Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel and Casino opens to visitors

The Seminole Tribe of Florida, the owner and operator of six casinos in the state, confirmed the opening of its newest venue, Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel and Casino. The luxury hotel and casino replaces the classic Seminole Casino Brighton, which first opened its doors in 1980, celebrated its grand opening on Thursday.

The new hotel and casino brings a range of amenities

The exciting opening ceremony attracted local guests, Seminole Gaming and the Seminole Tribe of Florida executives, as well as state representatives.

Besides a ribbon-cutting ceremony with oversized scissors, the grand opening featured live music performance and the traditional Seminole alligator procession which symbolizes prosperity.

Visitors to Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel and Casino can enjoy a wide range of gambling options, including 640 slot machines, 18 tables for games such as roulette, craps and blackjack and other house-banked games.

In addition, the venue offers high-stakes bingo, a smoke-free gaming area with more than 100 popular slot machines and a separate high-limit area with four table games and 42 slots.

Further amenities include luxury hotel accommodation. In fact, Seminole Bay Hotel and Casino represents the first hotel to open doors on the Brighton Seminole Reservation.

Overall, there are 100 guest rooms available that offer queen or king beds, as well as further amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool with a bar, an entertainment venue and a gym.
