Gone To The Dogs Gone To The Dogs is a multi player game in which players bet on the outcome of greyhound races.

There are two ways to play this game, 'normal game' mode and 'race night' mode.
In the normal mode each player signs in and starts with the same amount of cash, They then bet on the outcome of a race meeting which is usually nine races but this is customisable.
Players can bet in one of two ways, they can bet on the race winner or they can bet on first & second. Bets do not have to be in fixed amounts such as multiples of £5, they can be any size the player can afford. When all bets have been placed the race is run. A full video of the race with commentary is shown on screen after which the results are shown together with who won / lost.
The winner at the end of the game is the player with the most money.

The 'Race Night' mode assumes that the game is being played to a room full of people and that the event organiser is managing the betting. In this mode selected races are shown as & when required.

The game has over 90 races all with full race commentary and live video together with form, recent race history, on the runners in each race. [source:mobygames]
