THE GAME

There are 7 races in a meeting all over hurdles and you must try to win as much as 
possible from “honest Clive Spectrum” the bookmaker as you can. Up to five players 
can play at a time and they can bet on whatever horse they wish. For instance, all 
five players betting on horse 1 is allowable.

If a player changes his mind while gambling is still taking place, he can change his 
wager even though his original bet is registered with “honest Clive”. His new bet is 
entered in the usual way and the last wager is counted as void. Placing a bet is 
prompted on screen by “honest Clive” while pressing key 9 ends the gambling and 
starts the race. In this way a player need not bet on a race, as pressing key nine 
begins the race even if no one has gambled.

The final stretch of the race is slow motion and after a horse has reached the winning 
post there is a photo for places. The horse coming in second receives a quarter of his 
quoted odds.

The “pence” option and gambling options 3 & 4 are to allow a member of the family to 
become “honest Clive’s” partner and make an actual book on which the family can gamble 
for pennies. Loading time approximately 3 1/2 minutes.

We wish you a good days racing.
