In today's episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Charlie Horner is joined by SBC’s Managing Editor Jessica Welman as the duo discuss how Hard Rock has seemingly sidestepped Florida’s online casino ban with the launch of its new slot-style ‘Games’ product.

Tune in to today’s episode to find out:

• How Hard Rock Bet introduced slot-like gaming in a state where online casinos are illegal.
• What makes these new “Games” different and how they use old NASCAR race data.
• Whether the Seminole Tribe’s gaming compact has been cleverly worded to allow this move.
• If legal challenges could soon follow this unexpected soft launch.
• What this development means for the future of online gaming in Florida and beyond.
