Developer’s Description

By Gordon's Freeware
Watch a simple horse race with betting.
These two horse races are based on an old mechanical game, where model horses were moved along a canvass track by causing the canvass to vibrate. Although the graphics here are quite simple, it can cause amusement at some parties, due to the betting. Bets can either be set by the odds chosen at random subject to a limit set A second option is for the stake unit to be set, then after the punters select a horse, ALL the stake money is paid out to the winners in proportion to the number betting on the winner. Any small amount remaining is shown. Four backgrounds are shown, and wait a second for each race to start.
