Thirty years ago in Hollywood, the Seminole Tribe of Florida started what would become a gambling empire with ... bingo.

So the tribe is marking its 30th anniversary with a statewide game that could yield $1 million to one player who covers his or her card in 48 numbers of fewer.

It runs from 2-4:30 p.m. Dec. 13. Players can enter for $95 in advance; it's $110 on Dec. 13. Players must be at least 18.

The tribe will call the numbers and and players at the Hard Rocks in Hollywood and Tampa, Seminole casinos in Immokalee, Coconut Creek, Hollywood and Brighton will check their cards.

The Super Jackpot Million Dollar Bingo Game will consist of one “cover all” game. The first person to successfully cover all of the spaces on their card in 48 numbers or fewer will win the $1 million grand prize. If no participant fills their card in 48 numbers or fewer, the cover all winner gets $50,000.There also will be 20 games that pay out $2,500 each.

“It’s going to be a fun way to recognize the Seminole Tribe’s remarkable 30-year pioneer gaming legacy which has helped to improve the lives of so many North American Native Indian tribes,” said Seminole Gaming vice president of marketing, Jeffrey Hook.

Updated: No one hit the million, and two folks shared the $50,000. It was at the Hard Rock Hollywood and the Hard Rock Tampa. Both declined to release their names. Each venue had a hectic final 48 hours of sales for the cards, and the event sold out, they said.
