Florida players will soon have a chance to qualify from home for a live slots tournament featuring $5 million in prizes and a $1 million first-place award.
Hard Rock Bet’s eight-week qualification period begins Oct. 5 and continues through Nov. 29. Players who secure a spot will advance to a 500-player live tournament at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in December.
That means eligible players across the state, including those in the Tampa Bay area, can pursue a seat in one of Florida’s largest slots tournaments without traveling to South Florida for the qualifying rounds.
How Florida Players Can Qualify
Florida players can participate through Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing in the Hard Rock Bet app.
After opting in, players can participate in weekly online qualifiers beginning Oct. 5. Additional qualifying periods begin Oct. 12, Oct. 19, Oct. 26, Nov. 2, Nov. 9, Nov. 16 and Nov. 23, with the qualification campaign concluding Nov. 29.
Complete qualification details, eligible game titles and official rules will be available on the Hard Rock Bet $5 Million Slots Tournament page.
Players must be at least 21 years old and physically located in Florida when participating in the online qualifiers.
What Are Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing?
Players researching slots in Florida may encounter terms such as Florida online slots and Florida online casinos while looking for ways to play from home. However, Florida’s gaming market works differently from states that offer traditional online casino gaming.
In Florida, Hard Rock Bet offers Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing. Each wager is based on the outcome of an authentic, previously completed motor race selected from an official database. Once the result has been determined, the game presents it through an entertaining video experience.
The growing selection includes familiar game titles from major gaming providers, giving Florida players a way to play for real money through the Hard Rock Bet app.
For Tampa Bay players, the online qualification format provides an opportunity to compete for a place in the live tournament without having to make repeated trips to a retail casino.
A 500-Player Championship in Hollywood
Players who qualify will advance to Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, home of the iconic Guitar Hotel.
Registration and a welcome reception are scheduled for Dec. 11. The live slots tournament will take place Dec. 12, followed by the final round and awards presentation.
A total of 500 players are expected to compete in the championship. The tournament will award $5 million in prizes, with the winner taking home $1 million.
The live event will bring together qualifiers from Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Ontario. Florida players will qualify through Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing, while eligible players in the other participating markets will have separate qualification opportunities through Hard Rock Bet Casino.
Additional tournament seats will also be distributed through select promotional, property and VIP qualification paths.
Florida Players Get a Shot at the $1 Million Prize
The tournament creates a direct connection between online play across Florida and a major live event at one of the state’s most recognizable casino destinations.
A player in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater or anywhere else in Florida can enter an online qualifier through Hard Rock Bet and potentially earn a place among the 500 players competing for the $1 million first prize.
The first weekly qualifying period begins Oct. 5. Players interested in participating should review the official rules, qualification schedule and eligible game titles before entering.
Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing are offered by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Must be 21 or older and physically present in Florida to play. Terms and conditions apply. Concerned about gambling? Call 1-833-PLAYWISE.
