Horse Races

A character unable to bet in horse races due to gambling being illegal.

The horse races is the seventh choice of the activities section. The admission fee is 10 of any currency. Once you click the choice to pay for the fee, the player is charged instantly. You will also enter this section if the player says yes to joining their friends to here. In some countries, gambling is illegal so if your character is from one of those countries, selecting "Horse Races" will give a pop-up "Seriously? There are no horse races, in (country) because gambling is illegal." and the character will not be allowed to bet in horse races unless they emigrate to a country that allows it. If a character is trying for the Highroller ribbon, emigrating to a country that bans gambling will not disqualify you from winning that ribbon. Notifications can hint at which horses are best to bet on during a particular race, but they can be wrong.

## Watching

In the section, you can just watch the races. It is not worth it to watch, because the player will have to pay a fee for it (watching does not increase any of the player's stats). It's basically paying 10 pounds/dollars to watch a race, which is really not worth spending.

## Betting

In this section, the player gets to choose one out of five different horses, and the money they want to bet in the drop-down menus (Each option increases its bet money depending on the bank balance of the player) and on iOS, by sliding the amount the player wants to bet. The results are randomised each race and is more luck-based than the Casino. After that, the player can watch the race. The color the name of the picked horse is highlighted in is the player's chosen horse on the screen. All the horses will leave behind a trail of their color in the screen. There is a chance for one of the horses to fall over. If the player's horse does this, the player is guaranteed to lose. During the end, the player can see what place their horse came in right beside the horse's name. If the horse falls over, it will say DNF, standing for 'Did Not Finish' beside its name. On the bottom of the screen shown, the player can see which horse they bet on and how much money was bet. In the end, it will say *You won!* or *You lost!* depending on if they came first or any other place before first. The player may only get cash if the horse they bet on came in first. If they lost, the money bet will be deducted from the player's bank balance. If they won, they would get 5 times as much as the money they bet. In the character's journal, it will say "I won (money amount) at the horse races by betting on (horse name)!" if they win. "(winning horse name) won the race. I lost (money amount) betting on a losing horse!"
