His new bet is entered in the | |usual way and the last wager is counted as void. Placing a bet is prompted on screen by | |"honest Clive", while pressing key 9 ends the gambling and starts the race In this way a | |player need not bet on a race, as pressing key nine begins the race even is no one has | |gambled. | | | |The final stretch of the race is in slow motion & after a horse has reached the winning post| |there is a photo for places. The horse coming in second receives a quarter of his quoted | |odds. | | | |The "pence" option and gambling options 3 & 4 are to allow a member of the family to | |become "honest Clive"'s partner and make an actual book on which the family can gamble | |for pennies. | | | |We wish you a good days racing | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
