The goal is to have the most money at the end of the game.

Every player gets $100 in game money to start the game. Players are each assigned one of 12 horses. A dice roll determines how much the players' bets will be.

The odds for the race are also determined with a dice roll. The distance of the race is determined by spinning a spinner. All 12 horses run the race (regardless of how many bettors there are).

Horses are moved by rolling dice to determine which horse is going to move. Money is paid out based on the odds and which horse won the race.

The game repeats for 8 races.
