ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a dice game having a horse-racing theme which includes a number of horses in the race the number of which corresponds to the number of sides of a single die. In play, preferably 3 dice are used. When a number representing a horse is rolled by any of the dice used, that horse is moved a distance referred to as a "furlong." If the horse's number appears on more than one die in a single roll, then the horse is moved a comparable number of furlongs. For example, if 3 dice are used and the numbers 6-6-2 are rolled, the number 2 horse moves 1 furlong, while the number 6 horse moves 2 furlongs. Thus, each horse begins a race with equal odds of winning, and each horse must go the same distance in order to complete the race. The present invention provides for standard horse racing wagers on the eventual outcome of the race, such as win, place, and show. The present invention further provides for a series of wagers, referred to as "betting-in-running," which can be placed on the outcome of each roll of the dice.
