Race Track Live from Evolution

This is Race Track Live, a simulated horse race betting game launched by Evolution in February 2025.

Your task playing Race Track Live is to pick the winner of a six horse race. The race outcomes are entirely computer generated. The only live part of the game is the presenter calling the action.

There are a few of these ‘live’ – but not really live games now, including Playtech’s Busted or Bailed and Evolution’s Stock Market Live.

How to Play Race Track Live

You could be sharp as a watermelon and have the complete gist of this game within minutes.

Each round comprises a six horse race with each horse paying fixed odds for the win (places don’t pay). The horses for each race are selected from the game’s entire stable of 50 runners, comprising a few favourites, a bunch of long-priced outsiders and range of chances in between.

The lineup each round is designed to feature an even mix of runners (strong, average and longer-shots), giving you a nice spread of risk/return bet options.

The races come thick and fast with a frequency of around 2 per minute.

Your task is to pick the winner each round, placing chips on as many of the runners as you wish.

Aiding in your selection during the betting time, is the Tipsters Choice and RTP for All Horses displays, with:

• Tipsters Choice showing the horse that has produced the highest return (RTP) over the previous 50 races.
• All Horses showing the RTP for all horses in the field for the last 100 races.

While Tipsters Choice is framed as a suggestion of the ‘form’ horse in the field, it should arguably be used as a guide to which horse NOT to pick.

Here’s why. The game’s set RTP for all bets is 96%. Horses which have historically outperformed the programmed RTP rate over the last 50 or 100 races, will inevitably revert back toward 96% and are therefore more likely to underperform in future races. How quickly this reversion happens depends on how the random number generator is programmed.

Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) used for these types of games are algorithms designed to produce computer-generated numbers that mimic randomness through long, statistically unpredictable sequences. Despite their apparent randomness, these sequences are deterministic and will inevitably repeat after a finite period. They are not truly random.

In a game like (live) roulette where each outcome is a physically determined, truly random and independent event, historical results have NO impact on future outcomes. I’m not sure that the same applies playing Race Track Live.

One last thing. You’re not playing this game for fancy graphics. The races have a retro video game feel to them.

If you enjoy these kinds of RNG games called by a presenter, be aware that Busted or Bailed and Stock Market Live offer much better RTP rates than this game, both around the 99% mark.
