Combo Sports You Could Soon Be Seeing

Completely new sports are fairly few and far between these days, with just about every concept involving a ball, track, or anything else already out there in the world. Much like the invention of brunch, however, people around the world have learned that smashing together two ideas to make a new one can have surprisingly great results. Combination sports, or combo sports for short, are the product of taking two established games and somehow meshing them together into a new experience. Some are obvious, but a few are starting to get a bit more creative!

Polocrosse

Horse-based sports are some of the oldest in the world and have featured in plenty of unusual combinations over the years. We’ve seen periods of art history where mounted sports statues were in vogue, and there has always been a place in the casino and betting world for them. To this day, you can find new horse and slot combinations like the Big Horsey Fortunes game or even racing and bingo combinations such as Slingo Racing.

The one universal about every representation is how elite horse sports can feel, and so the combination with another elite sport like lacrosse. If you’re at all familiar with the two sports, the combination looks fairly straightforward from the outside, although the official rules list for championships is an extensive one.

Bicycle Jousting

Sticking with the mounted sports theme, we now go back an extra few hundred years for our next sport. Jousting dates back as far as the 11th Century in Europe, although it’s fair to say it dropped out of fashion for around half a millennium. Originally used to train knights ready for battle, it was an often brutal activity thanks to that and as such, it was effectively gone by the 17th Century.
