The venue name in your question does not match any documented property
The reference sources used for this article document 481 casino and gaming venues in total, and none of them appears under the name "Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club." That does not prove the venue does not exist, and it does not prove it has no slot machines. It means this article cannot give you a yes or no answer tied to that specific name, and no honest source can without checking the property's own current licensing and machine inventory.
What this article can do is show you the nearest documented gaming venues to Daytona Beach, explain how slot machine availability is determined at a venue level, and tell you exactly which channel holds the authoritative answer for the place you are asking about.
What the documented record contains for Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach, Florida is documented in the reference sources with coordinates of 29.21083333 latitude and -81.08944444 longitude. The record measures straight-line distances from that point to 318 documented gaming venues. None of those 318 venues carries the name "Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club."
This is not a statement that Daytona Beach has no card club or no racing venue. It is a statement about what this particular reference set documents. The set itself is explicitly not a census of every casino in any city, county, or state. A venue can exist, be licensed, and operate slot machines without appearing in this file.
The nearest documented venues to Daytona Beach
The reference sources document ten gaming venues within roughly 231 straight-line miles of Daytona Beach. Every figure below is a great-circle distance, meaning the shortest path across the surface of the earth, not a road distance. Driving distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage.
| Venue | Documented location | Straight-line distance from Daytona Beach | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Derby Lane | St. Petersburg, Florida | 131.6 miles | Great-circle |
| Emerald Princess Casino | Documented coordinate only | 133.5 miles | Great-circle |
| Palm Beach Kennel Club | West Palm Beach, Florida | 184.4 miles | Great-circle |
| Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee | Documented coordinate only | 194.5 miles | Great-circle |
| Dania Beach venue | Documented coordinate only | 225.8 miles | Great-circle |

| Calder | Documented coordinate only | 229.9 miles | Great-circle |
| Gulfstream | Documented coordinate only | 230.8 miles | Great-circle |
Two entries in the source set — "immokalee" and "seminole immokalee" — share the same coordinates and refer to the same documented property, Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee. The table shows that property once.
Why the nearest documented venue names do not answer your question
Several of the nearest documented venues are racinos or kennel clubs, which are a different category of operation from a card club. Derby Lane is documented as a racino in St. Petersburg. Palm Beach Kennel Club is documented in West Palm Beach. Neither of those is in Daytona Beach, and neither tells you what a venue named "Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club" offers.
A venue's name can also change through sale, rebrand, or redevelopment. The reference sources note that Derby Lane was owned by the Weaver family until 2025. Ownership and branding of casino properties change routinely, which is one more reason a name-based lookup can miss a venue that operates under a slightly different current name.
What determines whether a venue has slot machines
Slot machine availability is not a fixed property of a building. It is a function of the venue's operating category, the jurisdiction's rules for that category, and the specific licence or compact under which the venue operates. A card club, a racino, a commercial casino, and a tribal casino are different categories, and the machine rules differ across them.
In general terms, a venue that operates as a pure card room may offer card games only, while a racino may be permitted to offer a defined class of electronic gaming machines alongside pari-mutuel wagering. A tribal venue operates under a different framework entirely. None of that tells you what a specific venue does today, because the category alone does not determine the machine inventory.
The only authoritative statement of whether a specific venue currently offers slot machines is the venue's own published gaming floor information or the regulator that licenses that venue's machine operation. Machine counts also change as properties rebuild, expand, or renegotiate their operating terms.
What this article cannot tell you
This article cannot tell you whether a venue named "Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club" exists, whether it is open, what its hours are, what games it spreads, or whether it has slot machines. The reference sources used here contain no row for that name, and no venue-specific extras are documented for any single property beyond the fields shown above.
This article also cannot state a total number of casinos or gaming venues in Daytona Beach. The reference set documents 318 venues measured to the city, but that is a count of documented rows, not a census of the city. Different sources count venues differently depending on whether they include card rooms, racinos, tribal properties, or cruise-ship operations, and the count changes as venues open and close.
How to get the authoritative answer
The channel that holds the current answer is the venue's own published gaming floor page or its guest services contact. If the venue operates under a different name, search for the property by address or by its current operating name rather than by the name in your question.
The second channel is the state gaming regulator for the jurisdiction where the venue sits. Regulators publish lists of licensed facilities and the machine authorities attached to each licence. This article does not name a specific regulator or assert any venue's licensing status, because no such fact is documented in the reference sources used here.
What to confirm before you go
If you are planning a trip around this question, confirm the following items through the venue's own published channels before you travel: whether the venue currently operates under the name you have, what category of gaming licence it holds, whether slot machines or electronic gaming machines are part of its current floor, and what the current hours and entry requirements are.
Name changes, machine floor changes, and operating status changes are all common enough that any answer older than the venue's own current publication should be treated as provisional. A venue that had no machines under a previous owner or licence category may have them now, and the reverse is also true.
FAQ
Does Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club have slot machines?
The reference sources used for this article document no venue under that exact name, so no documented answer to the slot machine question exists here. The nearest documented venues are over 130 straight-line miles away. To get a current answer, check the venue's own published gaming floor information or the state regulator's licensed facility list for the jurisdiction where the venue operates.
What is the nearest documented gaming venue to Daytona Beach?
Derby Lane in St. Petersburg, Florida is documented at 131.6 straight-line miles from Daytona Beach. Emerald Princess Casino is documented at 133.5 straight-line miles. Both figures are great-circle distances, not road distances. Driving distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times.
Why do different sources give different answers about whether a venue has slots?
Slot machine availability depends on the venue's licence category, the jurisdiction's rules, and the venue's current operating terms. A card club, a racino, and a tribal casino are different categories with different machine rules. Venues also change names, owners, and machine inventories over time, so a source that reflects an older operating period can conflict with a current one.
