Seminole Tribe of Florida to Debut Craps, Roulette and Sports Betting

The Seminole Tribe of Florida is ready to debut craps, roulette and sports betting at casinos across the Sunshine State, based on the historic Gaming Compact.




The Seminole Tribe and Seminole Hard Rock plan to celebrate “A New Era in Florida Gaming” with star-studded celebrations in early December for the launch of craps, roulette and sports betting at all six Seminole Casinos.

Craps, roulette and sports betting will launch to the public on Thursday, December 7th at all three Seminole Casinos in South Florida: Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood and Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

On Friday, December 8th, the new games will launch at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.

On Monday, December 11th, craps, roulette and sports betting will launch at Seminole Casino Immokalee, near Naples, and Seminole Brighton Casino, on the northwest side of Lake Okeechobee.

“The Seminole Tribe thanks the State of Florida, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Justice for defending our Compact. By working together, the Tribe, the State and the federal government achieved a historic legal victory,” said Marcellus Osceola Jr., Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

The Gaming Compact was signed and approved by the Tribe and the State of Florida in 2021. On October 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an attempt to block implementation of the Compact.

“The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s new initiative will create jobs, increase tourism, and provide billions in added revenue for our state,” said Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. “I was proud to work with the Tribe on our historic Gaming Compact and I look forward to its full implementation.”

“With the expansion of the new scope, we are creating over 1,000 new jobs made possible by the Compact,” said Jim Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming and Chairman of Hard Rock International. “This is a historic milestone that immediately puts Florida in the same league with the world’s great gaming destinations.”

Seminole Gaming manages six Florida casino complexes for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, including Seminole Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos in Tampa and Hollywood, Florida.
