"We're going to continue to be a good neighbor to the residents of Coconut
Creek," said Osceola. "This gaming facility enables the tribe to do many
things that benefit our members, the city of Coconut Creek and the state of
Florida."
Formally organized in 1957, the Seminole Tribe of Florida has evolved into
one of the state's major economic "engines," providing a wide range of
tourist attractions that are funded by several gaming facilities.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida has a significant impact on the state. It
currently employs more than 2,000 non-Indians and purchases more than $24
million in goods and services from more than 850 Florida vendors every year.
In addition, the Tribe pays $3.5 million in federal payroll taxes.
The Coconut Creek Casino is the Seminoles' fifth in Florida. Others are
located in Hollywood, Immokalee, Brighton, and Tampa.
