Seminole Tribe backs $750M in financing with casino revenue

Tuesday, April 30, 2013  

The Seminole Tribe of Florida has secured a $750 million loan with its gaming revenues.

The tribe will use the proceeds from the loan to pay off an existing loan and other costs, according to a press release.

The tribe operates six gaming facilities with nearly 13,000 slot machines and approximately 340 table games, Fitch Ratings said in assigning a BBB- rating to the loan.

Fitch said the tribe remains in a "solid competitive position" even as lawmakers consider an expansion of non-Indian gaming in the state.
