THE GAME
There are 7 races in a meeting and you must try to win as mych 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 iinstance 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 vounted as void. PLaving a bet is promted on screen by "honest Clive" what 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 id no one has gambled.
The final stretch of the race is in slow motion and after a horse has reached the winning post there is a photo for places. The horse coming in second recieves a quarter of his quoted odds.
The "pence" option and gambling options 3 & 4 are to allowed a member of the family to become "honest Clive's" partner and make an actual book on which the family can gamble for pennnies.

We wish you a good days racing.
