In an attempt to increase revenue and offer "something special outside of the usual business reach", Arima Race Club will introduce parimutuel sports betting and Post Time Poker for the first time, in two parts starting from Tuesday.
AmTote International, a supplier of software and hardware for the pari-mutuel wagering industry will provide its services through the Arima Race Club both via the club's television networks and at the headquarters in Santa Rosa.
In June, Post Time Poker, a wagering system in which players bet against each other as opposed to the house will be introduced, when the club is also expected to launch its third television channel on Flow Trinidad.
These attractions were revealed at a media conference held at Hyatt Regency Trinidad, Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain, where details of the additional attractions were explained by Arima Race Club chief executive officer Christopher Armond, as well as representatives of ISI Maritime, Soccer 6 and Post Time Poker.
Betting will be available for cricket (T20), tennis, formula 1, basketball, tennis. The football betting games Soccer 1, 4, 6 and 10 are all currently facilitated by Web site, Soccer6.com.
Soccer 1 allows users to bet on the outcome of a single match. in Soccer 4, users must predict the results of the four matches from six options in a pool.
In each match, one team is designated Team A and the other, Team B. Soccer 6 is similar to Soccer 4, but players must predict the results of the six matches, by means of a win, draw or loss.
South Africa's Premier Soccer League and the English Premiership form the core of Soccer 6 pools, but matches from the French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish leagues, UEFA Champions League and international competitions, are also utilised.
