Throwing You to the Sharks

Sharks and gamblers go together in so ways that it's impossible to make a precise analogy. Loan sharks, pool sharks, card sharks, a gambler will run into some form of shark at some point in his or her profession. But not until now -- ok maybe in the late '70s after the movie Jaws -- have slots been associated with the beasts of the sea. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is partnering with the Florida Aquarium to heighten awareness about the dangers sharks face, like... umm... extinction. Great White slot machines are now available in the casino.
