Hard Rock Bet’s Florida past motor racing library reached 148 titles as of Nov. 10, up from 21 at its October 2025 launch, according to Gambling Insider. IGT and Light & Wonder have joined Playtech as suppliers of the slot-style historical racing games.
IGT and Light & Wonder add Florida PMR titles
IGT entered Hard Rock Bet’s Florida platform in August with five past motor racing, or PMR, titles. Light & Wonder followed on Nov. 5 with Huff N’ More Puff.
The additions put more suppliers into a category developed by Playtech with Hard Rock. All five IGT titles appeared among the 13 most popular PMR games by unique players in Hard Rock’s September rankings, Gambling Insider reported.
Florida does not permit online casino games. Hard Rock offers PMR through the state’s sports betting framework: the Seminole Tribe’s 2021 gaming compact explicitly includes wagers on past professional sporting events, including motor vehicle races, in its definition of sports betting.
That provision is central to the Florida offering. Historical horse racing products in states such as Kentucky, Virginia and Wyoming generally operate under pari-mutuel regulations at approved physical facilities.
Florida games help lift Playtech’s earnings outlook
Playtech’s North American revenue rose 176% in constant currency in the first half of 2026, driven largely by Hard Rock Bet’s Florida PMR games, according to Gambling Insider. Revenue reached €56.9 million, compared with €21.8 million a year earlier.
Playtech said it spent more than a year developing the product with Hard Rock and absorbed much of the investment in 2025 before it began generating meaningful revenue.
Chief Financial Officer Chris McGinnis said “most of the upside from revenue flows through to EBITDA and free cash flow.”
In a Nov. 10 trading update, Playtech raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to more than €300 million, citing strong performance in the Americas. Analyst consensus stood at €279 million.
The growing supplier lineup also brings competition for Playtech’s share of the business. The company said the introduction of additional third-party PMR suppliers is expected to have a more material impact on its wallet share into 2027.
