NFL Week 1 is here, which means offseason football withdrawals are finally over. If you’ve been counting down the days until real football just like we have, then you’ll be happy to know that we give you a way to keep the football spirit alive between games.
Hard Rock Bet Online Casino has a deeper bench of American football-themed slots and games than you would expect, live in New Jersey and Michigan. We have slots, table games, keno and other versatile options.
Below are the best football-themed games to try as you wait for kickoff, or even to play at halftime while you’re killing time in between the action.
Big Kick LuckyTap
- Provider: Design Works Gaming
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.20 / $50 (NJ), $100 (MI)
- Best for: Super quick plays with a field-goal feel
Reels? Forget ’em. Big Kick LuckyTap is more like a last-second field goal attempt. You line up the kick, and when the ball splits the uprights the board lights up and pays out anywhere from three to 18 prizes at once. The one to watch for is the golden ball, which drops a random multiplier of up to 7x on everything before handing out another round of prizes. It is fast, it is easy to pick up, and it’s the most popular football title on the app.
Wild Touchdown Megaways
- Provider: Red Tiger
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.10 / $10
- Best for: Chasing the biggest ceiling on the list
This one has the biggest ceiling of the bunch. Wild Touchdown Megaways runs the full Megaways engine with up to 117,649 ways to win and cascading wins that keep the drive alive after every hit. The reason to stick around is the free spins round. Your win multiplier opens at 1x and climbs by one with every win, all the way to 20x, and it does not reset until the feature is done. Get hot in there and the math can get out of hand quickly. There is a progressive jackpot sitting on top, too.
Football Studio
- Provider: Evolution
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.50 (NJ), $1 (MI) / $5,000
- Best for: Table game fans who want a fast card game with football atmosphere
Not everything here is a slot. Football Studio is a live dealer card game that takes place on the gridiron, and it’s probably the easiest game on this list to learn. Two cards get dealt, Home and Away, and you back the higher one. Bet Home, bet Away, or take a swing on the Draw at 11 to 1. A real dealer runs it in real time, which makes it the perfect thing to keep on a second screen while the actual games are on.
Prefer to skip the live table? First Person Football Studio is the RNG version. Same game, instant hands, with a Go Live button whenever you want to jump to a dealer.
Touchdown Cash
- Provider: Red Tiger
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.10 / $20
- Best for: Players who want several ways into a bonus
Touchdown Cash is for players who like options. Three colored trophies sit above the reels, and each opens a different door. The blue trophy hands you an instant cash prize. The white trophy triggers free spins with an expanding wild locked on the middle reel. The red trophy kicks off a Hold & Respin where the right symbols climb toward a Mega prize. Land the Superstar wild along the way and it stretches to cover a full reel.
If you would rather not wait for a trigger, there is a Bonus Buy Feature button to jump straight to the good part.
Blackjack IN FOR 6!
- Provider: Light & Wonder
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $1 / $5,000
- Best for: Blackjack players who want a high-ceiling side bet
This one will be familiar for blackjack fans, but offers up an optional twist. Blackjack IN FOR 6! is straight blackjack with a football theme. The dealer stands on all 17, blackjack pays 3 to 2, and you get all the splits and doubles you expect. The addition is the IN FOR 6! side bet which pays when your first two cards add up to six. Catch a pair of threes and you launch a pick-three bonus that can reach 500x on a matching-suit pair.
If a live dealer is more your speed, we also run three Football Blackjack tables with the same football-table treatment, though the side bet noted above isn’t featured there.
Touchdown Multidrop
- Provider: Light & Wonder
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.10 / $100 (NJ), $20 (MI)
- Best for: Players who want to shape the board themselves
Touchdown Multidrop is the odd one out, in the best way. It skips the reels entirely and drops a ball down a pyramid of pins into pay buckets worth up to 200x. The best part is that you build the board before you drop. Load up Multiball to spawn as many as nine extra balls, scatter Cash Prize coins across the pins to grab on the way down, or drop in Pushers that nudge your ball toward the fat multipliers. Turn on all three and you are playing a completely different game than before.
Dan Marino Keno
- Provider: Light & Wonder
- Available in: NJ only
- Min/max bet: $0.20 / $20
- Best for: A laid-back game to ride out a slow quarter
Yeah, we have football keno. And, yeah, there is a Dan Marino bobblehead. Dan Marino Keno plays on the classic 1-to-80 grid, and the more of your numbers that hit, the higher your bet gets multiplied. Get deep enough into the pay ladder and you trigger a bonus game on top of the multiplier.
Marino has company in the lobby too, so if the keno grid is not your thing, Dan Marino Gunslinger and Dan Marino Hail Mary carry the same theme onto the reels.
Football Rush
- Provider: Light & Wonder
- Available in: NJ, MI
- Min/max bet: $0.20 (NJ), $0.50 (MI) / $25 (NJ), $50 (MI)
- Best for: A simple push-your-luck climb
Football Rush is the most literal game on the list. You march a tower down the field one block at a time, and the higher you stack it the bigger the payout. 10 blocks drop to start, certain levels hand you extra blocks or cash, and only your highest level reached counts. When you run out, you can buy one, two or three more blocks to keep climbing, but only when there is a bigger win actually in reach worth chasing. It is simple and quick, and it gets weirdly tense once your tower climbs high.
