First gambling game of its kind and the first game ever to incorporate a laser disc.
The cabinet houses two monitors. The top one shows the race and the bottom one is where you place bets and see the results. The game is also available in a twoplayer upright pianostyle version and a single monitor version.
Game is currently available in several conversion kits.
