Chairman of Hard Rock International (HRI) and Hard Rock Digital and CEO of Seminole Gaming, Jim Allen, has been given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 28th Annual East Coast Gaming Congress (ECGC).
Allen accepted the award in a ceremony at ECGC, the longest-running gaming conference in the United States, in his hometown, held at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
Allen is the seventh person to receive this award in the nearly 30-year ECGC history. ECGC honoured Allen for his nearly 45-year career in the global gaming and hospitality industry.
"This recognition is a testament to the hard-working team at Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, whose dedication and passion have driven our success,” said Allen.
“I extend my deepest gratitude to the Seminole Tribe of Florida for their continued leadership and am proud of what we have accomplished – from expanding our global footprint, to innovating in the gaming and hospitality industries, and forming incredible alliances with icons in entertainment and sports. This award inspires us to continue pushing boundaries and setting new standards of excellence.
“Thank you to the East Coast Gaming Congress for this incredible honour.”
