Seminole Billie Swamp Safari & Museum (Mid way betwen Ft Laud & Naples on Interstate 75 E ( from Naplles). Also entrance in Clewiston (Its a big reservation). THIS SITE WILL GIVE INFO on all the casino operations in Fl run by the Seminole Tribe, except those in the Miami area. (Read the Seminole history to find out why)

Note on the Seminole Tribe site. They run a lot from Tampa across to SE Fl. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel Casino is not worth the trip across if you want to gamble. The slots are bingo based (class 3) and pay back (according to the Sun Sentinel) approx 55%.
Smelly as the ones in all their other casinos, (smoking allowed). If you drive across to gamble, try the Gulfstream Park, Hollywood Park Mardi Gras, Pompano Park or Dania Fontron...all with mandated 85% payback (but posted at 90%, no smoking and class A machines. BUT the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel on the Hollywood Reservation is beautiful....pools have sandy beach access...waterfalls, huts c plasma & bars.....very friendly staff.....but to play the casino THERE.....stay on the west side...unless you like real AC/Vegas type games at the Paramutual centers mentioned above (Dania not ready as of this posting) Gulfstream (Hallandale) has over 1500 slots so far, but thero-bred racing is (IMO ) a lot more interesting $2.00 on each race can last 5 hours for only a $20.00 loss (I don't pick so good).... Its 90 miles across I 75 ....120 miles (one way) from FFL to S Ft Meyers....and I 75 has a toll.
