Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa has been named a triple winner at the 2026 International Casino Awards, taking home honors for Best Casino in Florida, Best Casino Marketing Team and Best Casino Staff.

The awards, presented by Casinos.com, recognize top casino operators worldwide based on player votes across more than 100 categories.

"Receiving these honors is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the passion, dedication and hard work of our team," Seminole Hard Rock Tampa President Travis Lunn said.

The property's sweep of staff- and service-focused categories — marketing and floor staff in addition to the statewide casino distinction — reflects a years-long emphasis on guest experience. Lunn credited that culture for the recognition.

"To be recognized not only as the Best Casino in Florida, but also for having the Best Casino Marketing Team and Best Casino Staff, speaks to the exceptional guest service we strive to deliver across every aspect of our operation," Lunn said.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa was among a small group of properties worldwide to win multiple awards in this year's competition, and the only one in Florida.

"We are incredibly proud of our team members, whose commitment to service and innovation continues to set Seminole Hard Rock Tampa apart as a premier entertainment and gaming destination," Lunn said.

The property, located in East Tampa, is one of the highest-volume gaming facilities in the southeastern United States. It features more than 5,000 slot machines, 200-plus table games (including craps and roulette), a poker room, a sportsbook, a dayclub, nightclub and salon and spa. 

The attached Hard Rock Events Center hosts a diverse array of concerts, comedy acts and large poker tournaments.
