentary items is included in gross revenues when redeemed at facilities operated by the Authority and then deducted as promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The cost associated with reimbursing third parties for the value of complimentary items redeemed at third-party outlets is charged to gaming costs and expenses.

In addition, the Authority offers ongoing promotional coupon programs to patrons for the purchase of food and beverage, hotel and retail amenities offered within Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, as applicable. The retail value of items or services purchased with coupons at facilities operated by the Authority is included in gross revenues and the respective coupon value is deducted as promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The cost associated with reimbursing third parties for the value of coupons redeemed at third-party outlets is charged to gaming costs and expenses.

The retail value of providing promotional allowances was included in revenues as follows (in thousands):

In certain circumstances, the Authority also offers discounts on patron losses and cash inducements at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, which are recognized as reductions to gaming revenues. Reductions to gaming revenues related to discounts provided on patron losses totaled $10.7 million, $9.7 million and $8.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Reductions to gaming revenues related to Player’s Club points redeemed for cash totaled $1.1 million, $933,000 and $1.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Gaming Costs and Expenses

Gaming costs and expenses primarily include portions of gaming revenues that must be paid to the State of Connecticut and the PGCB. Gaming costs and expenses also include, among other things, payroll costs, expenses associated with the operation of slot machines, table games, poker, keno, live harness racing and racebook, certain marketing expenditures and promotional expenses related to Player’s Club point and coupon redemptions.

Corporate Costs and Expenses

Corporate costs and expenses represent an allocation of certain governmental and administrative costs, payroll costs, professional fees and various other expenses not directly related to the Authority’s operations at Mohegan Sun or Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. In addition, Corporate costs and expenses include costs associated with various gaming diversification efforts, which are expensed as incurred, except when reimbursable by a third-party.

Severance Costs and Expenses

In September 2012, the Authority implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 330 positions in Uncasville, Connecticut, in an effort to further streamline its organization and better align operating costs with current market and business conditions. The costs associated with related post-employment severance benefits were expensed at the time the termination was communicated to the employees. In connection with this workforce reduction, the Authority incurred $12.5 million in severance charges, which were recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Cash payments commenced in October 2012 and are anticipated to be completed in September 2014. The Authority does not anticipate incurring any additional severance charges in connection with this workforce reduction, other than charges that may arise from adjustments to the initial estimates utilized under the plan. The following table presents a reconciliation of the related severance liability by business segment (in thousands):

not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing the two-step indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. The Authority adopted this guidance in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued revised guidance pertaining to the accounting standard for goodwill impairment tests. The revised guidance allows an entity the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.The Authority adopted this guidance in its second quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance seeking to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). While consistent with existing fair value measurement principles under GAAP, the amended guidance expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and eliminates unnecessary differences between GAAP and IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Authority adopted this guidance in its second quarter of fiscal 2012, and its adoption did not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance pertaining to accruals for casino jackpot liabilities. The new guidance clarifies that an entity should not accrue jackpot liabilities (or portions thereof) before a jackpot is won if the entity can avoid paying such jackpot. The new guidance specifies that jackpots should be accrued and charged to revenue when the entity has the obligation to pay such jackpot and applies to both base and progressive jackpots and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new guidance was effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Authority adopted this guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2012, and as such, recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment, which decreased other current liabilities and increased retained earnings by $2.0 million.

Depreciation expense totaled $84.5 million, $89.5 million and $96.7 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Capitalized interest totaled $34,000 and $66,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2010, respectively. The Authority did not record any capitalized interest for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

