Study conducted by Casino.com analyzed 830,250 TripAdvisor reviews across 108 major casino resorts
The Bayesian-adjusted methodology was used to measure how guests referenced luck, jackpots and winning experiences in online reviews
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa is one of the largest casinos in the U.S. and now easier to get to than ever from cities and regions that typically have not offered nonstop flights in the past including Columbia, MO and Huntsville, AL
For the second straight year, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa has been named the luckiest casino in the U.S. by Casinos.com.
That site conducted a study this year that analyzed 830,250 TripAdvisor reviews across 108 major casino resorts throughout the country, measuring the frequency of luck and reward-related keywords such as “lucky,” “luck,” “won,” “winning,” “success,” “jackpot,” “hand pay,” “winner,” “bonus,” and “profit.”
The Bayesian-adjusted methodology was used to measure how guests referenced luck, jackpots and winning experiences in online reviews while accounting for sample size differences between casino properties.
Seminole Hard Rock Tampa earned the highest Bayesian-weighted “luck score” in the country with 323.58 luck mentions per 1,000 reviews. Nearly half of all TripAdvisor reviews for the property, 46.39%, referenced winning experiences or luck-related terms.
“This back-to-back recognition reinforces what our guests experience every day on our casino floor,” said Travis Lunn, President of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. “From jackpot celebrations and life-changing wins, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa continues to deliver one of the most dynamic gaming experiences in the country. We’re proud to once again be recognized as America’s luckiest casino.”
The casino features 45,000 square feet of gaming space that includes 5,200 slot machines and roughly 180+ table games following its major expansion.
In 2025, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa surpassed $2 billion in jackpots for the fifth consecutive year, totaling $2,796,430,689 across 928,568 jackpots.
