How Does A Mouse Race Work?Our mouse race night consists of 7 thrilling races!
The Race Format- Races 1-6: These are the preliminary races. The mouse that wins each of these first six races will earn a spot in the final showdown.
- Race 7: The Championship: The six preliminary winners compete in the final championship race at the end of the night! The lane a mouse competes in during the Championship is determined by which preliminary race number it won (e.g., the winner of Race #3 will compete in Lane 3 of the Championship).
Simple BettingPLEASE BRING CASH AND ONLY SMALL BILLS! This will help us make change and keep the line moving!
Betting is easy and fun!
- Place Your Bet: An attendee approaches a betting table and requests at least a $2 bet on any mouse in the upcoming race. (You can only bet on the very next race).
- Betting Slip: Our volunteers will quickly note the amount, the race number, and the mouse chosen on a betting slip, take the cash, and hand the slip to the attendee.
- Winnings: If their mouse is victorious, the attendee brings the original slip back to the table and receives double their placed amount (2:1 odds)!
- Odds Tip: While all preliminary races are 2:1, feel free to increase the odds for the final Championship Race to increase the excitement!
Food & RefreshmentsPlease Note: Food will NOT be provided at the event. We encourage attendees to bring their own food and snacks to enjoy at their table!
