Safe + Sound

by

Thanks again to everyone coming out for the Tampa Poker Classic Main Event. We appreciate you spending your time with us. Your entire poker room and casino team are working to provide a safe and fun environment.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa reopened under new and stringent “Safe+Sound” program guidelines. The guidelines include multiple new initiatives designed to create a Hard Rock entertainment experience in an environment that helps to keep guests and team members safe. Safe+Sound Program guidelines include:

  • Temperature checks for all guests and team members prior to entry. Any guest or team member with a temperature above CDC guidelines will not be allowed entry.
  • A requirement that all guests wear masks or cloth face coverings that meet CDC guidelines, without exception. Masks are provided to guests, as needed.
  • A face covering over your nose and mouth must be worn at all times except when actively eating, drinking or smoking while seated and physically distanced.
  • Thousands of alternating slot machines are turned off, to help ensure social distancing on the casino floor.
  • New Plexiglas barriers divide players at table games, poker games and customer service areas.
  • Signs are posted throughout the complex to encourage social distancing and help ensure adherence to Safe+Sound Program guidelines.
  • More than 100 team members are part of a new “Safe+Sound Clean Team” to focus on cleaning and disinfecting surfaces throughout the complex, with special emphasis on high-touch surfaces and common areas.
  • Hand-sanitizing stations are available on the casino floor, at the entrances and throughout the resort.
  • Constant purification and disinfecting of the air flowing into the complex through the AtmosAir™ bipolar ionization system designed to destroy virus particles in the air and on surfaces.
  • An overall 50 percent reduction in guest capacity throughout the resort.

“Hard Rock and Seminole Gaming have made a tremendous commitment to sanitary protocols and a safety-first mentality for both guests and team members,” said Jim Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming and Chairman of Hard Rock International. “We are making sure our resorts are safe and sound so our guests and team members have peace of mind when they return.”
