Even though Brighton Indian Reservation Casino is an hour from our home and in a different county, it is the closest place to go if you want to gamble. Smaller than the Hard Rock Seminole Casinos in Hollywood and Tampa, they still host big money bingo games and have slot machines and poker games.
The poker room is my favorite spot in the casino. Texas Hold'em is the live game which is always being played. Other games, including Omaha hi-low and 7-card stud, are available if requested and enough people want to play. There are tournaments offered during the week and on weekends, too. Florida law limits the casinos to low stakes betting; however, you can still win a couple hundred dollars - or more if you're lucky enough to hit a Royal Flush.