In September 2008, the Authority suspended certain elements of its Project Horizon expansion due to a slowdown in business volumes and uncertainties in the financial markets. Costs incurred on the suspended elements related to excavation and foundation work for a planned podium and new hotel tower, as well as professional fees for design and architectural work. During its fourth quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Authority re-evaluated its plans with respect to the development of the new hotel element of the project, and based on a modified plan, which encompassed a smaller hotel to be located closer to the existing hotel, determined that certain assets related to the suspended elements did not have any future benefit to the Authority. Accordingly, in fiscal 2010, the Authority recorded a related $58.1 million impairment charge. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, assets anticipated to be utilized under the modified plan, which may include a third-party developed and owned hotel, including related capitalized interest, totaled $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, and were included in construction in process. The Authority continues to evaluate its options with respect to the development of the new hotel; however, it can provide no assurance regarding if or when the modified plan will commence. Factors that the Authority will consider in determining the feasibility of the new hotel include the Authority’s financial performance, project cash flow projections, project costs, financing options, economic conditions, industry trends, demand and competition.

On March 6, 2012, the Authority completed a comprehensive refinancing of its outstanding indebtedness, including the consummation of private exchange offers and consent solicitations with respect to its outstanding notes, an amendment and restatement of its bank credit facility and the execution and funding of a term loan facility (all further discussed below). Consummation of the exchange offers resulted in the issuance of approximately $961.8 million in aggregate principal amount of new notes in exchange for an equivalent principal amount of tendered and accepted old notes. The Authority incurred approximately $57.6 million in costs in connection with these refinancing transactions, consisting primarily of consulting, legal and consent fees. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to debt refinancing, these refinancing transactions were each considered a debt modification and approximately $14.3 million in transaction costs were written-off and recorded as a loss on early exchange of debt in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. The remaining $43.3 million in transaction costs were capitalized and included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 and will be amortized over the terms of the related debt.

Bank Credit Facilities

First Lien, First Out Credit Facility

On March 6, 2012, the Authority entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Bank Credit Facility providing for a $400.0 million term loan and a revolving loan with letter of credit and borrowing capacity of up to $75.0 million from a syndicate of financial institutions and commercial banks, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as Administrative Agent (the "Bank Credit Facility"). Principal outstanding on the term loan under the Bank Credit Facility is to be repaid at a rate of $1.0 million per quarter. The Bank Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2015, upon which date all outstanding balances are payable in full. As of September 30, 2012, there were $397.0 million in term loans and no revolving loans outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit issued under the Bank Credit Facility totaled $2.3 million, of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the Bank Credit Facility, and after taking into account restrictive financial covenant requirements, the Authority had approximately $64.9 million of borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Facility as of September 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate revolving loans, base rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 2.25% and 3.25%; (ii) for Eurodollar rate revolving loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin based on a leverage-based pricing grid between 3.50% and 4.50%; (iii) for base rate term loans, base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25%; and (iv) for Eurodollar rate term loans, the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.50%. For Eurodollar rate term loans, LIBOR is subject to a 1.0% floor. There also is a fee of between 0.25% and 0.50%, based on a leverage-based pricing grid, charged on unused revolving commitments. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period for periods of three months or less and for loans of more than three months, each March, June, September or December that occurs after the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2012, the $397.0 million in term loans outstanding were based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.0% plus an applicable margin of 4.50%. The applicable margin for commitment fees was 0.50% as of September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, accrued interest, including commitment fees, on the Bank Credit Facility was $211,000 and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Authority's obligations under the Bank Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Pocono Downs Subsidiaries, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW, WTG and MTGA Gaming (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Bank Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Authority's property and assets and those of the Guarantors (other than MBC), including the assets that comprise Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and a leasehold mortgage on the land and improvements that comprise Mohegan Sun (the Authority and the Guarantors, other than MBC, are collectively referred to herein as the “Grantors”). The Grantors also are required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the Bank Credit Facility as they and future guarantor subsidiaries acquire them. The liens and security interests granted by the Grantors as security for the Authority's obligations under the Bank Credit Facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and the 2009 Second Lien Notes, 2012 Second Lien Notes and 2012 Third Lien Notes (each as defined below and, collectively, the “Secured Notes”). The collateral securing the Bank Credit Facility constitutes substantially all of the Grantors' property and assets that secure the Term Loan Facility and the Secured Notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the Bank Credit Facility.

