Floridians no longer have to go Vegas to lay down a sports bet or play their favorite table games.
On Thursday night the Seminole Hollywood Hard Rock casino debuted popular table games, roulette and craps, with various celebrities in attendance.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson, former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, rappers Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Ja Rule, and social media star Bobbi Althoff were some of the celebs on hand for the event.

The new table games are being implemented as part of a Gaming Compact between the Seminole Tribe and the State of Florida in 2021.
The deal gave the tribe exclusive rights to online sports betting which led to the launch of the Hard Rock Bets app, which is now available to everyone over the age of 21 in Florida.
