Race Track Live is a departure from traditional live casino games, featuring a blend of RNG mechanics with a “live” twist.
Essentially, Race Track is a live game where you bet on six horses or dinosaurs competing in a race. You are offered a choice of two skins: Horses or Dinosaurs, which adds another element of fun to the game. It’s also heavily nostalgic, drawing from the mechanical gambling games once found in arcades or on piers.
The gameplay, however, is based on RNG, which means the outcome is determined by a computer, not actual physical races. In that sense, little to no action in the game is live in this game, but the host announcing results is a real person at least.
This offers simplicity but limits the excitement that some players may expect from a live dealer game. While it’s an easy-to-understand game, it’s important to note that there’s little strategy involved, and the outcome is more a game of chance than one based on skill. So, adjust your expectations accordingly.
How to Play Race Track Live
Race Track Live is split into two phases: Betting and the Race itself. Just like Marble Race, although the two games have very different races.
Betting Phase
Before each race begins, players have a short window of a dozen of seconds to place their bets on the six horses or dinosaurs. The runners (horses and dinos) are divided into three categories based on their chances of winning:
- Strong Runners: Odds range from 1:1 to 3:1.
- Average Runners: Odds range from 4:1 to 15:1.
- Outsiders: Odds range from 17:1 to 89:1.
The most likely to win are the strong runners, while outsiders are the wild cards. That is not to say that they cannot win, they are just rarely the winners.
You can place bets on one, several, or all of the runners, giving you the flexibility to cover multiple outcomes.
Tipster Mode
You can also toggle between two Tipster modes during the betting phase. The “All Horses” mode shows the performance stats of each runner from the previous 100 races, while the “Tipster’s Choice” mode highlights the horse or dinosaur that has historically performed better. This mode is very fun, especially for beginners.
Race Phase
Once all bets are placed, the race begins. The runners jostle for position, and the first to cross the finish line wins the race. Since the game uses RNG, there is no human interaction with the race itself, and everything is decided by the computer. After the race, winnings are paid out based on the selected bets. It is very straightforward, with little to no bonus or side features to spice up the game.
Betting Options and Payouts
Race Track Live offers a variety of betting options, each with different payouts:
- Strong Runners: 1:1 to 3:1 payouts.
- Average Runners: 4:1 to 15:1 payouts.
- Outsiders: 17:1 to 89:1 payouts.
You can place different bets on each runner, and the payouts reflect their respective chances of winning. The game has an RTP of 96%, and while there are some statistics to help guide your decisions, they don’t guarantee a winner as the outcome is determined by RNG.
