The goal
Have the most money after four races.
How it plays
- 1One player (or the official app) is the House, rolling the dice to run the race and not betting. Everyone else has a set of betting tokens of different values.
- 2The race runs in real time: the House keeps rolling two dice, and the horse matching their total moves. A horse rolled twice in a row gets bonus movement.
- 3While the race runs, everyone places tokens on the betting board whenever they like: a horse to win, place or show, or one of the special bets. Each space holds one token, first come first served.
- 4When the third horse crosses the red line, or as soon as any horse finishes, the House calls "No more bets!". Hands off, and the House rolls the race out.
- 5Pay out: a winning space pays the token's value times the space's multiplier, and some spaces cost you money if they lose. After each of the first three races everyone gains a VIP Club card with a power for the races to come.
How you win
After four races, the most money wins.
First time?
- Seven is the likeliest roll, so the middle horses run fastest and pay least.
- Hold your highest token for the bet you're sure of.