The Bank Credit Facility contains negative covenants applicable to the Authority and the Guarantors, including negative covenants governing incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, investments, asset sales, affiliate transactions, mergers or consolidations and capital expenditures. Additionally, the Bank Credit Facility includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to total leverage, senior leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage.

As of September 30, 2012, the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the Bank Credit Facility.

First Lien, Second Out Term Loan Facility

On March 6, 2012, the Authority entered into a loan agreement providing for a $225.0 million first lien, second out term loan with Wells Fargo Gaming Capital, LLC serving as Administrative Agent (the "Term Loan Facility"). The Term Loan Facility was issued at a price of 98.0% of par, for an initial yield of approximately 9.6%per annum. The Term Loan Facility has no mandatory amortization and is payable in full on March 31, 2016. The net proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used to refinance the Authority's existing indebtedness, permanently reduce commitments under the Bank Credit Facility and pay accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection with the Authority's refinancing transactions consummated on March 6, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Loans under the Term Loan Facility incur interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans, base rate plus 6.50% per annum and (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans, LIBOR plus 7.50% per annum. In all cases, LIBOR is subject to a 1.50% floor. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period or every quarter in arrears, if an interest period exceeds three months. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2012, the Authority had a $225.0 million Eurodollar rate loan outstanding, which was based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.50% plus an applicable margin of 7.50%. As of September 30, 2012, accrued interest on the Term Loan Facility was $1.2 million.

The Term Loan Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors. The liens and security interests granted by the Grantors as security for the Authority's obligations under the Term Loan Facility are senior in priority to the liens on the same collateral securing any of the Secured Notes. The collateral securing the Term Loan Facility constitutes substantially all of the Grantors' property and assets that secure the Bank Credit Facility and the Secured Notes, but excludes certain excluded assets as defined in the Term Loan Facility.

The Term Loan Facility contains negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants that are substantially the same as those contained in the Bank Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility also includes a separate first lien leverage ratio covenant.

As of September 30, 2012, the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the Term Loan Facility.

The Authority continues to monitor revenues and expenditures to ensure continued compliance with its financial covenant requirements under both the Bank Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility. While the Authority anticipates that it will remain in compliance with all covenant requirements under its bank credit facilities for all periods prior to maturity, it may need to increase revenues or offset any future declines in revenues by implementing further cost containment and other initiatives in order to maintain compliance with these financial covenant requirements. If the Authority is unable to satisfy its financial covenant requirements, it would need to obtain waivers or consents under the bank credit facilities; however, the Authority can provide no assurance that it would be able to obtain such waivers or consents. If the Authority is unable to obtain such waivers or consents, it would be in default under its bank credit facilities, which may result in cross-defaults under its other outstanding indebtedness and allow its lenders and creditors to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements, including their right to accelerate the repayment of the Authority's outstanding indebtedness. If such acceleration were to occur, the Authority can provide no assurance that it would be able to obtain the financing necessary to repay such accelerated indebtedness.

The Authority incurred costs for such utilities totaling $18.7 million, $21.5 million and $24.4 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Authority incurred interest expense associated with the 2009 Mohegan Tribe Promissory Note totaling $1.2 million, $1.5 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

by Mohegan Sun for employee parking. This agreement requires the Authority to make monthly payments equaling $75,000 until maturity on June 30, 2018. The Authority classified this lease as a capital lease for financial reporting purposes due to the existence of a bargain purchase option at the expiration of the lease. Additionally, the Authority previously leased a building located adjacent to Mohegan Sun from the Tribe. In September 2010, the Tribe contributed this building to the Authority. The Authority recorded this asset contribution as a capital contribution at its book value of $5.5 million. The Authority expensed $50,000 relating to the previous lease for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

In September 1995, the Tribe adopted the Mohegan Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance, as amended from time to time (the “TERO”), which sets forth hiring and contracting preference requirements for employers and entities conducting business on Tribal lands on or adjacent to the Mohegan Reservation. Pursuant to the TERO, the Authority and other covered employers are required to give hiring, promotion, training, retention and other employment-related preferences to Native Americans who meet the minimum qualifications for the applicable employment position. However, this preference requirement does not apply to key employees as such persons are defined under the TERO.

