HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (September 25, 2007) – 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 is a session in which executives from the three Broward County racinos and Seminole Hard Rock will analyze slot operations and growth prospects at the Indian casinos and parimutuel facilities.

“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 a 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 other 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.
