Wine Society Horse Racing

HOW TO PLAY

Place your bet by writing your name, the number of tickets you're betting, and the horse's lane number. You can tab through the text boxes. Hit enter to submit. Races start automatically every five minutes, or you can quick start with the GO button. 

Everyone who bet on the winning horse splits 70% of the pot. Everyone who bet on the second place horse splits 30% of the pot. Winnings are proportional to how many tickets you bet.

When the race is done, you can scroll through the list of winners. Once winnings are redistributed, you can hit the restart button to start a new race. 

CONTEXT

This is a horse race betting simulator created for the McGill Wine Society's casino night event. The target audience is drunk twenty-something year olds who can exchange their winnings for wine. It was so much fun to run lol, honestly new core memory unlocked. Everyone got so invested. 

Most of the art and animations were done by my friend Graham who came up with the idea for his event. We had a lot of fun making it. This is exactly the type of nonsense I want to be doing in my gap year. And fair warning, this is not a PG game. It's edgy and gory and ridiculous. Enjoy!