Similarly, any entity awarding a contract or subcontract valued up to $200,000 to be performed on Tribal lands must give preference, first, to certified Mohegan entities submitting commercially responsible bids, and second, to other certified Native American entities. This contracting preference is conditioned upon the bid by the preferred certified entity being within 5% of the lowest bid by a non-certified entity. Contracts in excess of $200,000 are awarded to the lowest commercially responsible bidder, on a competitive basis, with preference to certified Mohegan entities and then other certified Native American entities in the event of a matching bid. The TERO establishes procedures and requirements for certifying Mohegan entities and other Native American entities. Certification is based largely on the level of ownership and control exercised by the members of the Tribe or other Native American tribes, as the case may be, over the entity bidding on a contract.

As of September 30, 2012, the Authority employed approximately125 membersof the Tribe.

NOTE 9—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

In general, employees become eligible for the Mohegan Retirement and 401(k) Plan after 90 days of service and become fully vested after six years of service. In February 2009, the Authority suspended both its discretionary matching 401(k) contributions and retirement contributions. In July 2012, the Authority resumed its discretionary matching 401(k) contributions. Discretionary retirement contributions remain suspended. The Authority contributed $612,000, net of forfeitures, to the Mohegan Retirement and 401(k) Plan for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

This license permits Downs Racing to install and operate up to 3,000 slot machines at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, expandable to up to a total of 5,000 slot machines upon request and approval of the PGCB.

The Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act stipulates that holders of Category One slot machine licenses must pay a portion of revenues from slot machines to the PGCB on a daily basis (“Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax”), which includes local share assessments to be paid to the cities and municipalities hosting Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and amounts to be paid to the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association, Inc. (the “PHHA”). The Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax is currently 55% of gross revenues from slot machines, 2% of which is subject to a $10.0 million minimum annual threshold to ensure that the host cities and municipalities receive an annual minimum of $10.0 million in local share assessments. Downs Racing maintains a $1.5 million escrow deposit in the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax payments, which was included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax totaling $134.2 million, $129.7 million and $128.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Pennsylvania Table Game Tax

In January 2010, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania amended the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act to allow slot machine operators in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to obtain a table game operation certificate and operate certain table games, including poker. On July 13, 2010, Downs Racing opened its table game and poker operations at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Under the amended law, holders of table game operation certificates must pay a portion of revenues from table games to the PGCB on a weekly basis (“Pennsylvania Table Game Tax”). During the initial two years of operation, the Pennsylvania Table Game Tax was 14%, plus 2% in local share assessments. Following the initial two years of operation, the Pennsylvania Table Game Tax was reduced to 12%, plus the 2% local share assessments. Downs Racing concluded its initial two years of table game and poker operations on July 13, 2012.

The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Table Game Tax totaling $6.8 million, $6.6 million and $1.3 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Loans

The PGCB was initially granted $36.1 million in loans to fund start-up costs for gaming in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which are to be repaid by slot machine licensees (the "Initial Loans"). The PGCB was subsequently granted an additional $63.8 million in loans to fund ongoing gaming oversight costs, which also are to be repaid by slot machine licensees (the "Subsequent Loans"). Repayment of the Initial Loans will commence when all 14 authorized gaming facilities are opened in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Currently, 11 of the 14 authorized gaming facilities have commenced operations. As of September 30, 2012, the Authority has concluded that a repayment contingency for the Initial Loans is probable but not reasonably estimable since the PGCB has not yet established a method of assessment of repayment for the Initial Loans and, as such, the Authority has not recorded a related accrual for such repayment. In June 2011, the PGCB adopted a method of assessment of repayment for the Subsequent Loans pursuant to which repayment commenced on January 1, 2012 and will continue over a 10-year period in accordance with a formula based on a combination of a single fiscal year and cumulative gross revenues from slot machines for each operating slot machine licensee.

