New Chief Operating Officer for Seminole Gaming

"Since joining the Seminole Tribe's gaming operation in early 2008, Howard Dreitzer has been invaluable in the launch of blackjack, baccarat and other table games at both Seminole Hard Rocks and the Seminole Casino Immokalee," said Allen, to whom Dreitzer reports. "I am confident that his future contributions to the Tribe's gaming operations will be even more significant."

In his new position, Dreitzer assumes overall responsibility for operations management of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos in Hollywood and Tampa, FL, as well as the Seminole Casinos in Coconut Creek, Hollywood, on the Immokalee Reservation near Naples, on the Brighton Reservation northwest of Lake Okeechobee and on the Big Cypress Reservation south of Lake Okeechobee.
 
Dreitzer had been Senior Vice President of Table Games for Seminole Gaming, a position he had held since March, 2008. He directed the 2008 introduction of blackjack, baccarat and other table games with the approval of the US Department of the Interior, which validated the gaming compact signed by the Seminole Tribe and the State of Florida in 2007.
