Seminole Tribe unveils $120M casino expansion

Friday, September 28, 2007  

The Seminole Tribe of Florida unveiled a $120 million expansion of its Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.

The tribe opened the casino three years ago but it wasn't big enough to keep up with the large crowds. Now it has 3,075 gaming machines and 3.3 acres of gaming floor space, making it the largest casino in the state.

"It's not about having just enough. It's about having plenty," the casino president told The Miami Herald.

The tribe is currently negotiating a Class III compact with Gov. Charlie Crist (R). The deal will include slot machines and possibly other Class III games.