The Authority reflected expenses associated with this repayment schedule totaling $659,000 and $846,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Priority Distribution Agreement, which has a perpetual term, limits the maximum aggregate priority distribution payments in each calendar year to $14.0 million, as adjusted annually in accordance with a formula specified in the Priority Distribution Agreement to reflect the effects of inflation. Payments under the Priority Distribution Agreement: (1) do not reduce the Authority's obligations to reimburse the Tribe for governmental and administrative services provided by the Tribe or to make payments under any other agreements with the Tribe; (2) are limited obligations of the Authority and are payable only to the extent of the Authority's Net Cash Flow, as defined under the Priority Distribution Agreement; and (3) are not secured by a lien or encumbrance on any of the Authority's assets or properties.

The Authority reflected payments associated with the Priority Distribution Agreement totaling $18.8 million, $18.3 million and $18.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In June 1994, the Tribe entered into an agreement with the Town of Montville (the “Town”) under which the Tribe agreed to pay the Town $500,000 annually to minimize the impact of Tribe’s reservation being held in trust on the Town. The Tribe has assigned its rights and obligations under this agreement to the Authority.

Land Lease Agreement

The land upon which Mohegan Sun is located is held in trust for the Tribe by the United States. The Authority entered into a land lease agreement with the Tribe to lease the property and improvements and related facilities constructed or installed on the property.

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Rent and Other Operating Costs and Expenses

The agreement requires the Authority to pay the Tribe a nominal annual rental fee. For any period that the Tribe or another agency or instrumentality of the Tribe is not the tenant, the rent will be 8% of such tenant’s gross revenues from the property. The Authority is responsible for all costs and expenses of owning, operating, constructing, maintaining, repairing, replacing and insuring the property.

Use of Property

The Authority may utilize the property and improvements solely for the operation of Mohegan Sun, unless prior approval is obtained from the Tribe for any proposed alternative use. The Authority may not construct or alter any building or improvement located on the property unless complete and final plans and specifications are approved by the Tribe. Following foreclosure of any mortgage on the Authority’s interest under the agreement or any transfer of such interest to the holder of such mortgage in lieu of foreclosure, the property and improvements may be utilized for any lawful purpose, subject to applicable codes and governmental regulations; provided, however, that a non-Indian holder of the property may under no circumstance conduct gaming operations on the property.

Permitted Mortgages and Rights of Permitted Mortgagees

The Authority may not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its leasehold estate in the property except to a holder of a permitted mortgage. Under the terms of the agreement, permitted mortgages include the leasehold mortgage securing the Authority’s senior secured indebtedness, provided that, among other things: (1) the Tribe will have the right to notice of, and to cure, any default of the Authority; (2) the Tribe will have the right to prior notice of an intention by the holder to foreclose on the permitted mortgage and the right to purchase the mortgage in lieu of any foreclosure; and (3) the permitted mortgage is subject and subordinated to any and all access and utility easements granted by the Tribe under the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, each holder of a permitted mortgage has the right to notice of any default of the Authority under the agreement and the opportunity to cure such default within the applicable cure period.

Default Remedies

The Authority will be in default under the agreement if, subject to the notice provisions, it fails to make lease payments or comply with covenants under the agreement or if it pledges, encumbers or conveys its interest in violation of the terms of the agreement. Following a default, the Tribe may, with approval from the Secretary of the Interior, terminate the agreement unless a permitted mortgage remains outstanding with respect to the property. In such case, the Tribe may not: (1) terminate the agreement or the Authority’s right to possession of the property; (2) exercise any right of re-entry; (3) take possession of and/or relet the property or any portion thereof; or (4) enforce any other right or remedy, which may materially and adversely affect the rights of the holder of the permitted mortgage, unless the default triggering such rights was a monetary default of which such holder failed to cure after notice.

