Seminole Casino Hollywood gives away 26 cars in 26 days
The Seminole Casino Hollywood, the old bingo hall just south of the Hard Rock, is having possibly its biggest promotion ever: 26 Mustangs in 26 days.
It runs from Nov. 5 (Wednesday) through Nov. 30.
Nightly drawings are at 9 p.m. Ten names will be drawn, with one person winning and the nine others getting $500 in free play. Patrons can earn drawing entries daily from noon to 9 p.m.
Meanwhile, the casino will also offer a "$100,000 Suitcase of Cash" on Saturdays. Drawings will be held at 6 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The winner will be escorted to the promo wall where he or she will choose one suitcase. Inside the suitcase there is anywhere from $2,000 to $100,000.
Seminole Hollywood also will have "Free Play Fortune" every 20 minutes from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursdays. Three guests will win $300 free play at every drawing. That’s 84 winners daily.
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.
