Horses Racing (also known as 1991 Du Ma Racing) is a short and simple horse-
racing game for the Famicom. It has two modes; one lets you actually race
against a single opponent, and the other mode lets you bet on races without
actually participating in them. It is a simple concept with very little
complexity involved, so there is no learning curve despite what you may
otherwise think of the sport. Nonetheless, if you are in the mood for
something a bit different, check this one out.

==========
Game Modes
==========

When you begin, you can pick from two different modes. They are:

Race Mode: Participate in a regular race against the computer or another
          human player.

Gamble Mode: Place bets for 6 computer players and watch the races to see
            who wins/loses.

Gameplay
========

Race Mode
---------

In this mode, it is a race between two horses around the track. You can see
the progress around the track at the bottom of the screen. There are also
meters with a red ball moving up and down, and two lines signifying the
center area. If you press A when the ball is in the middle, your horse's
meter will fill up slightly. If there is anything in your meter, you can
press B to gain a speed boost (the more it is filled, the bigger the boost,
obviously). The horse that makes it around the track first wins.


Gamble Mode
-----------

When you start off, you can pick the order of the six men who will be betting
(this does not have an effect on anything really). After the horses are
shown, you set the betting amounts for each person individually. Each man
starts with 500 points, and there are three types of bets you can make. Use
Left/Right to set an amount, then press A to go to the Pace card on the
right. The numbers correspond to the five horses, so bet accordingly. After
you pick a horse for your bet, you go to the next bet type. The three types
of bets are as follows:

Win: You bet on the horse that will win the race. If the horse is not in
    first place, you don't win anything. The payout is 3x (win 3 points for
    every 1 you bet).

Place: You bet on the two horses that will come in first and second places,
      not necessarily in order. You can bet on one or two horses here, but
      the horse MUST be in first or second place at the end of the race to
      win this bet, otherwise you get nothing. The payout is 1.5x (win 1.5
      points for every 1 you bet).

Quinella: You bet on the two horses that will come in first and second
         places, not necessarily in order. Both horses you bet on must be in
         first or second place at the end of the race to win this bet,
         otherwise you get nothing. The payout is 5x (win 5 points for every
         1 you bet).

Once everyone has placed their bets, the race will begin (you have no control
over this one). After the race, everyone will win/lose points depending on
the results and how each person bet. The game then repeats, presumably until
everyone goes bankrupt.
