Florida voters, vote yes on Amendment 3. It will break the stronghold that the Seminoles have on Florida gambling. It will bring in needed competition and hopefully make their casinos competitive. Yes on 3.
Worst place to gamble ever and I know first hand..

I want to share this with anyone that even thinks that they want to go over and gamble at the Hard Rock in Tampa, Don't go the place sucks they will strip you of your cash in less time than it take to drive there, Your money has no playability there unless you get real lucky from the start then good luck leaving with anything because the next machine will do the reverse even faster, I play mostly high limit slots and almost always lose my butt, I also play to the point I am and have been a Wild X-Card Exclusive player for longer than I care to remember, If you are lucky and get a spin on a slot like the $100 Wheel of Fortune you will almost always get a $2500 bonus but that is after you put in $5000+ so guess where that $2500 goes trying to get back what you are still behind, If you play $200 Top Dollar same thing happens you put in $7000+ then get a $2000 Top Dollar bonus if you even get one, Then go to a game like the $300 sevens and see how that works out for you, Trust me when I tell you that the Penney machines are even worse especially if you play max bet like I do you will see everyone around you that is playing minimum bet or close hitting bonus after bonus but not winning anything so the put it back in and you will get nothing and if you do it will most likely be less than your bet and lets just say max bet on some of the multi denomination machines will make you cringe because they are as much or more than most of the high limit games hence the reason I mostly play high limit slots exclusively, Now as far as prices for food go yes it's crazy and the drink prices are completely nuts but I will say they are comps to me like the Plum Lounge so I can't count them but I still pay for them 1000 fold with my losses, The two things that make me the most upset about the place other than the payout percentage-but I can fix that myself if stop going, ! 1) The fact that a few years ago you can no longer use your earned comp dollars in the food court because they want you to only use one of there restaurants and not pay the people in the food court for food that you get as they are rented not casino owned, 2) The other is the fact that they take comp dollars away that you earned if you don't use them up, Example I used to be able to accumulate 1,000,000+ points and then buy things that I actually wanted from a catalogue not now I have to use up my points in the casino owned stores and pay triple for things that I don't really want or need, Think about the last two statements and like I said I'm a X-Card holder and still get no respect I'm only a number that is only as good as the number I loose...! Most everyone I used to know with X-Cards no longer go to the place or can't because they lost everything, Hmm I think it's about time for me to do the first before I end up like the last, No I did not use my real name for this review it's not Zappa
First visit back since they kicked me out of comp benefits. They are redoing the casino, they took out most of the popular slots and left mostly the slots that you would find in a backwoods casino in Oklahoma. They've boxed out about 1/4 of the casino to do remodeling, I asked several employees what's going on and to a one they said they have no idea what changes are being made. Rest assured they will building new area's to take money from you. $8.00 hot dogs and $15.00 mixed drinks are the norm. The cheapest room is $265.00 dollars during the week. Slots still as tight as ever. I fully expect on my next visit the minute I put my players card in the slot that I will be escorted out of the casino.
I phoned these crooks to find out why my give aways were stopped. They told me I don't play long enough. I've been there the last 4 weeks. The last 2 times I went up $200 in the first 30 minutes so I got my ass out of there. They're telling me I have to play longer to be included in give aways. I said to the guy, so I should sit there and lose a couple of hundred dollars just to get a cheap umbrella and he told me it's a complicated formula that they use and there's nothing they can do. What a bunch of douches.
The Florida Indian casinos are playing Indian Games with the people of Florida. They think that most of their customers are from out of state vacationing and will never return, so they take it upon themselves to steal your money. With Florida being a tourist and vacationing state we need legit public traded companies that are not engaging in illegal activity or attempting to deceive the honest people of this state. The casinos in Florida need to be regulated by the state and not their own commission. Lets send a message to the Indian nation of Florida that we will not be fleeced by them and that our tourist and vacationers should be treat as welcomed guest and not railroaded by a group of greedy Indians!!
