Dog Race – 3D Greyhound Racing HTML5 Game

Dog Race is a 3D greyhound racing game with play-money betting that runs in the browser, on desktop and mobile. Read the race program, pick your chips, bet on one or more of six dogs and watch the race from a single, continuous camera flight, from the starting boxes to the photo finish.

Just unzip and play

The race

12 dogs with their own coats, builds and attributes (speed, stamina and start). Each race draws six of them.
Fair simulated odds: before each race the game simulates hundreds of races with the same code, so payouts reflect each dog’s real chance. Payouts range from 1.9x to 13x by default.
Races that change: daily form, surprise bursts, lane changes, slipstream, fatigue and the occasional stumble.
Photo finish: in a close race, the action goes into slow motion and the game takes a picture at the exact moment the first nose touches the line.
Directed camera: one smooth flight for the whole race, opening wide as the dogs pass the live scoreboard.

A living track

Dust clouds, flying sand, starting box gates, a mechanical lure and confetti at the finish.
A crowd in the grandstand that reacts to the race, with recorded cheering that fades and muffles as the camera moves away.
After each race, two handlers walk the dogs back on leashes while the starting boxes come down.
Dogs scratch and lick themselves while they wait.
Two original music tracks, generated by code: one for betting and one for the race.
