The 67,000 square-foot Seminole Coconut Creek Casino is located in northern Broward County, only a 10 minute drive from Boca Raton.

In the face of increasing competition for players from the nearby Palm Beaches, the once dowdy Coconut Creek Casino was renovated in 2006-2007 and has been turned into a relatively stylish facility, with 1,510 gaming machines on the casino's main floor.

Like the other five Seminole casinos in Florida, Coconut Creek at present cannot offer real slots, or games like blackjack, roulette and craps -- all of which fall into the category of Class III gaming. The gaming machines are actually class II video devices that look like slot machines, but are actually bingo games and the spinning reels are for "entertainment purposes only."

On the second floor of the Seminole Coconut Creek casino, reached by an elevator, is an austere poker room with 15 tables.

The Seminoles have big plans for the Coconut Creek, hoping to ultimately transform the casino there into a destination resort that may ultimately exceed in size the Seminole Tribe's Hard Rock hotels and casinos in Hollywood and Tampa.

Future plans that have been discussed for Coconut Creek include a 24-story, 1,500-room hotel; a 160,000-square-foot casino; a 2,500-seat concert venue; 150,000 square feet of shops, restaurants and offices; and a nine-story parking garage would be five stories higher than the tallest building in the surrounding town of Coral Springs.

The casino is located on on Northwest 54th Street, just east of State Road 7 in Coconut Creek, Florida .
