_______________________
The standard game flow is divided into the following four steps:
Prepare - Bet - Contest - Payout
1.Preparation
Use 21 fictitious horse racing cards to prepare before the race. Shuffle the horse racing cards randomly and open them one by one. Arrange the horse racing cards behind the starting line according to the order of opening, one horse in each grid. This is the starting position of the horse for the round.
2. Bet
Then each player takes turns betting on horse racing with the chips in his hand. Each player has two numbers 1 and one number 2.
If the horse race you bet on can enter the top three, the player will get a bonus.
3. Competition
Players take turns in clockwise order, roll the dice first, and then choose a horse to move forward.
The number of squares moved is equal to the number corresponding to the symbol of the die roll on the horse racing card. After the movement of the horse racing card, it is turned over. These horse racing cards cannot be moved again until all the horse racing cards have moved once, then all the horse racing cards are turned over. Only then can they be selected to move again, and so on. When three horses circle the field and cross the starting line, the game ends. The players who bet on the top three horses will pay out, while the players who bet on the last place will also pay a penalty.
4. Payout
Check the payout table in the middle of the field. The bonus amount is obtained by intersecting the ranking of the horse race with the sum of the numbers bet by the players. Players who bet on the number 1 will get one share, and those who bet on the number 2 can get two shares. The player who bets on the last place will also have to pay a penalty based on the number bet.
Then proceed to the second round of competition, put the horse racing cards used in the first round back into the box and no longer use them, and then proceed to the third round of competition.
Therefore, all horse racing cards will be used, and the player with the most money in the end is the winner.
The game also provides a variety of gameplay variants. In addition to using another set of real famous horses to compete, there is also "intrigue".
Playing methods such as "Keeping pace" and "Changing course" can also be freely combined between these variations. Players can customize the rules of the game according to their own preferences.
