results with you all about my Slot Experiment. I came to the HardRock ""Tampa"" everyday for 30 consectutive days in a row. Each day i brought $500 to gamble with. I played Penny machines,,nickel machines,,quarter machines,,dollar machines. I played in every part of the casino floor from the lucky street garage to where the escalators are on the Orient rd side. I played video poker,,video slots from 100 lines down to 3 & 1 line slot machines. Played Bombay,,Stinken rich,,Diamond Lotto,,Troys of Treasure,,Planet Moohlah,,Coyotote Moons,,Crystal Forrest,,ect. You get the picture. I played at different hours from late night early morning to solid pack afternoons. My results is that You cant enjoy yourself or playtime. Im not going to say You cant win cause we all know that the house wins in the end and majority of the time. There are times when u can win and there are many times that you can enjoy yourself playing at the casino but NOT THIS CASINO..I also broke down my results such as how long did i play and what did i play. Well 86% of the time i was broke before even one hour had lapsed. In other words i spent $500 in 20-40 minutes 86% of the time. 13% of the time i got to play for about an hour to two hours then i would be broke and the 1% is when i actually won several hundred dollars on a machine. Now that 1% win wasnt over $500 just a couple of hundred on one slot machine. Folks i spent $15k in 30 days and the results are Terrible. My final answer or my conclusion is that U CANT WIN HERE OR ENJOY PLAYING HERE Unless u have several thousand dollars to burn thru without any concern. Google is correct when they say this casino is the Worst payouts in the nation. They claim their payouts are the same as other casinos in the indusrty and they are correct or half correct. They leave out the important factor that most casinos have 500-1,000 slots. So the casinos that have 500 to a thousand slots are paying out the same amount that hardrock who has 5,000 slots and who is busy 95% of the time...Do the math folks. It doesnt take a genius to figure it out. Basically to round it off most casinos or i will say 94% of the casinos in the United states payback 85%-92% but most state laws require minium 85% payback...The Seminole hardrock pays back 12%-18%. No matter how you slice it,,it falls into that low percentage. Last year All of Las Vegas strip meaning all the casinos combined took in 6 billion and the hardrock with two casinos brought it just half of what alllll of las vegas took in..That right there should tell u something..That these Indians or the Seminole Casinos do not pay at all...Its a slap in the face to the everyday gambler and its really sad to see just a select few take a world wide known name company the HardRock and turn it into a place of greed which leaves sour tastes in patrons mouths. So its safe and accurate to say the Seminole Hardrock is the worst payout casino in the world. Dont waste your time hear unless its for dining or listening to some concerts or venues,but to gamble??? Your chances of getting ice water in hell is far better than having a good time gambling at these non regulated Indian casinos. Thankyou for letting me share my experience...

As the Seminole Tribe moves in on a annual profit of Two ($2) Billion Dollars, a Bond Review Offering by a Wall Street analyst confirms much of what the average gambler already knew about the Hard Rock Tampa. The Hard Rock Tampa makes more for the Tribe then all the other five casinos located throughout Florida combined. The Bond Offering report calls the Hard Rock Tampa one of the most lucrative casinos in the world ! For them... The report goes on to confirm that the Tampa casino makes between 20-25 percent on table (banked games) and 70-75 per cent from slot revenue. To be this profitable, the slots must be so tight as to be unplayable for the gambler. The worst news is that the analyst sees nothing now or in the future to threaten the Tribe's monopoly in Tampa. Whether South Florida gets more banked games, more slots, etc., the report says that the Tribe will stop at nothing to protect its Monopoly profits. A future Governor Crist does nothing but help them and the likelihood of online gambling being legalized in Florida is remote at best. In short, locals must quit the slots in Tampa and out of state visitors who visit the Tampa Hard Rock will simply lose, lose, lose. Tampa is their cash cow and anyone who enters its door is simply a sucker - it's that simple. Go anywhere else to gamble but understand that the slots at the Hard Rock Tampa are among the tighest in the world. I am placing the Tampa Hard Rock on the "Wall of Shame" along with Harrah's Cherokee Casino in North Carolina as the worst places to gamble in world.

For the customer who is reading this, just know its the Truth.The Seminole hardrock of Tampa used to be a great place to go have fun and to gamble. That stopped several years ago and ever since then it has gotten worse and worse and worse. they have a contract with the state of Florida meaning no one else can open any table games or other casinos to come here cause the Seminoles own the rights and by that contract they do not have to answer to anybody.There is no gaming commission to regulate these crooks and they could do whatever the hell they please and they do it. Trip advisor is now known for posting fake reviews and being paid to post reviews and to hurt other businesses and to make any business look good and hard rock has them in their back pocket. 90% of the reviews of the Hard Rock Casino are false or fake. most of the reviews are nothing but advertising analyze to get people like you to believe it so you could go in there and basically be taken for a fool. They are the most profitable casino in the entire world, Tampa alone profited 2 billion dollars last year but thats what they are claiming cause im sure they made alot more cause they do not audit anything. Most slot machines have a audit system that shows how much money goes in and how much goes out or how many jackpots are paid and its recorded but these little displays are well hidden I know where they are and I have taken the numbers down and gone back and guess what the numbers are still the same so basically they have it turned off they don't do no audit at all you cannot tell what they are making. They are crooks. most state laws have to have slot machines to pay out 85% on a dollar that's the lowest the Tampa Hard Rock Casino I would say and I'm not joking or lying or exaggerating that their payout is between 12 to 18 percent on a dollar I'm serious. here's a perfect example and it's true I was playing midnight treasures and I play max bet which is $8.00 a spin. I got the bonus round 10 free spins at $8 a spin and it paid me a whopping $9.00 dollars. there is a lot more I want to say and I will but right now I don't have the time I will write another review and the people of hard rock you know who you are I have no respect for you people anymore ,,really you guys can screw off I hate liars and thieves I cannot stand them and you people are both!!!!!

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 moved to Tampa in 2010. Ive gone to the Hard Rock casino once, twice a month on average, skipping a month here or there.I have visited 60 to 80 times approximate in the last 3 years. I started regularly bringing $100 for blackjack and $100 for the slots and that was my limit. In 2010-2011 it seemed like I always braking even(never won more than $200).. 2012 Sucked I kept trying to chase my losses by gambling more money! Jan & Feb 2013 were my eye opener! I quit! Not only Have I not won in over 6 months, neither on the blackjack tables or slot machines. but the FACT is that all the reviews on here are true! Fact is not only have I never won. I have never seen anyone win at the hard rock casino in tampa! a $10 dollar food coupon for their $30 buffet meal is not worth anything.

the Tuesday car give away. the Wednesday vacation prize give away. scams.look up the rules and really analyze what are the chance or what it is you have to do to actually win one those things! yeah you have a greater chance of winning the powerball 3 times in your lifetime then winning a car at the hard rock casino!

Over all, In the last 12 months i have easy lost $5,000. Hitting a $500 jackpot after losing $5000 IS NOT WINING. It is my fault and my fault only I am responsible for my actions. I have gave away/donated/lost/wasted so much money at the hard rock. But knowing what I know now I quit Chasing lost money.
