HHR MACHINES Historical Horse Racing games are a competitive substitute for traditional games. The major difference that sets HHR apart from traditional games is the results of these games are not random. HHR is a true pari-mutuel wagering system that is delivered to the customer in an entertaining video experience. The definition of pari-mutuel is. Slot machines may share a progressive jackpot that is awarded randomly to one player and one player only at a time. Each slot machine connected to the progressive network contributes a small part of each bet played to the jackpot. Some slot machines have “local” progressive jackpots which are not shared with other machines. Like Bingo Machines, but Using Horse Racing Similar to how Bingo machines effectively allow you to see a slot machine-style outcome but you’re really playing Bingo, Historic Horse Racing machines let you bet on the outcome of horse races, just like you could at any Off Track Betting parlor or horse racing facility.
