First, all the marbles are placed on the board behind the start line. Marbles will be moving to the right or counter clockwise during play. Two dice are rolled to determine the odds for each marble racer from the inside track to the outside track. For instance, if on the roll for marble racer number one a 5 and a 2 are rolled then the odds for that racer is 7 to 1.

The house starts with $1,000,000 (Million Dollars) and each player starts with $100,000 each to place bets on the racers. (This starting amount can be changed).

Each racer is worth $1,000 a race (again this amount can be changed or even randomly set by the roll of the dice) Example, if a player loses on a racer, they lose a thousand bucks! But if they win on a racer they get paid whatever the odds are on that racer: Example, if the racer has odds of 5 to 1 then they win $5,000. A player can place bets on more than one racer at a time.

The dice are rolled for each racer until one racer crosses the finish line. One designated player can roll all the dice for the game or each player can take turns.

The end of the game comes when someone loses all their cash or when a set number of races are run as determined by the players before the start of the game.

With this game you have the option to even make up your own rules, maybe you have some good ideas for how to set up betting for this game.
