Why is that truck hanging in the air?

Since early April, a truck with the date "April 30" has been suspended high above the Seminole Casino Hollywood, also known as "Seminole Classic." It's their Crash for Cash promotion.

Here's what's going on:

On Thursday, April 30, from 4:30 – 9 p.m., three people every 30 minutes will get $250 free play and one will earn a free spot in the Crash for Cash Final drawing. That day’s 10 finalists will each get a money bag of up to $2,500 plus at 10 p.m. one of them will move on to the Vault Grand Prize. There, they pick from 10 more bags, and can win up to $25,000. Plus, if the winner picks the correct briefcase they’ll "share the wealth" with 50 other people who’ll get $100 free play each.

The "truck" is really made out of styrofoam and has been hanging near the casino entrance along State Road 7.

Meanwhile, the $5 million Traveling Cash Display that has hit the Hard Rock and Seminole Coconut Creek, comes to Seminole Classic, with an opening event at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 23.

Seminole Player’s Club members also can win $1 million by swiping their Wild Card at a designated kiosk. The cash display ties in with the casino’s theme for April: “Seminole Stimulus”. Promotions include the $100,000 “Big Three Bailout” car giveaway each Sunday.

Players also can have their photo taken for free in front of the cash.

The quote from Seminole GM Adrian Fox: "April is our Seminole Stimulus month so we’re hoping the $5 million traveling display and $1 million jackpot stimulates the economy of one of our loyal players."

Other related promotions include:

Three winners every 30 minutes from 1-5:30 p.m. Sunday will receive $200 free play, plus one of them will be placed in the Big Three Bailout grand prize drawing at 6 p.m. for a chance to win a new car of their choosing from one of the Big Three automakers.

On Tuesday, guests can play in the Beat the Banker Quick Fire Slot Tournament. The person with the highest score will win $1,000 cash; others who beat the banker’s score can win $50, $150 or $250 in free play.

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.
