ROYAL TURF

Seven horses are racing on royal turf. They are moved by roll of a die, which shows 3x a horse head and three other symbols. At the beginning of a race players place their bets with single and double value. Then the race begins, players roll the die and move a horse accordingly – the correlations are given in a table – a horse can only be moved a second time, when all horses have been moved once. If a horse passes square #25, “spurt” chips are placed. If one horse passes the finish line, the race ends immediately, betting chips are turned over and bets are paid out. Quotas are determined by placement of the horse and the number of players that have betted on the horse. After three races the player with the most money wins.
