It looks like Coushatta has removed their Titan 360 and replaced it with Royal Derby from Alfastreet. This looks similar to Sigma Derby in Vegas...pictures on the Coushatta Facebook page.

Yes, it's gone. The Titan 360 started off being fairly popular but over time the popularity fell off. It seemed to be busy all weekend, but few players during the week. It did hit a ton of jackpots, but strangely that didn't seem to increase the popularity. My belief is that too much of the payback was put into the bonus. People who either didn't get into the bonus (or did, but didn't hit anything worthwhile) got crushed on the base game. I played it at Seneca Niagara and I burned through $150 fast and didn't get into the bonus...

So, we now have the Royal Derby game. It is incredibly cool. It has lots of neat little touches that make it fun like the announcer and the lighting. People love to watch the horses run! There are only 6 of these in the United States as of now. 2 in CT, 2 in NJ, 1 in CA, and ours. It is a lot simpler to play than I thought it would be, although the "Pro" screen could be a little intimidating, especially if you've never bet on horses. (You can select "Basic", "Advanced" and "Pro", with Pro giving you all the available bets) Whether or not it is successful long term remains to be determined, but I'm hoping it develops a following.

Sounds like my type of game. I liked playing Sigma Derby over the years, as well as the camel derby at Luxor.

Saw this in Resorts in AC and it looked very cool ... although I couldn't figure out what to do/how to bet.

That is freaking awesome - does the pro have a .50 cent Pick 4 or $2 Pick 6 option? Am kidding, uh kind of lol - but are there exotics and are there set odds? Is it like instant racing at Oaklawn? Guess I need to come down to Evangeline and Coushatta lol...

Warren, I think your assessment of Titan is spot on. I never got more than the lowest amount the few times I got the wheel to spin and always lost. I hated!

I saw the Royal Derby at Foxwoods, but didn't take the time to sit down and figure it out. I will give it a whirl this weekend and report back.

You can bet $1 minimum and up to $500 max on the board. The odds continually change and you can track the different horses. I'll try to attach a picture of the betting screen. The instant racing machines try to be slot machines based on prior run races, but this is pure horse racing game using a random number generator. 2863

Wow, thanks for the info and the picture! Very interesting, random number generated, but gives odds - can see myself sitting there all night long chasing that 1&3&5 3 Quinella trying to get the alleged 208x odds HHH... Let us know how it does, think would be loads of fun for a group, can imagine all kinds of cheering and screaming lol...

I have never seen that game before. I miss the horse racing game fantasy springs used to have years ago that was set up like roulette with a big video screen in the middle. My locals need to get this game. Only a couple of casinos in southern california (not close) have the video blackjack as well. We need more of these type of games where people play together rather than just all slots.

Do you know when more casinos are going to get this game? and I agree that the titan 360 is losing popularity due to horrible base game pay. When the base game is not paying and when the wheel is not triggering, you are in trouble and can lose money really quick like Warren mentioned. It is only fun when both is paying and when I can hop the bank when no one is really on to find one that is paying, which is not easy or fun to do. I like being able to sit down, stay on a while, and play without a lot of dead spins and nothing happening. I used to play Titan all the time. I spend more time playing other stuff now and I go back and forth on titan every now and then spending only a tiny amount of time on it if nothing is happening. Also the base game payouts on titan are less than games unattached to it. If you are playing 90 cents on regular china shores and hit all red flags, you get 900 bucks. If you play a dollar in titan 360 china shores and get all red flags, you get 600 bucks. Max bet on titan 5 bucks gives you 3,000. Max bet on regular china shores 3 bucks gives you 3,000.

You know what would be more fun with titan? If there were more prize options on the wheel so the wheel can trigger more often like adding a 5 dollar prize here and there in some of the pockets instead of just 10s and 20s (1 cent) or 20s and 40s (2 cent). For a 2 cent machine, it could be 5, 10, 20, and 40 on the wheel along with the green and red pockets. For 1 cent machine it could be 5, 10, 15, 20. Then the wheel can trigger more often and people can have a lot more fun instead of just a quiet titan and dead spin after dead spin.

Nope I am not disappointed. This new game sounds so much more fun than titan 360. I wish my locals would get this game in. I wonder if any casinos in Vegas has this? fantasy springs used to have a horse racing game that was set up like roulette in a circle with a video screen in the middle and bets were kind of like the pictures posted in here, but it was taken out by my next trip a year later and have not been there since. I don't like the slot selection there. I only go to that casino when there is a good concert I want to go see. I had so much fun playing it that first trip to fantasy springs and spent all my time on that game and winning.

I don't know when more of these will be installed. I'm actually surprised that there isn't one in Vegas and would expect to see at least a couple. It is a bit of a risk though. It takes up A LOT of space on the floor and if you are not familiar at all with horse racing the betting board can look a little intimidating. I've already spent quite a bit of time standing by the game showing people how to play the basic bets. We'll see how it goes. I'm rooting for it as it is very cool. It's been a lot of fun just watching people's reactions as they see it for the first time.

They have already have a new version with boats instead of horses. The entire center area is filled with water!

Yes, but an updated version. The old Sigma games had the horses on pegs, so the inside horse was always on the inside. This one uses magnets so horses can cut in front of each other.

Also, if you touch the top of the screen where it lists the horses, all of their stats will show up. How many races total, etc...

Noticed that right away in the video . Very cool . Also like that it offers at random differing lengths of races . ill have to read up on some horse race jargon to learn about the special bets like the trifecta ,Quinella and so on .

As a horse player, this looks like fun. However, the way they list the exacta odds horizontally would mess me up.

08-11-2016, 02:10 AM
Now see, since I'm left-handed and dyslexic the horizontal layout actually works for me, am serious HHH, but what I can't wrap my mind around is the RNG payout vs. traditional parimutuel wagering. And I also keep forgetting Coushatta has a race book so not sure how much BR would devote to this if ever got lucky enough to visit but sure looks entertaining - guess we're counting on charlie50 to give us a complete review with his trip report!

Is it parimutuel at all or just RNG dependent?

I would think that because its still a slot machine it would have to be RNG dependent.

Does that mean what horse you pick does not matter if it is all RNG?

Warren

Does that mean what horse you pick does not matter if it is all RNG?

Well, yes and no. There are different payoffs/odds for each bet on each horse. For new players who are unfamiliar with horse racing, I recommend placing a minimum bet ($1) on a horse to Show. If that chosen horse comes in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, you will win. (There are only 6 horses racing). Each Show bet on each horse had different odds. Typically the "long shot" would pay $3 to $4 while the favorite would pay $1.15-$1.50 (on your $1 bet) From observation more often than not the favorite wins, but not always. If you take a look at the picture on page 2 of this thread you can see the payoffs for that particular race.
