Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa unveiled over $65 million in resort enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience.
The exciting upgrades rolled out last month, with Fresh Harvest Buffet reopening and the new gaming area unveiling, and newly renovated smoke-free hotel rooms available for booking now.
“We are extremely excited about taking our world-class resort to yet another level,” said Steve Bonner, President, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. “We’re always attentive to what our guests want and need. They asked and we delivered.”
Guests can now experience a revamped gaming area in the space formerly occupied by the food court. This exciting new gaming floor features nearly 350 state-of-the-art slot machines with a dynamic mix of popular themes and the latest gaming innovations.
Machines are multi-denomination, allowing guests to tailor their gaming experience. Whether you enjoy classic favorites or the latest releases, the new gaming area provides endless excitement in a fun, modern atmosphere.
The new gaming area offers machines with denominations ranging from 1 cent to $5, with max bets up to $100.
Some of the popular games that will be available in the new area include Aristocrat’s Phoenix Link, Lightning Dollar Link and Dragon Link; Light & Wonder’s Huff N’ Even More Puff Hard Hat Edition, Huff ‘N Puff Money Mansion, Journey To Planet Moolah, Coin Trio Royal and Big Hot Flaming Pots; IGT’s Money Mania; and Sega Sammy’s Railroad Riches. Dragon Link slot machines have been especially lucky, with 10 jackpots of $1 million or more hit in 2024 alone.
“After introducing live craps, roulette, and sports betting just over a year ago, we believe the new slots area just adds to the fully integrated casino experience for our guests,” said Bonner. “Last month, we celebrated $2 billion in jackpots for 2024, so clearly this is the luckiest place to be!”
