The Seminole Tribe of Florida
opened a small gaming facility on the Big Cypress Reservation on Thursday.
The new facility at the Billie Swamp Safari features just 36 slot machines. But the tribe will break ground later this year on a larger casino aimed at combining Seminole culture with entertainment.
“We think we could give them a gaming experience combined with an authentic Seminole meal, storytelling and nature walks, for example," Seminole Gaming CEO James Allen told The South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
