TAMPA, Fla. (September 19, 2018) – Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa will be the first casino in the world to receive IGT’s Blake Shelton Video Slot machines.

The machines will be available for use beginning Tuesday, September 25, in the art deco-inspired Mezzanine Level Casino.

To celebrate the arrival of the new slots, the property will be holding a contest where 10 lucky guests will win $500 each to play on one of the four machines. Contestants can enter online from September 20 to September 24.

The new video slots were created by IGT to feature Country Music Association’s “Entertainer of the Year,” five-time Male Vocalist of the Year winner and seven-time GRAMMY nominee, Blake Shelton. He’s known for his success in country music and his role as a coach on the Emmy Award-winning television show “The Voice.”

The Blake Shelton Video Slots is a low-denomination, 40 pay-line game and features a 375-credit maximum bet. The game offers a jukebox that includes many of Shelton’s 25 number one radio singles and other favorites.

There are a handful of bonuses that the game offers including the “Light up the Night” free games bonus, “I’ll be your Honey Bee” bonus and the “BS’ers” bonus, which offers players the chance to win a jackpot along with an official Blake Shelton autographed guitar.