Litigation

The Authority is a defendant in various litigation matters resulting from its normal course of business. In management's opinion, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigations will not have a material impact on the Authority's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11—RELINQUISHMENT AGREEMENT:

In February 1998, the Authority and TCA entered into a relinquishment agreement (the “Relinquishment Agreement”). Effective January 1, 2000 (the “Relinquishment Date”), the Relinquishment Agreement superseded a then-existing management agreement with TCA. The Relinquishment Agreement provides, among other things, that the Authority make certain payments to TCA out of, and determined as a percentage of, Revenues, as defined under the Relinquishment Agreement, generated by Mohegan Sun over a 15-year period commencing on the Relinquishment Date. The payments (“Senior Relinquishment Payments” and “Junior Relinquishment Payments”) have separate schedules and priorities. Senior Relinquishment Payments commenced on April 25, 2000, 25 days following the end of the first three-month period after the Relinquishment Date, and continue at the end of each three-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Junior Relinquishment Payments commenced on July 25, 2000, 25 days following the end of the first six-month period after the Relinquishment Date, and continue at the end of each six-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Each Senior and Junior Relinquishment Payment is 2.5% of Revenues generated by Mohegan Sun over the immediate preceding three-month or six-month payment period, as the case may be. Revenues are defined under the Relinquishment Agreement as gross gaming revenues, other than Class II Gaming revenues, and all other revenues, as defined, including, without limitation, hotel revenues, room service revenues, food and beverage revenues, ticket revenues, fees

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

or receipts from the convention/events center and all rental revenues or other receipts from lessees and concessionaires, but not the gross receipts of such lessees, licenses and concessionaires, derived directly or indirectly from the facilities, as defined. Revenues under the Relinquishment Agreement exclude revenues generated from certain expansion areas of Mohegan Sun, such as Casino of the Wind, as such areas do not constitute facilities as defined under the Relinquishment Agreement.

In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding relating to the Authority, the Relinquishment Agreement provides that Senior and Junior Relinquishment Payments then due and owing are subordinated in right of payment to the Authority's senior secured indebtedness and capital lease obligations, and that Junior Relinquishment Payments then due and owing are further subordinated in right of payment to all of the Authority's other senior indebtedness. The Relinquishment Agreement also provides that all relinquishment payments are subordinated in right of payment to minimum priority distribution payments, which are required monthly payments made by the Authority to the Tribe under the Priority Distribution Agreement, to the extent then due. The Authority, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to the accounting for contingencies, recorded a $549.1 million relinquishment liability at September 30, 1998 based on the estimated present value of its obligations under the Relinquishment Agreement.

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the carrying amount of the relinquishment liability was $120.8 million and $178.3 million, respectively. The decrease in the relinquishment liability during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was due to $54.3 million in relinquishment payments and a $11.4 million relinquishment liability reassessment credit. This reduction in the liability was offset by $8.2 million representing the accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability.

Relinquishment payments consisted of the following (in millions):

	For the Fiscal Years Ended
	September 30, 2012		September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Principal	$	45.3	$	42.6	$	39.9
Accretion of discount	9.0		12.4		16.7
Total	$	54.3	$	55.0	$	56.6

The accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability reflects the accretion of the discount to the present value of the relinquishment liability for the impact of the time value of money. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, relinquishment payments earned but unpaid were $13.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

The relinquishment liability reassessment credits of $11.4 million, $8.8 million and $26.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulted from reductions in Mohegan Sun revenue projections as of the end of each respective fiscal year compared to projections as of the end of the related prior fiscal year.

NOTE 12—MOHEGAN VENTURES-NORTHWEST, LLC (COWLITZ PROJECT):

In July 2004, the Authority formed Mohegan Ventures-NW as its wholly-owned subsidiary. Mohegan Ventures-NW is one of three current members in Salishan-Mohegan, which was formed to participate in the Cowlitz Project, a proposed casino to be owned by the Cowlitz Tribe and to be located in Clark County, Washington. Mohegan Ventures-NW, Salishan Company, LLC, an unrelated entity, and the Tribe hold membership interests in Salishan-Mohegan of 49.15%, 43% and 7.85%, respectively. Salishan-Mohegan is not a restricted entity of the Authority, and therefore, is not a guarantor of the Authority’s debt obligations. Refer to Note 16 for condensed consolidating financial information of the Authority, its guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor entities.

