Satellite debris worth $1 million at Seminole Coconut Creek


As if a casino doesn't carry enough hope: The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek general manager is offering patrons $1 million if debris from the recently obliterated U.S. spy satellite falls on his property.

"They hit it with one shot, so we'll give our patrons one shot," General Manager Steve Bonner said Thursday afternoon.

Bonner says that if any portion of the exploded satellite lands on his turf, he'll have a $1 million drawing. Experts say the debris may take a few days to fall, so the offer ends March 10 (not coincidentally, the date Class III slots debut at the casino, 5550 NW 40th St.). The casino decides whether any debris found is other-wordly, and not planted by patrons with a get-rich-quick scheme in mind.

To push the stunt one step further, Bonner said he is having workers paint a bull's-eye on the casino, likely on Friday.

About the author
Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
