The Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, has been a destination for gamblers since it was built. Today the casino received a boost with the addition of Vegas style slots.
People lined up early to get the first glimpse of the new Vegas style slot machines that have been added at the Hard Rock. Many of the patrons could not wait to get their chance at winning money in the new machines.
"This is the first step in getting full gambling in Broward and I am excited about the prospects of not having to go to Las Vegas to enjoy a fully functional casino," said longtime Broward resident John Bulcher. Bulcher had already won $100 in one of the machines when he spoke with representatives of CGW early this afternoon.
The new slots are part of a compact that the Seminoles signed with Governor Charlie Crist. In addition to the slot machines, the Seminoles also received the rights to allow Blackjack and Baccarat in their Florida casinos.
Today's change of machines could end up being temporary. Several state politicians are challenging the compact in the Florida court system.
The Seminoles have already made a payment to the state for $50 million. 800 machines have been added at the Hard Rock. |