In September 2004, Salishan-Mohegan entered into development and management agreements with the Cowlitz Tribe in connection with the Cowlitz Project, which agreements have been amended from time to time. Under the terms of the development agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will assist in securing financing, as well as administer and oversee the planning, designing, development, construction and furnishing of the proposed casino. The development agreement provides for development fees of 3% of total Project Costs, as defined under the development agreement, which are to be distributed to Mohegan Ventures-NW, pursuant to the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement. In 2006, Salishan-Mohegan purchased a 152-acre site for the proposed casino, which will be transferred to the Cowlitz Tribe or the United States pursuant to the development agreement. Development of the Cowlitz Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, negotiation of a gaming compact with the State of Washington and acceptance of land into trust on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe by the United States Department of the Interior. The development agreement provides for termination of Salishan-Mohegan’s exclusive development rights if the land is not taken into trust by December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the management agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will manage, operate and maintain the proposed casino for a period of seven years following its opening. The management

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

agreement provides for management fees of 24% of Net Revenues, as defined under the management agreement, which approximates net income earned from the Cowlitz Project. Under the terms of the Salishan-Mohegan operating agreement, management fees will be allocated to the members of Salishan-Mohegan based on their respective membership interest. The management agreement is subject to approval by the National Indian Gaming Commission (the “NIGC”).

Under the terms of the development agreement, certain receivables contributed to Salishan-Mohegan and amounts advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe are reimbursable to Salishan-Mohegan by the Cowlitz Tribe, subject to appropriate approvals defined under the development agreement. Reimbursements are contingent and are to be distributed upon: (1) the receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino, and (2) the related property being taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior. The Authority currently accrues interest on the Salishan-Mohegan receivables at a rate of Bank of America’s announced Prime Rate plus 2.0%, compounded monthly.

In December 2010, the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior made a final agency determination to acquire the 152-acre Cowlitz Project site into trust for the benefit of the Cowlitz Tribe pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act. The Assistant Secretary also determined that the acquired lands will serve as the initial reservation of the Cowlitz Tribe and that the tribe may conduct gaming on such lands under IGRA. Transfer of the property to the United States remains subject to final action by the Department of the Interior, including resolution of two lawsuits challenging the federal government's actions. In January 2011, Clark County, Washington, the City of Vancouver, Washington, and certain other plaintiffs filed suit against the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (the “BIA”), the NIGC and various government officials, and in February 2011, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde of Oregon filed suit against the Department of the Interior, the BIA and their officials. Both lawsuits are currently pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Pursuant to the Department of the Interior practice, the United States is not expected to take the Cowlitz Project site into trust while these lawsuits are pending. Class III gaming on the property remains subject to the negotiation and federal approval of a gaming compact between the Cowlitz Tribe and the State of Washington, which is a party to gaming compacts with twenty eight other federally-recognized Indian tribes in that state. The Authority can provide no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that it will be able to obtain the necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino.

In light of the aforementioned and the uncertainty in the development of the Cowlitz Project, the Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, which is based on the Authority’s estimate of the probability that the receivables will be collected. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, including accrued interest, totaled $40.0 million and $34.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, related reserves for doubtful collection totaled $12.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively. During fiscal 2012, the Authority recorded adjustments to increase the Salishan-Mohegan receivables by $1.1 million and reserves for doubtful collection by $326,000 relating to unrecorded interest and the related receivables and reserves that were not recorded during fiscal 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Salishan-Mohegan receivables were included in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 13—MOHEGAN VENTURES WISCONSIN, LLC (MENOMINEE PROJECT):

In March 2007, the Authority formed MVW as its wholly-owned subsidiary and one of two original members in WTG, which was formed to participate in the Menominee Project, a proposed casino to be owned by the Menominee Tribe and to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. MVW now holds 100% membership interest in WTG. MVW and WTG are full and unconditional guarantors of the Authority’s outstanding indebtedness. Refer to Note 16 for condensed consolidating financial information of the Authority, its guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor entities.

