Hollywood's Seminole Casino

Introduction

Across the street from the original Seminole Casino is its rival, the Seminole Hard Rock. While the original casino remains impressive with its 25 poker tables and regular weekly tournaments, the Seminole Hard Rock offers a vibrant, flashy style and a modern casino hotel experience.

The Rise of No-Limit Games and Cap Adjustments

Four years ago, a $½ no-limit game made its debut in the casino poker scene, typically with a $100 cap on the buy-in. This cap was initially set to prevent wealthier players from dominating the tables. However, as the poker community realized that $100 was too restrictive, the cap has been increased to $500 in some locations.

Changes in Florida’s No-Limit Poker Regulations

No-limit poker recently became legal in Florida. Prior to this change, there was a $2 betting limit. The legislature aimed to balance the introduction of no-limit games with measures to protect players from excessive losses, which is why buy-ins are capped.

The Impact of $100 Buy-In Caps

The $100 buy-in caps allow players to repeatedly purchase buy-ins. A player can buy in for $100, lose it, and then buy another $100 cap, continuing this process as needed. Although this system may result in players losing their money gradually over multiple games, it still permits them to risk their entire bankroll if they choose. Consequently, this limitation may not be the most effective approach.

Some players continue to favor the original Seminole Casino, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
