# Inside Track

**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.

## 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:

```lua
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.

## Where to configure Inside Track

Main config file:

* `rcore_casino/configs/insidetrack.lua`
* table: `HorseGamingRooms`

Important sections to tune:

* Main Event timing/limits (`MainEvent*`)
* Local race timing/limits (`LocalRace*`)
* Odds ranges (`MainEventHorseOdds`, `LocalRaceHorseOdds`)
* Cooldowns (`MainEventCooldown`, `LocalRaceCooldown`)
* Big screen setup (`BigScreen*`)
* Chair list (`ComputerChairs`)
