Win, Place & Show

Win, Place & Show is a game of horse racing. The players take the part of owners, jockeys and gamblers and attempt to make the most money over a series of six races.

At the start of each race the players bid on the horses in the race to see which horse will represent them. The horses each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some will be good early in the race but fade at the end while others are weak starters but good finishers.

After the horses are selected the players can place bets on the outcome of the race. Bets can be placed on horses to win, place or show (come in first, second or third). Players can also place daily double bets in which they bet on the outcome of two races. The odds are higher but so are the payoffs.

Once the players have made bets, they maneuver their horses through the race. How well a horse does in the race depends on the skill of the jockey, as well as the ability of the horse and a little bit of luck. There are rules in place to catch players who deliberately throw the race in order to improve the chances of winning their bets.

There are a total of six races in the day at the tracks. The player who has the most money after all six races are completed is the winner.
