Social Games Entertain Players from Any Computer or Mobile Device
Hollywood, Fla. – February 5, 2018 – Today, Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, both owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, announce the launch of online social games. The new games feature Hard Rock and Seminole Casino branded versions of what industry insiders call “social” games, as payment is not required to enjoy the basic games and only 'virtual' credits are awarded as prizes.
The thrills of Hollywood, Florida begin at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Located just miles from the historic beaches of Hollywood, our hotel packs a punch of entertainment, dining, and poolside flair for those seeking a glamorous escape.
- Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood offers over 3,000 of the most popular slots that include the Seminole Gaming linked Multi-Area Progressive Jackpots and Mega Jackpots.
- IIndulge your senses at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s fine dining restaurants. Available day and night, innovative menus include fresh, inspiring cuisine served daily, alongside award-winning wine lists. Please select one of our restaurants to book a table.
The Hard Rock and Seminole Casino social games were developed as part of a contract with Greentube Internet Entertainment Solutions, a subsidiary of Novomatic Group, one of the world’s largest producers and operators of gaming technologies. The games will run on the Greentube Pro platform and will be available in both desktop and mobile versions.
“Continual customer engagement is important to casino operators who can maximize marketing opportunities as part of the social games,” said Kresimir Spajic, senior vice president of online gaming for Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming. “We are constantly looking for opportunities to increase and deepen brand affiliation among Hard Rock’s millions of loyal fans around the world and we are excited to bring them these new games, which will also allow us to unite the online and offline experiences that the Hard Rock brand offers.”
The social games website, www.hardrocksocialcasino.com, for Hard Rock Casinos is designed to reflect the Hard Rock brand and allows players to link to their favorite Hard Rock Casinos in the United States. Free games include social versions of popular slot machines and table games, such as blackjack and roulette. Players also have the option of linking their social games play to their Hard Rock Wild Card rewards account or linking to other Hard Rock properties’ rewards programs to earn more points for merchandise or casino dining rewards and other prizes and gifts.
The social games website for Seminole Casinos is located at www.seminolesocialcasino.com and offers social games that mirror slot machines and table games, with tournament play and high limit room options available. Players link to their favorite Seminole Casinos in Hollywood, Coconut Creek, Immokalee or Brighton. They can play as guests or complete an easy registration process.
“We partnered with Seminole Gaming and Hard Rock International because of their desire to provide one-of-a-kind experiences for each of their properties,” said Thomas Graf, CEO of Greentube. “This project has brought Greentube Pro to the next level in meeting the demands of a very competitive market, with new functions and features that enhance and maintain our leadership position. We will work on it well into 2018.”
Spajic echoed the potential for the new enterprise to rapidly improve and expand, as more games and entertainment options are added.
“Social games have a huge future potential for casino companies like Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, and the launch is only just the beginning of many more games to come,” Spajic.
