Tote Fantasy, a horse racing game where players build their best stable to try and win real money with a bet, was launched by the Tote on Thursday. Every day players will have 10,000 'gns' to pick one horse in each of the seven selected races, usually based around ITV Racing for a total outlay of £7 per day. Their equine team members will score points according to where they finish in their race. Players then have to make sure they balance their budget, choose which favourites to be with or against, and use their two 'boosts' wisely to maximise points. The overall leading points scorer on the day scoops the jackpot, but you only need to finish in the top 25% of players to make a profit.
Head of Fantasy at the Tote, Jamie Benson, explained, “This is a first for British racing, with Tote Fantasy not only offering punters an interest for the whole day for a small outlay [£7], but also connecting the viewer with the sport in a more direct way. We hope this will bring a new and younger audience to British racing.”
