Golden Derby Game Tutorial

This horse race game allows you to place multiple bets for every race. In every race there are 8 different horses that all have their own color and jockey. You can check for every horse its power, velocity and endurance, and how it performed in previous races. In the starting screen you will see 4 different tabs:

  • BET: here you can place your bets. For a more extensive explanation on the bets please see Golden Derby Bets below in this text.
  • BET SLIP: all bets you have made can be found on the bet slip. If you want to remove a bet, just click the white cross in the red circle behind the bet. If you want to erase all bets, you click Remove All at the bottom of the slip.

  • HISTORY: here you can view your betting history and the results from previous races. When you click the DETAILS button, you will see the individual bets of a race.

Progressive Jackpot

Golden Derby has a progressive jackpot. This is a jackpot that grows every time a player makes a bet. This goes on until the jackpot is won. When the jackpot has been won, it will start again with a minimum amount, so the jackpot will never be at zero, and you will thus always win a nice amount. The jackpot value can be found in the top right of the screen. However, this has a delay of 30 seconds. The amount you will win is the jackpot amount that is registered on the casino server at the moment of winning the jackpot.
At the start of the race you will get a Jackpot number that will be visible during the race on the right side of the screen. It goes from top to bottom. When all 8 horses finish in the order you have predicted in the jackpot list, you will win the entire jackpot. When you have correctly predicted 6 horses, you will win 10% of the jackpot.
