MetaDerby Set to Expand Gameplay with Exciting New Mini-Game Launch
The upcoming new mini-game is a horse prediction game where at least 5 MetaDerby players get to bet on 4 different horses while engaging in interactive gameplay where players can affect the outcome of each race by speeding up and slowing down horses.
The MetaDerby team is planning to soon launch a new mini-game to its free-to-play horse racing blockchain title in an effort to provide more interactive gameplay for new and existing players to enjoy.
The new type of mini-game is a horse prediction game where at least 5 players bet on 4 different horses that get randomly selected from a pool of 10. Players can head to the View Schedule section in order to see when a race will start while choosing which one they’d like to jump into. New races appear every 10 minutes, and if there aren’t enough players within 10 seconds of starting the race, then the race will be abandoned. The type of track the race takes place on, as well as the distance of the track can be viewed before the start of each race.
Before you decide to bet on a horse, you can also choose to see the stats and racing history of each horse in order to better make an educated guess, with the stats details page displaying not only the winning ratio and number of races won and lost, but also the energy, speed and intelligence of the horse.
Betting takes place using 4 different chips that come in quantities of 5, 10, 20 and 50, with the game showing the total amount bet on every horse. The winning bet walks away with all of the chips bet on other horses, divided by the “ratio of the player’s bet over the total bets placed on [the winning horse].” The developers get 10% from every win.
Betting is not the only part of this mini-game though. During a race, players can affect the speed of each horse by selecting a horse and pressing on the Faster and Slower buttons in order to speed up or slow down a horse.
The full details on this upcoming mini-game are available in this Medium post. No official release date for it is available at the time of writing.
