The Seminole Tribe and Hard Rock: the world largest tribal casino empire

The Seminole Tribe of Florida is the only American tribe that never signed a peace treaty with the US government and was never militarily defeated: it survived in the Everglades under extreme conditions during the three Seminole Wars of the 19th century. In 1979, the tribe opened its first bingo hall with USD 10,000 prizes in Hollywood, Florida, violating state law limiting bingo prizes to USD 100, and won the subsequent court case, opening the path to tribal casinos in the US. In 2006, the tribe paid USD 965 million for the Hard Rock International brand, the largest corporate acquisition by an Indigenous tribe in American history. Today the Seminole Tribe owns all Hard Rock hotels and cafes in the world, making it the world largest hotel franchisor of Indigenous origin.