In connection with the Menominee Project, the Authority entered into a management agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the Menominee Kenosha Gaming Authority (the “MKGA”), and WTG purchased the development rights for the Menominee Project under a development agreement with the Menominee Tribe and the MKGA. In September 2010, WTG entered into a release and reimbursement agreement pursuant to which WTG: (1) relinquished its development rights and was relieved of its development obligations for the Menominee Project; (2) retained its rights to reimbursement of certain receivables related to reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project, subject to certain conditions; and (3) assigned the option to purchase the proposed Menominee Project site in Kenosha to MKGA. The Authority retained its interest in the management agreement. Due to the uncertainty in the development of the Menominee Project, as of September 30, 2008, the Authority had fully reserved for these receivables and had written-off the related development rights intangible asset. In February 2012, the MKGA terminated its efforts to seek NIGC approval of the management agreement. As of September 30, 2012, the WTG receivables remain fully reserved.

NOTE 14—INVESTMENT IN WNBA FRANCHISE:

In January 2003, the Authority formed MBC as its wholly-owned subsidiary to own and operate a professional basketball team in the WNBA. In January 2003, the Authority and MBC entered into a Membership Agreement with WNBA, LLC which sets forth the terms and conditions under which MBC acquired its membership in the WNBA and the right to own and operate a team. The Authority guaranteed the obligations of MBC under the Membership Agreement. MBC is a full and unconditional guarantor of the Authority’s outstanding indebtedness. Refer to Note 16 for condensed consolidating financial information of the Authority, its guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor entities.

In connection with MBC’s acquisition of its membership in the WNBA and the right to own and operate a team, the Authority estimated the fair value of the initial player roster to be $4.8 million and the remaining $5.5 million of MBC’s aggregate investment was recognized as a franchise value. The player roster value was amortized over seven years and became fully amortized in fiscal 2010. Amortization expense associated with the player roster value totaled $54,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

The franchise value is being amortized over thirty years and is assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, accumulated amortization on the franchise value was $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with the franchise value totaled $183,000 for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The Authority expects to incur amortization expenses related to the franchise value of $183,000 for each of the next five fiscal years. The franchise value was included in intangible assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

MBC currently owns approximately 4.2% of the membership interest in WNBA, LLC which is accounted for under the Cost Method. Under the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of WNBA, LLC, if at any time, WNBA, LLC’s Board of Governors determines that additional funds are needed for WNBA, LLC’s or any league entity’s general business, the Board of Governors may require additional cash capital contributions. In such event, each member shall be obligated to contribute to WNBA, LLC an amount of cash equal to that member’s proportionate share of ownership. No such cash capital contribution has been required by WNBA, LLC through September 30, 2012.

NOTE 15—SEGMENT REPORTING:

As of September 30, 2012, the Authority owns and operates, either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mohegan Sun, the Connecticut Sun franchise, and the Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug (collectively, the “Connecticut Facilities”), and the Pennsylvania Facilities. All of the Authority's revenues are derived from these operations. The Connecticut Sun franchise and the Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug are aggregated with the Mohegan Sun operating segment because these operations all share similar economic characteristics, which is to generate gaming and entertainment revenues by attracting patrons to Mohegan Sun. The Authority's executive officers review and assess the performance and operating results and determine the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut Facilities and the Pennsylvania Facilities on a separate basis. Accordingly, the Authority has two separate reportable segments: (1) Mohegan Sun, which includes the operations of the Connecticut Facilities, and (2) Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, which includes the operations of the Pennsylvania Facilities. The Authority's operations related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates and certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments, therefore, these operations are included in corporate and other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.
