November Deep Stack Special Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida $360 No-Limit Hold’em (Single Re-Entry) Entries: 284 Prize Pool: $85,200. The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood poker room is just a 10-15 minute drive from the Fort-Lauderdale Hollywood airport. It lies on Route 441 slightly north of the junction with 848. The casino sits a fair distance from the coast and is more isolated from other attractions than more coastal casinos like Isle Casino Pompano Park or Magic City. As with pretty much everywhere in South Florida, traffic can be fairly heavy around Seminole Hard Rock. Seminole Hard Rock Tampa became one of the first card rooms in the US to reopen since the coronavirus hit. And if the poker room’s first night is any indication, there’s still demand to play live. Seminole Hard Rock Tampa continues to set the bar offering the largest variety of high stakes, live action poker 24/7, from Texas Hold’em to Seven-Card Stud and Omaha Hi-Lo. Join trendsetters and tastemakers to test your skills during our monthly tournaments and promotions offered exclusively for our poker players. Make sure to bring your poker face to the table and enjoy all the lavish amenities. So, are you all in?
The Hard Rock Hollywood (also known under its full name: The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino) is a magnet for high-rolling poker players. Given its proximity to the sandy beaches of Fort Lauderdale, the Hard Rock Hollywood is a hot spot for gambling beloved by locals and tourists alike. Operated by the famous entertainment and hospitality brand on a Native American reservation, this room boasts more than 140,000 square feet of gambling action.
Poker in South Florida received a big boost this weekend as both the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino properties in Hollywood and Coconut Creek reopened their doors on Friday, June 12.
The properties, which have been closed since March 20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, opened under “Safe+Sound” guidelines, which include guests being required to wear a mask, temperature screenings, and a 50 percent max occupancy.
For poker players, the following precautions and procedures will be in place:
- The poker room will run 25 of their 45 tables
- Active tables will feature Plexiglass dividers
- All games will be played max six-handed
- Both players and staff will be required to wear masks
- Cards and chips will be cleaned on a regular basis
- Food not permitted in the poker room. Players can request a 60-minute dinner break.
- One table or seat change allowed per session
Both Seminole properties have host prolific tournament series including Seminole Showdowns, World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit stops, and Moneymaker's Road to PSPC. The reopening come about three weeks after their sister property, Hard Rock Tampa, resumed their operations on May 21.
'Major tournament series for Seminole Hard Rock Poker have been well-established globally over the last 10 years,' the poker team at Seminole Gaming told PokerNews. 'When the time is right, these series will return with the same first-class experience that the players have come to know and love.'
The Hard Rock Tampa poker room, which opened under the same guidelines outlines above, saw an immediate demand as poker players not only flocked to the tables, but were willing to put their names on long waiting lists.
'The opening of poker at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa went extremely well. It has been open for over three weeks and the tables remain full, with lists,' the Seminole poker team added. 'Much of the credit goes to Director of Poker Operations, Pablo Perez.'
All Seminole Hard Rock properties have also been equipped with air purification and disinfecting systems
“The health and safety of our team members and guests has always been of upmost importance to our senior leadership team and Tribal Council,” Seminole Hard Rock said in a statement. “We want to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to provide a safe environment for our team members and you, our loyal customers.”
It continued: “As information is changing rapidly and we are learning more daily about COVID-19 and how to stop the spread, we will continue to regularly update the Safe+Sound protocols based on facts and data provided by our partners, industry councils, as well as global and governmental agencies.”
