Put some bang into your Fourth at Florida casinos

The Fourth of July is nearly here. There’s going to be plenty of fireworks — literally and figuratively — at casinos across The Sunshine State.

Sports betting is still illegal in Florida, but you can gamble on pretty much everything else this weekend at Florida casinos. In doing so, you can participate in several promotions focused on the holiday.

Fireworks highlight Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s festivities

Coconut Creek’s Coco’s Fireworks Extravaganza is the premier event among the Seminole network of casinos. The festivities take place from 8 to 11 p.m. on July 3 and include a fireworks show by the Grucci family, food trucks and a weekend full of entertainment.

The casino’s fireworks show will start after 8 p.m. on Sunday. The Gruccis are known as America’s first family of fireworks. The family at one time held Guinness World Records for the largest fireworks display and largest fireworks shell in the world. They coordinated fireworks displays at four different Olympic Games.

As part of the event, six food trucks will be serving grub:

  • Captain Lobstar: Lobster rolls, seafood salads and a variety of fried seafood dishes.
  • Crunly: Deserts that include sundaes, lollypops and churros.
  • Inspir-Asian: Dim-sum-style appetizers, along with entrees such as orange chicken, bang-bang shrimp tacos and noodle bowls.
  • Giovanni’s: Traditional Fourth fare, including chili dogs, ice cream, soda floats, shakes and sundaes.
  • Meathead’s BBQ: Traditional barbecue dishes like brisket and pulled pork sandwiches and ribs.
  • City Wings 305: Wings, burgers, fries, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches.

Popular South Florida rock band The Regs will perform at the event. Inside the casino, Seminole Wild Card members can earn up to a 100x multiplier on their comp dollars when they play slots and table games on July 4. The promotion starts at 7 a.m.

Additionally, there is a drawing for a $5,000 cash winner at 5 p.m. and $1,000 bonus bet giveaways every hour from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.

The contests are open to all Seminole Wild Card members who insert their cards into any slot machine or are rated in table games within an hour of the drawings.
