The new casino complex will include the first hotel to be built on the Brighton Seminole Reservation, featuring 100 guest rooms on four stories, totaling 72,000 square feet. An indoor event space with a snack bar can be configured to offer 400 seats for banquet events or bingo games, or 900 seats set up as a performance hall.

Included in the totals are a smoke-free gaming space with 101 slot machines and a high-limit gaming area with 42 slot machines and four table games.ĭining options will include a 24-hour restaurant with 124 seats, a steakhouse with 60 seats and a fast-service and carry-out cafe offering a combination of items from a coffee bar and pizza kitchen. The new facility will include a casino with a total of nearly 38,000 square feet, including space for a total of 623 slot machines and 18 tables for blackjack, baccarat, and other house-banked card games. It will replace the existing Seminole Brighton Casino that opened in 1980, which is one of six casino complexes operated by the Florida Tribe.

The property is projected to open in late 2024, less than two years from the start of construction.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida and Seminole Gaming broke ground Thursday at the site of the future Seminole Casino Hotel Brighton, a new casino, hotel and entertainment complex to be built on the Brighton Seminole Reservation located northwest of Lake Okeechobee.
