# Horse racing

A set amount of horses participate in each race. **Every horse owner can participate in a hippodrome race**

**The races are based on RNG technology**, therefore some randomness is expected in the race outcome. The speed, stamina and reaction time parameters also play a big role - it influences the win but does not guarantee it.

**Each speed parameter point gives a chance to win diluted by the total amount of participants’ speed sum**. The RNG algorithm is widely used in video games, statistical sampling, computer simulation, cryptography, etc.

The player selects the race to participate in from the upcoming races section. Players can filter upcoming races by date, game rules, hosting hippodrome.

The player confirms a participation in-game fee. After the race, the winner is announced. After the race, the horse racing cool-down begins.
