Spectrum Gaming sees more tribal casinos expanding into commercial casino markets, as Choctaw Chief Beasley Denson said the tribe may do after voters objected to a casino in Jackson County. "They're just like any other casino," said Weinert, with none of the tax advantages of a typical tribal casino and the same labor laws that pertain to commercial casinos.

"This is a proud moment for the Seminole Tribe of Florida and for all Indian Tribes," said Cypress, who heads an elected Tribal Council. "It is ... an opportunity for the Seminole Tribe to diversify its business operations and help a very successful company to achieve even greater growth. Hard Rock International has an experienced management team and dedicated employees at every restaurant, hotel and Rock Shop."
