Seminole Tribe & Celebs launch gaming revolution: Craps, Roulette, Sports Betting at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinos

Saturday, December 9, 2023

The inauguration of craps, roulette, and sports betting at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, and Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood marks the dawn of a “New Era” in Florida Gaming, as proclaimed by leaders of the Seminole Tribe of Florida alongside prominent celebrities.

Celebrities such as Jon Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars, Tiësto, Heather Graham, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Diplo, Cedric Gervais, Mike Tyson, Dwyane Wade, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Sarah Hyland, Willy Chirino, Max Weinberg, Bobbi Althoff, and SI Swimsuit Cover Model Brooks Nader graced the red carpet at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. Many of them participated in the inaugural moments of craps, roulette, and retail sports betting.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is hosting a series of mega-events to celebrate the introduction of these new games, including a one-time pop-up dining experience featuring the renowned Carbone restaurant by chef Mario Carbone, paying homage to New York’s great Italian-American culinary traditions.

Seminole Tribe of Florida Chairman Marcellus Osceola Jr., other members of the Seminole Tribal Council, and Seminole Gaming CEO and Hard Rock International Chairman Jim Allen led a commemorative ceremony at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. Similar ceremonies took place at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood.

The advent of these new games is attributed to the Gaming Compact signed and approved by the Seminole Tribe and the State of Florida in 2021. Craps, roulette, and sports betting now join blackjack, baccarat, and other casino card games, along with thousands of the latest slot machines, forming a comprehensive array of casino offerings across all six Seminole Casinos in Florida.

Chairman Osceola expressed pride in the Seminole Tribe of Florida, noting, “With the addition of craps, roulette, and sports betting, we now offer a full complement of casino games and join the ranks of leading casinos around the world.” Seminole Gaming CEO Jim Allen highlighted the positive economic impact on entertainment, travel, tourism industries, and beyond, anticipating increased tourism to Florida and boosted employment in the areas surrounding Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood and other Seminole Gaming-operated casinos throughout the state.
