Introduction to Seminole Brighton Casino

Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee 506 South 1st Street Immokalee, Florida 34142 United States Phone: 1-239-658-1313. Seminole Casino in Brighton is located between S.R. 78 and S.R.70 on Hwy 721, west of Lake Okeechobee on the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation. The Brighton casino is one of 6 casinos owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The other 5 casinos are the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood, Seminole Casino Immokalee.

A month or so ago, I was invited to visit Seminole Brighton Casino in Okeechobee, Florida. This tribal casino is located on the Seminole Brighton Reservation a bit less than a 3-hour drive south of Orlando, Florida.

This was an invitation from close family, as well as family friends. Since it had been a while since I’d seen my dad, I thought it would be a nice opportunity to catch up, as well.

So, I made travel arrangements for a 2-day trip this last weekend. I flew in the night before, on Saturday, and left the following evening, just so I could spend a few hours at a casino with family and family friends explaining how to win at their favorite casino.

I was particularly looking forward to figuring out how to win in a single casino visit at someplace I had not been before. While I was confident I would be able to do so over several weeks, based on past experience, I was interested in learning if I could perform the same analysis in only a few hours. Spoiler alert: Yes, I was able to do so.

I didn’t myself gamble on this trip, although I still consider this a trip report. It’s just my kind of trip report. As I have mentioned in the past, the kind of slots I like to play are high limit slots. But, this isn’t what most people like when they play slots.

When it comes time to talk with high limit slots players about how to win at high limit slots, I’m already ready to do so. And, to be frank, to do so endlessly. So, high rollers will be able to get what they need from me as opportunities arise. But what about the so-called low-rollers, or at least those slots players who do not make use of high limit slots rooms? What about them?

Well, this article and eventual podcast is about my learning to be as helpful as possible to those low rollers whenever I encounter them. I want to understand their problems, and be prepared to provide useful and clear answers to those concerns. And, with this trip to Seminole Brighton Casino, I have taken a great big step forward in doing so.

Here’s how it went.

“Have Podcast, Will Travel”

Map Of Florida Casinos Locations

About a year ago, and then again earlier in 2018, I set up a CafePress merchandise shop for clothing and other items with my Professor Slots. This visit was an opportunity to provide some of these items to family at the usual 100% discount.

Again, I wish I could do this for you instead of just for my dad’s birthday. So, I asked my dad, Jon, and his wife, Barb, and their married friends Dave and Lois if there was anything they’d like from the site. They picked out a few things, and I ordered them.

I also made sure I had a few soft cover copies of my book Learning to Win: How to Make a Profit at Slot Machine Gambling, which I discussed in the last article and last podcast episode #26. Then, finally, I took along a few of my Professor Slots pens as the third type of gift for these two couples.

Finally, I put together a little travel pack for podcasting while on-the-road. This is more about the technical aspects of having a podcast, but something I need to be prepared for in the future. And, apparently, the future is now.

My studio setup has a nice microphone on a boom mic stand with a couple of 25-foot cables with an in-line signal amplifier, mixer, and laptop with a backup recording option from the mixer.

The podcast travel kit included a cheap but good microphone, a shock mount for the mic, a table-top microphone stand, the backup recorder mentioned above, which was specifically the very nice Zoom H4 recording, and a handy little portable recorder called a Zoom H1.

While I did not have time to prepare and record a podcast while on the trip, which was quite okay since I wasn’t sure I’d have time to get to it, I did learn a thing or two about getting it through TSA airport security. As it happens, the TSA asks that any electronics larger than a smart phone be placed in a separate container.

So, when leaving from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport, for Orlando, Florida, I first learned they had to be removed. As instructed by the TSA, I removed the recorder, microphone in it shock mount, Zoom H5 recorder, and the tiny Zoom H1 recorder. Those got through security just fine. But, not so the table-top microphone stand.

Well, to be specific, the tabletop microphone stand made it through TSA at the airport in Cincinnati, When going through x-ray, they pulled out my bag and located it, then appeared to puzzle over it a bit. I mentioned it was just an old mic stand, and they let it go through.

Where it didn’t get through TSA was at the Orlando airport on the trip back the next day. They again diverted it during the x-ray screening, but took it upon themselves to pull over their supervisor to ask if they could let it through. He said no, but they offered to have be go back through security after putting it in checked baggage.

I declined, because I don’t always check baggage. And, the darn thing was just so heavy anyway. So, I lost my rusted, 20-year-old table-top microphone stand that I never use. I’ll need to get a relatively light replacement. With the microphone shock mount, all I’d really need was just a handle or handgrip connected to the shock mount. So, lesson learned!

Pre-Trip Research

Also on the trip, I make sure I reviewed by article on Florida Slot Machine Casino Gambling which I had originally published back on August 10, 2017. Yes, it had been awhile since I’d written it, and needed a bit of a refresher.

If you go read it yourself, you’ll find the article mentions Seminole Brighton Casino as one of seven Seminole casinos in Florida. Because it is a tribal casino in the state of Florida, the gaming regulations for it are included in a state-tribal compact rather than having state gaming regulations like those for non-tribal casinos.

This was a good reminder, that it was a tribal casino. What this mostly mean was that I would have a long drive ahead of me, once I landed at the Orlando airport, because many American Indian tribal casinos are often located in somewhat isolated, relatively hard-to-reach tracks of land.

Having already researched Florida casinos last August, there was very little additional research to perform. I can imagine this not being the case for other, future casino trip reports where I have not yet completed that state’s slot machine casino gambling article.

There will also be other casino trip reports where the trip research will be somewhat more unique, which is for international casinos. I have tentative plans to someday visit Caesars Windsor, across the border from Detroit as well as tentative plans to travel across parts of Europe later this year with my daughter and her family. Might I see a casino on that trip with my daughter? I think I just might!
