After years of legal action to get the proper motions approved, Hard Rock Casinos across Florida can finally offer one of their target services to all sports bettors. Casinos will now prepare to introduce a fresh array of table games and more.

Yet, the Hard Rock Casinos will also embrace the commencement of in-person sports betting this week. This move comes as a resolution that was reached between the Seminoles and Governor Ron DeSantis.

Bettors at Hard Rock Casino destinations in South Florida can now engage in different table dynamics. These include craps and roulette. Bettors will also get the chance to opt for in-person sports wagering at the casino premises.

Hard Rock Casino envisions the creation of 1,000 new jobs statewide as it ambitiously expands its gaming operations. This strategic initiative is geared towards imparting a style that fits the Las Vegas model and may appeal to Florida’s tourism.

Hard Rock Bet, the online sports betting app supported by the gaming giant, made its debut in the state in November. This allowed the provider to make an early entry into the state’s sports betting scene.

According to state bettors, Florida felt like an isolated island where bettors did not have the chance to engage in the buzz of sports betting before it was approved. This forced many local Floridians to seek neighboring states.

With the advent of online sports betting, perspectives have been turned around. Now, bettors get the chance to opt for the online and on-site wagering experience.

Over the first five years and with the introduction of enhanced gaming opportunities, the Seminoles have pledged a substantial amount of funds to keep contributing to the state of Florida.

To experts, this contribution could amount to over $2.5 billion, which the state can benefit from with the prospect of additional billions in the following years.

West Flagler Associates and Bonita-Ft. Myers Corp, in opposition to the Seminoles’ gaming expansion, are two organizations that have argued that the exclusivity agreement between the state and Seminoles dismisses the concerns of Florida voters.

This corporate perspective claims that these types of local deals can potentially lead to financial repercussions for both companies and other providers who wish to enter the Florida gaming scene. No other resolution has yet been suggested.
