Is this horse races?
Yes.

How exactly does it work?
In a nutshell, I've come up with an algorithm to simulate the Win and Place results of a horse race from a cryptographically secure random source. The algorithm is fully explained in the on-site help page. The short explanation is, each horse gets a relative rating, and the odds of each pairing of Win and Place gets a relative probability based on the ratings of those horses.

Yes, this is horse races! I've addressed your second question in the OP.

Played one test race and animation is very good.

A couple day-one updates:

★ Responsive design fixes; the site is more fluid across all platforms
★ Horse odds are now displayed as odds as well as percentages
★ Help tab added to make the game information easier to find

So from what I could see it is basically a virtual horse race. And I guess every horse is 'generated' randomly at the start of the race.
It is little different that real horse racing, because in real life you can see history of each horse and predict some favorites, here it is impossible...

You can predict a favorite by looking at the win odds. Keep in mind that this is only a starting version. I'm sure LuckyBit will come up with great things to improve this game.

You nailed it. If you have an idea, I'm open to suggestions; this is why it's called a "Community Project".

I just played this game it doesn't require extra permission for login if we already enabled micro there, animations are cool and nice, multi ticket system and variety of bet option is plus point for this virtual horse racing game, good luck luckybit team.

My suggestion is to put bigger button to click at the luckybit micro and a notice at luckybitmicro that there is a new game. I accidentally click a button in luckybitmicro that lead me to this game. Another suggestion is to make the graphic bigger, the game is taking only 2/3 of my screen and I think you can make the horse track bigger or oval shape like a real horse track

Excellent suggestions! A few updates have been put in place:

★ The notice on LuckyBit Micro is more noticeable now
★ Odds show the correct number (they were off by one)
★ The "Fair" tab is automatically displayed when the race begins
★ Wager adjust buttons for easy play on a touch-screen device
★ Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the first race's hash to not be displayed
★ Fixed a rounding issue that would bet one satoshi less than what you entered

Fooled around with the game,  made a small profit.

It may just be my personal preference here but I didn't like the fact that you could tell the winner of the race at the start of it, the horses never deviated from their starting positions so there was no suspense, you could instantly tell if you won or lost...perhaps that could be changed somehow.  


Aside from that its a really neat game and I liked all the different betting options, about time MoneyPot apps were something besides dice and "plinko"

Maybe you were really lucky because my horses have lost pretty often (even though being the favorite). In my last race the favorite horse (30% win chance) came in second to last

Really? I win like 9/10 of my game there betting for the favourite to win. I dont choose win for the horse but choose place to get more chances to win and it is working so far

Hey sting can you add auto end race. After the race is end and I want to purchase a new ticket, I need to click the end race button. I think it is better to make it automatic instead of manual click it again every time race end

i just tried this, just can buy 1 horse? why cant buy 2 or 3 horse in 1 bet?

Sure, this goes along with the "bigger track" suggestion. Thanks!

It's like that so you have the opportunity to view the Roster after the race is over. Once you click Next Race, the names of those horses are gone from the history and only the numbers remain.

Try selecting a ticket type that requires two horses, such as a Box ticket. You can't pick three because my algorithm doesn't simulate the entire race, only the first two results. You can also buy multiple tickets against the same race.
