HOLLYWOOD, Florida -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The third Florida Gaming
Summit, set for Oct. 8-9 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino here,
offers a unique opportunity for a back-of-the-house tour of this
exceptional gaming property. The tour will be on Oct. 8 from 4:00pm to
5:00pm, prior to the Summit's opening night reception. Lyle Bell, Senior
Vice President of Information Technology for Seminole Gaming, will show off
the facility's state-of-the-art gaming floor primed for the introduction of
server-based gaming, and offer insight into the technology behind a
successful casino operation.
A highlight of the conference program the following day will have
executives from the three Broward County racinos and Seminole Hard Rock
Hollywood analyze slot operations and growth prospects at the Indian
casinos and Broward County racinos in South Florida.
"The market potential for gaming machines in Florida is tremendous,
with negotiations continuing for Class III gaming at tribal casinos and the
potential expansion of slots or VLTs to other parimutuel properties," said
panel moderator Charles Anderer, Director of Trade Events for conference
co- producer BNP Media Gaming Group. "So far we've probably only seen the
tip of the iceberg."
The Florida Gaming Summit, expected to attract hundreds of attendees,
includes Luncheon Keynote Address from Seminole Gaming CEO James F. Allen,
a Welcome Address from Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper, and an intensive
conference program that includes sessions on the view from Wall Street,
Indian gaming in Florida and nationally, the impact of slots on parimutuel
operations, and the political outlook in Florida.
