Electronic Pig Racing
What is Pig Racing?
The pig racing involves 6 battery operated pigs on a race track. At the start of each race, 6 pigs are picked at random. These are numbered and then raced against each other. The races last between 1-2 minutes each. People on the night can bet on each pig, and if you win your bet, you win some money!
There are 8 races per evening with an optional 9th Auction Race
How does the betting work?
Bets are usually in 50p units. You bet on a pig, if that pig comes first, then you win the bet. The betting is arranged by our very own ‘Piggy Banker’ who will sort and arrange very competitive odds on each winning pig, together with an obligation to raise sufficient funds for your respective cause.
How does the sponsorship work?
Prior to your evening you will need to ‘sell’ the pigs to prospective owners and jockeys. You can charge as much or as little as you like. Each ‘owner’ and ‘jockey’ on the night will be in with a chance of winning a prize should their pig win a race. The choice of prize is up to you. This is a guaranteed way of raising a decent amount of money for your cause. Another option is to get individual races or, even, the whole event sponsored.
A list of pigs will be sent out in the post at the point of booking.
Yes you heard it right, Pig racing. This is a great fun activity with a unique style. It can be run as a stand-alone event or as part of a Fun Casino with a difference. For Corporate Events teams or individuals are encouraged to gamble with fun money trying to amass as much as possible to win a prize. The fun money can incorporate a company logo if required. Pig Racing is also very popular as a fund raising activity for various clubs
Race nights
This fact sheet covers some of the usual questions asked about race nights. It is not a definitive description of all the rules and regulations that apply to race nights. Reference should be made to the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 for precise details of the law.
Definition of a race night
Race nights are events in which participants stake money on the outcome of recorded races and where the selection is totally dependent on chance and where no 'odds' or 'form' are available to assist the selection.
Proceeds go to purposes of the organisation or a charitable purpose but are not for private gain or commercial purposes.
How to run a Race night
It is usual to run a race night as an amusement with prizes under section 15 of the Lotteries and Amusement Act 1976.
The race night must not be the sole attraction and must be part of an exempt entertainment such as a bazaar, sales of work, fete, dinner dance, sporting events or similar gatherings.
There are certain conditions set out in section 15, which must be observed when promoting and conducting a race night as an 'amusement with prizes at an exempt entertainment'. These are listed below.
The race night must not be the only, or only substantial, inducements to persons to attend the entertainment.
The whole proceeds of the entertainment, after deducting the expenses of the entertainment, must be devoted to purposes other than private gain
The hire of any machinery to run the race night can be defrayed from the proceeds but not if it is made in some way dependent upon the extent to which the equipment is used. For instance profit sharing arrangements between equipment manufactures, hirers and promoters would not be allowed.
Registration requirements
There are no registration requirements.
