HOLLYWOOD, FL – Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming today unveiled “Rock Your Shot,” a team member COVID-19 vaccination incentive program with grand prizes that include a 2021 Jeep Cherokee and cash awards of $10,000 and $5,000.

All team members who have been fully vaccinated and who show their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card to their local human resources department or Hard Rock Cafe general manager will automatically receive a $50 gift card.  In addition, all team members who report their vaccination and claim a gift card will be entered into a drawing for the 2021 Jeep Cherokee and cash prizes to be held Oct. 31, 2021.

The “Rock Your Shot” vaccination incentive program is open to all full time and part time fully-vaccinated team members of company-owned or managed Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming entities in the United States, including its hotels, restaurants, casinos and corporate offices.

Headquartered in Hollywood, Fla., Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming together employ about 21,000 team members throughout the country. Aggressive efforts to vaccinate team members have included providing shots in arms at workplaces and establishing flexible rules to encourage off-site vaccinations.

“We are committed to a safe working environment for all of our team members,” said Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming.  “With more team members vaccinated, there is less chance for the virus to spread to other team members and guests.”

The vaccination incentive program is entirely voluntary and open to all fully-vaccinated team members in the past or in the future, up to the Oct. 31, 2021 drawing.  All vaccination information provided by team members will remain confidential, as required by federal government guidelines.
