HORSE RACES – Random – FREE FOR ALL

FREE FOR ALL 

This game will switch every couple months! 

Equipment:

  • Deck of cards 
  • Coins

Rules:

  • This game is a coin minigame which means you will be betting your own coins! Max bet is 10 coins. If you win, you get the coins you bet from the bank. If you lose, the coins you bet go to the bank.
  • Set up 4 cards face up. Each one with a different suit on it (the number does not matter).
  • Then place 8 cards face down, in a line. (Shown below)
  • Have each player make a bet on what suit they think will win the race! Max bet is 10 coins. Have them place their bet in front of them.
  • Once all bets are made. One of the players will grab the deck and flip over the top card. What ever suit comes up, that card in the line will move up one spot (shown below). 
  • Keep flipping cards and moving up the corresponding suit until one card gets to the finish line (last card).

 

The photo below is how the game should be set up.

 

In the example below, the 3 of diamonds was the first card to get flipped from the deck. That means the diamonds card moves up. 

 

Now that the diamonds are 1 spot ahead, the next card gets flipped which happens to be a spade in this example. Now the spades move up a space.

 

Continue this until one suit card gets past the last card (8th face down card). That suit wins! The player(s) that bet on that suit wins their coins!
