How to Play
How to Play Greyville Downs

Greyville Downs is a very simple horse racing game, which allows up to four players to bet on horses in a series of races.

When Greyville Downs is started, you will cycle through the following screens:

Setting the number of races

Entering player names

Placing bets

Watching the race

Race Results


The first screen displayed will ask how many races you would like to bet on for this round.  Simply select a number between 1 and 20.  (Dont worry...you can play more than one round of races!)  You can either type a number into the field, or use the up and down arrow buttons to increase and decrease the number, respectively.  When you have selected the number of races, select the OK button.


After you have selected how many races to bet on, you will be prompted to enter the names of those who will place bets.  There are four players available, and you can leave some to Computer if fewer than four players will be betting.  When you have entered all the names, select the OK button


Before each race, the betting screen will be displayed so all players can place their bets for their favorite horse.  The horse names, colors, and odds are shown at the bottom of the screen.  At the top of the screen is each players name, balance, and wager for the current race.  Simply enter an amount to wager in the field, or use the up and down arrow buttons to increase or decrease the amount of your bet, respectively.  When all players have placed their bets, select the OK button.


Watching the race is the fun part!  After a few seconds, the race will begin.  The four horses will make their way to the finish line, as the Greyville Downs blimp slowly cruises above the stands!  In the bottom right corner of the screen are the current results, which shows the current position of each horse.  Win indicates first place, Place second, Show third, and Lose, well, you can figure that one out.  When a horse has won, its name will be announced.


After each race, the race results are shown, indicating which position the horse came in.  Each player is also listed, with the winnings for that race, and their current balance.  Players are still allowed to place bets if they have a negative balance.  However, it would be advised you leave the track quickly and quietly if you are unable to bring yourself back to at least break-even!!!

In the unregistered version, winnings are only paid out if the player bet on the winning horse, with their winnings calculated as the wager multiplied by the odds for the horse.  Be sure to register for more advanced wagering!
