Play Horse Racing for Free

Going to the races is always a fun day out, but this time there’s an extra bit of spice to the proceedings as you bid to win cash on the reels.

The theme of this slot is horse racing and of course, that sits perfectly with betting for cash!

You can immerse yourself totally in the fun of watching the horses blast round the track, while playing for your own prizes on the reels.

The developer, iSoftBet, has chosen a very elegant British Racing Green for the design of the board; this colour works very well with the sophistication of the equine set. The reels take up nearly the whole screen but if you peer around to the background you’ll be able to see the lush green grass of the holding paddock and of the track itself.

On the board, the symbols offer a number of different horse related images, from jockeys in action to celebrations and getting weighed on the scales. A number of equine accessories are also visible too include horse shoes, trophies, jockey helmets and the viewing essential, a pair of binoculars!

Any regular punter will tell you that you’ll need to study the horse’s form as well as get a good look at its shape before the race if you want to have any chance of winning. So take a tip from the best and go and view the paytable before you even think about laying down a bet.

The paytable will show you the prizes that you could win which can be useful in deciding how much you want to bet. There’s no point betting vast sums if you’re only going to get a small return!

To win a prize in Horse Racing you’ll need to match identical symbols along an active payline. You’ll only need to match two to get a prize but if you manage to land more of the same symbols on the same line, your prize will be even higher.

A scatter symbol can help you boost your winnings; if you land them anywhere on the board during play you’ll receive a multiplier. How much you get depends on how many scatters you land, but there’s potentially up to x25 on offer.

Other than the scatter, all of the other symbols are read from left to right.

Once you’ve finished browsing through the background, return to the reels and take your place at the reels as the horses are placed under starter’s orders.

But just in the nick of time don’t forget to set your betting preferences as you won’t want to end up blowing your entire budget on just one spin.

There’s the standard 5 reels with 5 paylines; these aren’t fixed so you can choose to reduce them down to the minimum of one if you prefer using the plus and minus keys on the main screen.

You’ll also need to set the value of the coin which starts at just 0.01 and how many coins to bet per line. Changing these factors helps to increase and decrease the amount of the stake so that both high and low betters can enjoy the game.

There’s no progressive jackpot and in general, this game is fairly low on features but there is one extra bonus round where you could win a prize.

Going to the races without betting on a horse to win would be a travesty, so if you unlock the bonus game by spinning the special symbols, that’s exactly what you’ll be doing. Pick the horse you want to win and urge it over the finish line to win the top prize!

Horse Racing by iSoftBet mimics the fun of being at the track and choosing the horse to back on each race. However, although it’s an entertaining idea the graphics are rather colourless and flat and the game lacks features. Nevertheless there are some highlights including the special bonus so fans of horse racing in particular might want to give this a whirl.
