Hard Rock Casino is the title of several gambling video games released between 2003 and 2007, and based on the Hard Rock Cafe brand. The first Hard Rock Casino game, developed by MumboJumbo and published by Jamdat Mobile for Microsoft Windows, was released in the United States in 2003.[4] The game was subsequently published by MacPlay for Macintosh in the United States, in January 2004.[5] Later in 2004, Jamdat Mobile developed and published a version for mobile phones in the United States.[6][7]

In July 2005, Crave Entertainment announced an agreement with Hard Rock International to create Hard Rock Casino video games.[8] FarSight Studios developed Hard Rock Casino for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), and Crave Entertainment published the game in the United States on November 28, 2006.[9] FarSight Studios also developed a version for the PlayStation Portable (PSP),[10] which Crave Entertainment released in April 2007, in North America.[11] In Europe, the PlayStation versions were published by Oxygen Games during the same month.[12] The PlayStation versions of Hard Rock Casino received generally negative reviews, according to Metacritic.

The computer versions of Hard Rock Casino include blackjack, craps, keno, and poker.[4][5] The mobile version starts the player off with $5,000, and includes three casino games: blackjack, poker, and a slot machine.[13][6][7]

The PlayStation versions feature four casinos and 22 casino games,[9][14] including slot machines, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, pai gow, Let It Ride and Casino War.[15] The player is given body type and clothing options to create a customized player character.[9][14] The game includes a story mode in which the player tries to win enough money to gamble at high roller casinos. To progress through the story mode, the player must play and win the various gambling games to advance from one casino to the next casino.[16][17][18][15] The PSP version includes a wireless multiplayer option.[14][19]
