Gnaw on This! Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood Reels In Exclusive JAWS™ Slot Machines in July

Casino Partners with Miami Seaquarium to Offer Great JAWS Slots Action and Authentic Shark Sights & Adventures with Ticket Drawings on August 1

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Gnaw on this! JAWS™ slot machines are surfacing exclusively in Florida at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood and Tampa this week. To celebrate the arrival of the Great White winning machines, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is giving away four tickets to the Miami Seaquarium on Saturday, August 1, every hour beginning from 1 p.m. – 7 p.m. Additionally, at 8 p.m. a prize drawing of four certificates for Miami Seaquarium's Swim with the Dolphins experience, the Dolphin Odyssey, will be given away to slot players. The prize is designed to build excitement for the launch of JAWS™ Slot Machines and raise awareness about sharks and other fascinating sea creatures.

Based on the spine-tingling book by Peter Benchley and 1976 Academy Award®-winning film franchise, the two-cent denomination JAWS™ slot machines submerge the player in a total interactive experience. With a flick of a finger on the "shark tooth" spin button, the game begins with that trademark ominous John Williams JAWS™ theme.  Players can vie for one of four Hyperlink® progressive jackpots and fun bonus games to keep them in the "water" and in the game, longer. Completing the experience, an electro-mechanical buoy topper lights up and sounds off a bell during game play.

A visual and auditory lure, JAWS™ slot machines will make their presence known with larger-than-life blood-red title lettering hovering over a sea foam-colored casing with bubble trim, synchronized game play illumination and shark "gills" that cover the speakers. State-of-the-art video with enhanced graphics and interactive scenes and reels aim to thrill. "All of the excitement and suspense that made JAWS™  - the movie such a memorable experience are now at our players' fingertips," said Paul Tjoumakaris, senior vice president of gaming operations at Seminole Gaming. "We're looking forward to sharing another exclusive, fun and thrilling Florida debut with our players. We invite everyone to 'go fish' and hunt for jackpots the Seminole Hard Rock way."

When Miami Seaquarium first opened in 1955, one of the main attractions was the Shark Channel. Today, guests are still entranced by these fearsome creatures. At the Shark Presentation, animal care specialists feed 200-pound sharks while explaining the various species of shark that exist worldwide. Seminole Hard Rock winners can visit the Shark Channel and see all the attractions offered by the Miami Seaquarium.

The grand prize winner will not only get to see the sharks at the Miami Seaquarium, but win the opportunity to experience the Dolphin Odyssey at Miami Seaquarium's Dolphin Harbor. With this experience, guests may kiss, hug, dance, rub and get up-close to the dolphins, plus swim into deeper water for more interactions including a dolphin ride across the pool.  First, you'll learn about these magnificent marine mammals in an interactive and educational classroom presentation before you put on a wetsuit for the fun filled, deep water interaction with a dolphin. It's an experience you'll never forget!  *Participants in this program must be 52" or taller.
