The head of the Mohegan Sun casino is stepping down to focus on developing business strategies in his other job as CEO of the operator of casinos in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

Mitchell Etess said Tuesday that the arrangement, which will start Jan. 1, will

allow him to pursue new opportunities such as seeking management agreements with other companies controlled by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority.

He also said he wants to focus on health care and its costs for the 9,000 employees in Connecticut and 1,500 workers at the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Mohegan Sun.

Jeffrey Hartmann, chief operating officer at the Indian-run Mohegan Sun and the authority's chief operating officer, will succeed Etess as Mohegan Sun's chief executive.
