It's no difference worth troubling oneself about, and both convey the same idea, naturally. However, the word order in the first sentence sounds more natural to me, which is really why I suggested that one. (I should've just said that, right?)

The first sentence puts emphasis on time, while the second the activity of playing. So the difference lies with how much time you have to play.
