About Us

Be Iconic represents the roots of our culture.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida remains the only unconquered tribe in the United States of America. The Tribe established Seminole Gaming in 1979, when it opened the first high-stakes bingo hall in the United States.

Today, Hard Rock International remains one of the most globally recognized companies in the world, with Hard Rock Hotel, Casino, Cafe and Rock Shop venues in over 74 countries. With the continued growth of Seminole Gaming and Hard Rock International, Seminole Hard Rock Support Services was created to support all of our brands and lines of business.
