The goal

Have the most money after four races.

How it plays

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
