Ready Set Bet review

Ready Set Bet is a fun and engaging horse racing game that brings the excitement of the track to your table. It’s easy to learn, with simple rules that even casual gamers can grasp quickly. The core gameplay involves betting on horses, which race in real-time. The app helps with this, but the game is still fun to play with a designated person rolling the dice for the horses. The game gets quite exciting as the race unfolds and you’re encouraged to cheer on your favorite steed (and hope you picked a winner!). The game is ideal for larger groups, with a recommended player count of 4 or more. However, it can also be played with just two players, though it loses some of its charm with fewer people. The game components are of good quality, and the design is visually appealing.

I found myself particularly drawn to the strategic betting aspect, as you can choose to bet on a single horse or spread your bets across multiple horses. The inclusion of VIP Club Cards adds an extra layer of depth to the gameplay, allowing you to make more strategic choices and increase your chances of winning.

While the game is fun, I did find it a bit challenging to learn at first. But after a few rounds, the gameplay became intuitive. If you're looking for a quick and easy-to-learn game that's guaranteed to get your group talking, this is definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you have enough people to really bring the excitement of the racetrack to life!
