Abstract

A game and method for playing a game is provided. The game includes a field of play depicting a race track or course divided into spaces for the movement of tokens from start to finish. The game involves dice or another random data generator that produces data corresponding to the tokens, with each token advancing one space forward with each production of the item of data to which it corresponds. The possible outcomes of the game have varying probabilities of occurring. These probabilities depend on the different preferences and handicaps that are placed on the occurrence of the possible outcomes relative to each other. Players can select possible outcomes and can make a wager on the occurrence of their selected outcomes. Payouts are made on selections that actually occur based on their probabilities and any probability modifications made by the Sponsor.
