Inside Track

General guide to Inside Track horse betting (non-editor)

Inside Track is a virtual horse-racing betting game inside the casino.

Players place bets on horses, watch the race result, and win chips if their horse finishes first.

What game is it?

Inside Track is a betting mini-game with two race modes:

• Single Event (Local Race): a quick race for an individual terminal/chair.

• Main Event: a shared race for players in the same Inside Track room.

Both modes use horse odds and bet amount to calculate potential winnings.

How to play

1. Sit at an Inside Track terminal/chair.

2. Choose race mode:

   • Local/Single Event, or

   • Main Event.

3. Pick a horse.

4. Enter bet amount (or use horse ticket bonus if supported).

5. Confirm ticket before betting timer ends.

6. Watch race result.

7. If your horse wins, collect the payout.

Bet types

Type	Description	Typical use
Single Event	Per-chair local race with fast repeat rounds.	Solo/quick betting sessions
Main Event	Shared room race with pre-race countdown and common winner board.	Group play / social betting

Horse odds

Horse odds are multipliers that affect potential winnings.

• Lower odds (example: 2) = lower payout, usually safer pick.

• Higher odds (example: 15 or 30) = higher payout, usually riskier pick.

Odds ranges are configured per mode in HorseGamingRooms:

• MainEventHorseOdds

• LocalRaceHorseOdds

How winning money is calculated

Payout logic uses the horse odds multiplier:

winnings = bet * horse_odds

Example A:

• Bet: 500

• Odds: 6

• Winnings: 500 * 6 = 3000

Example B:

• Bet: 1000

• Odds: 15

• Winnings: 15000

If the selected horse does not win, the bet is lost.
