Hard Rock Bet has launched a novel online betting product in Florida that combines the excitement of sports wagering with the look and feel of slot machines. Their new “Games Powered by Past Motor Races” use historical NASCAR and motor racing results to determine game outcomes, allowing players to bet on finishing orders of unnamed cars. Unlike traditional slots that rely on random number generators, these games link each play to real past race data, legally classifying them as sports bets. The app also provides transparency by showing which historical race influenced each result, offering a unique blend of casino-style visuals and sports betting mechanics.

This innovation draws inspiration from historical horse racing betting models, adapting the concept to motor races to navigate Florida’s gambling laws. Operated by the Seminole Tribe under the state’s 2021 gaming compact, the games offer multiple betting options with payouts based on odds assigned to each car’s predicted finish. While traditional online casino games remain banned in Florida, Hard Rock Bet’s approach delivers a casino-like experience within sports betting regulations. The rollout is currently limited, and regulatory acceptance is pending, but the product marks a bold step in expanding Florida’s online sports betting landscape.
