I must be insane because I keep going back here and expecting different results...I've been going here for more than 2 years now and have spent close to $10,000...Never once have I gotten anything close to winning a jackpot...The most I've ever won here was $500.00...and only after putting $800.00 in the machine...Not only have I never won, I've never once seen a jackpot being paid out...the few people they do have working there are only making change...The only reason I kept going back is because they keep sending me coupons for food and free play...and I thought I would eventually have a chance to win because that is what I am use to by going to the casinos in Connecticut...boy was I wrong...in my opinion, this place is a total rip-off....they lure you in with the coupons and the promotions but once u are there your chances of winning is very low....as for the promotions they have on Tues and Wed, they are based on how much you spend....the more you spend the better your chance of winning...so enough said about that..
.my only hope by writing this is that it might save someone especially the elderly from spending all their life savings in the hope of winning here...trust me, the odds that might happen are next to none...they are using all the money to pay for all the expansions done and for all the new employees they have hired…what a shame…so I give up…I will not spend another dime here…

I went there on Martin Luther King day. I didn't see anyone hit a slot jackpot all day. Slot machines were filthy, Bathrooms were filthy, No where to get coffee unless you were in a restaurant, Horrible food in the Hard Rock Cafe. I had a chicken cesar salad with old brown edge lettuce and chicken so old and dry I thought it was croutons. Avoid this place. It doesn't deserve your hard earned money.

I agree. The casino is a major rip off and a complete waste of time and money. I quit going there and now I have a lot more money. I live in Orlando and there is plenty to do here without wasting my money in Tampa. The Seminoles are a greedy bunch of people and won't get my business anymore.

The Greedy Indians have bought the Florida State Governement and have made sure they will have NO COMPETITION. They are unregulated and are not required to post payout percentages......The Seminole Tribe are ripping people off with the Governor's blessing..........

I have never been to the Tampa Hard Rock, but I live near the one in Hollywood, Florida. I go there and play video poker all of the time. The machines are fine and, actually, the pay tables are better than at any of the pari-mutuels here in south Florida. Just because you lose, doesn't mean that the casino is ripping you off. If you are playing penny machines, the casino has about a 15% edge against you and it is very difficult to come out as a winner with that much of an edge edge over you.
