Seminole Hollywood poker room celebrates 15 years
Playing off its niche as South Florida's only "smoker friendly" poker room, the Seminole Casino Hollywood is giving away $5 in chips and a lighter with any $100 buy-in.
The poker room at the casino, commonly known as "Seminole Classic," is celebrating its 15-year anniversary. They are offering $500 for every royal flush.
Other promotions include:
Aces cracked at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays. $100 to first 10 players to lose with pocket aces in the showdown.
9 a.m. – Noon on Wednesdays and 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Saturdays, the top high hand every hour will receive $100.
On Fridays from 2 p.m. to midnight, there will be half hour Splash Pots where random tables will be splashed with $100 in chips.
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.
