Fortune Cup Horse Racing Strategy
Unlike the 1980’s horse racing game, Sigma Derby, Fortune Cup has a track announcer and a giant video screen so passers-by can hear and see the action on the track if the seats are occupied. The new horse racing game allows players to place bets on touchscreen stations that offer race statistics, horse odds, mystery progressive jackpots.
Konami’s Fortune Cup may be the greatest game to grace a casino floor. Despite its abysmal odds, it thrills stallions and spectators alike with intense action and nail-biting finishes. Fanboys like myself have clamored for something more than the decrepit and sluggish Sigma Derby machines barely hanging on for life. More diverse, exciting options are now at a casino near you. And with this game, as Konami states, “players experience the thrill of a day at the races, on the industry’s most advanced multi-station horse racing game.” Damn right.

Eight horses canter around a green oval, but unlike Sigma Derby, which offered quinella-only betting, in Fortune Cup you can wager on one horse to win or place, whereby you can finish second and still win. Fortune Cup also offers quinella betting, from which you can make a staggering number (28) of wagers. And with this game, as Konami states, “players experience the thrill of a day at the races, on the industry’s most advanced multi-station horse racing game.” Damn right.

Fortune Cup Horse Racing Strategy
The Racing TV cameras will be at Kempton Park on Wednesday and top tipster Dave Nevison has three selections.
5.45 Kempton: Moohareeba
It is hardly surprising that John Gosden is using his crack apprentice to take 7lb off this filly, who is set to carry 10st 4lb.
Benoit de la Sayette is no doubt the most talked about apprentice in the weighing room and looks an exceptional talent, who I am sure will be used in much bigger handicaps than this during the summer.
Moohareeba has run into two strong talents of Roger Varian’s on her latest starts and despite the weight has an easier task here. She is extremely well bred and a win is an imperative.
The step up slightly in trip looks sure to suit to judge by her pedigree.
6.20 Kempton: Capriolette
It is a while since this filly won, but she is back on the mark she won off and in a very tight handicap her turn might have arrived.
Last time out she was well beaten by a back-to-form Gavi De Gavi but that race went well for the winner and Capriolette endured a poor run through and should have been closer.
The cheekpieces equipped last time are persevered with and they certainly weren’t a negative and hopefully might improve her further this time.A good pace would be ideal but her trainer is in excellent form and a decent run looks assured.
8.20 Kempton: Cinzento
At this basement level a winning attitude is often the deciding factor and I was seriously impressed with Cinzento’s battling qualities when I saw him at Chelmsford recently.
The race was fought out by three co-favourites and, after being headed, Cinzento fought back to win well.
He has won two out of his four recent starts - both 0-50 Classified events – and, although in a handicap here and off a 3lb higher mark, he is in good form and I believe will be suited by the slight step up in trip.
