Run for the Roses fills the bill!
- GATHER the gang and compete on who can
build the biggest bankroll - FINE TUNE your handicapping system
- LEARN how to place a variety of wagers
- or, just ENJOY the RACES!
Run for the Roses simulates the experience of a day at the track. Whether you enjoy picking your winners by name or color - or you prefer to use the in-game racing form information to carefully calculate your horse's odds, Run for the Roses fills the bill.
Each of the 300 unique horses has a realtime racing history that drives her odds and behaviors on the track. And each race is a unique experience - never to be repeated!
Realtime information is collected during each race. After the race, each horse's racing history is updated to create as realistic a racing experience as possible. What you see during today's races will be reflected in the next raceday's racing form data.
Players start with a bankroll that can be set based on the player’s relative skill to other players. With that bankroll the player may place a variety of wagers, including Win, Place and Show, Exactas and Trifectas. Wheel and Key wagers are also available.
