The Seminole Tribe of Florida has made waves in the gambling industry by announcing the expansion of gaming options across all of its Florida locations. The tribe's bold move, which includes the introduction of craps, roulette, and sports betting, is set to roll out next month, promising a new era of excitement for casino-goers in the Sunshine State.
In a recent news release, the Seminole Tribe unveiled its ambitious plan to introduce these expanded gaming options starting on December 7. Initially, the new games will be available at South Florida locations, specifically at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood, and Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The excitement is set to reach a fever pitch on Thursday, December 7, as eager patrons will have the opportunity to try their luck with craps, roulette, and sports betting at their brick-and-mortar casinos.
The expansion doesn't stop there. On Friday, December 8, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa will join the fray, offering these exhilarating gaming options to patrons. Then, on Monday, December 11, the Seminole Casino Immokalee, located near Naples, and the Seminole Brighton Casino, situated on the northwest side of Lake Okeechobee, will also welcome these exciting additions.

Florida's Gaming Transformation
This momentous development in Florida's gaming landscape comes shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an emergency bid on October 25, which sought to block a multibillion-dollar agreement between the state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe. This historic agreement allows for the provision of online sports betting services throughout the state, setting the stage for a significant transformation in Florida's gambling industry.
According to CNN, the agreement, often referred to as the "compact," received strong support from Governor Ron DeSantis and received approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is projected to generate a staggering $2.5 billion in new revenue over the next five years, with an estimated $6 billion expected by 2030. These substantial financial gains are poised to create a positive ripple effect on Florida's economy.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida's new initiative will create jobs, increase tourism, and provide billions in added revenue for our state. I was proud to work with the Tribe on our historic Gaming Compact, and I look forward to its full implementation.
Jim Allen, the CEO of Seminole Gaming and Chairman of Hard Rock International, also weighed in on the expansion, highlighting the significant employment opportunities it brings. "With the expansion of the new scope, we are creating over 1,000 new jobs made possible by the Compact," he stated. "This is a historic milestone that immediately puts Florida in the same league with the world's great gaming destinations."
As the calendar approaches December, anticipation is building among gaming enthusiasts as they eagerly await the arrival of craps, roulette, and sports betting at Seminole gaming sites. The Seminole Tribe's bold move promises to reshape the gaming landscape in Florida, offering patrons a diverse range of gaming options and significantly contributing to the state's economic growth.
