Horse Racing

A race-track betting game for up to nine players, each starting with $500, over five races. Odds are recalculated from the money wagered before each race, so the favourite always pays less. Track conditions change and each one gives a particular horse an advantage, the way long shots can win on a slippery track. The richest player after the fifth race wins.

Controls: Left and right change a number, up and down change an amount by 100, and fire accepts.
