Horse Racing

Horse Racing in Hoyle Casino

The electronic horse racing machine in Hoyle Casino is like a slot or video poker

machine, only you are betting on mechanical horses racing around a track.You insert

your money in the machine and place a bet on a horse. If your horse “comes in,” you’re

paid off according to the odds for the horse for that race.

 

You have three basic betting choices in Horse Racing: win, place, or show. Win simply

means that you are betting that your horse will come in first.You will see the longest

odds and the biggest payouts for win bets.

 

Place means that you are betting that your horse will come in either first or second.

The odds are slightly better than for win bets.

 

Show means that you are betting that your horse will come in either first, second, or

third. The odds tend to be much better for show bets. How much you get paid for your

bet depends on the odds for that horse to win, place, or show.

 

Understanding the Odds

The odds on a horse tell you how much money you get back for the amount you bet. If

a horse’s odds are 10-1 to win, and he wins, you get $10 for each $1 you bet. So if

you bet the minimum $2 bet, you’d win $20.

When a horse sports odds like 2-1 or 3-2, he’s a favorite.You won’t win as much on

this horse, but you can bet he’s likely to show up in one of the front spots! When a

horse has odds like 17-1 or 23-1, he’s a long shot. This horse is a risky bet, but pays

off big!

 

Strategies for Winning at Horse Racing

odds favorable to the house. Play it for fun, and pick however you want, the odds will

all be roughly the same.
