The casino noted the popularity of Dragon Link machines, citing 10 jackpots of $1 million or more hit in 2024.
“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!”
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel now offers 802 guestrooms, with many available for booking. The newly renovated West Tower features 240 smoke-free rooms, including Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, and the lavish Gold Suite. Each floor showcases new artwork made from vinyl records, celebrating iconic musical artists. The renovations maintain the hotel’s AAA Diamond rating.
