Lototurf Review
Lototurf is an equestrian betting game where an individual chooses his bets on a playslip and waits for the outcome of a horse race in order to determine whether he has won or not. It is a unique kind of a lottery game because the player doesn’t have control over the outcome of the race, but can go back to historical performance of the various horses and use that to project the likely outcome.
How to Play Lototurf
Playing Lototurf is quite easy, just like the other lotto games. The first step is to visit a participating outlet for you to select your numbers. If you are not quite sure of the nearest outlet from where you are, you can visit the official Loterias y Apuestas del Estado website and through the Google Map locate the nearest outlet.
There are three steps to play Lototurf: Fill In, Organize, and Bet.
Fill In
This involves visiting the participating outlet so that you can choose your numbers. When you get to the outlet, you will be given a playslip that has 1 to 31 numbers. Out of those numbers, you are supposed to choose only 6. There are different options when filling in your playslip. The first option is whether to choose using a manual system or the random automated system.
For people who are beginners in Lototurf and do not have an experience in horse racing or do not understand the terminologies thrown about in the game, they can choose the random system where the terminal picks your 6 winning numbers for you.
On the other hand, you can decide to do the picking yourself. Here you choose your preferred 6 numbers from the range of 1 to 31. Your choice could be based on past performance or simply on what you think concerning the upcoming horse race.
Apart from the manual and automated number pick up, there is single and multiple bets. In single bets, you mark 6 numbers in the first matrix (number matrix) and one horse in the second matrix (horses’ matrix). If you want to enter single bets only, one ticket can accommodate a maximum of 6 single bets.
In the multiple bets, you can have more than 6 forecasts within the first matrix and in the second matrix you can have more than one forecast. For you to play a multiple number of bets on a single ticket, you have to check your forecasts in the first matrix. The forecasts are from 6,7,8,9 to 10. You are supposed to only choose one of the forecasts. In the second matrix, you can choose 1,2,3 or 4 horse forecasts. This will form the first block of your ticket. The cost per bet is 1 Euro. When you play multiple bets, the combinations will show you how many bets you are entered for and you simply the number of bets by the price of each bet.
The summary of your ticket will show your block selection in terms of numbers and the horse, the type of bet whether single or multiple, the amount you have to pay for the ticket, and the draw day which is simply the horse racing day.
Organize
At this stage of play, you can choose to subscribe to the bet you have just made in the fill in stage. Subscribing means the system will automatically repeat the betting for you. The repeat can be for a specified number of times which you indicate or indefinitely. Also at this stage, you can add your selections to your favorite which you can easily pick from when you are doing your next betting.
Betting
This is the last stage of the process. If you do not have an account, you first need to open one using your identification number. You will need to input your full name, your date of birth, in the exact order as you may be barred from participating. Once your account is fully registered, you can now fully participate. There are several ways you can deposit money for your bet amongst them Visa, Mastercard, and Traspaso Rapido.
Horse Race Program
The horse race program is usually published showing the horses that are taking part, the day of the week, then time, the venue, the distance to be covered, and the amount to be distributed. This is important for you to know as a player. The results of any horse race are always on the website and you can confirm after the event.
In the event the program does not kick off within 24 hours from the scheduled time, then the winning combination for Lototurf will be determined through a draw where balls of the same size, material, weight, and number are drawn just like in any other lottery game.
Lototurf Prize Breakdown
There are seven prize categories in this game. 30% of the revenue is usually allocated to these prizes while the rest goes to charitable causes.
The first category prize usually goes to the players who have successfully matched the winning combination of the 6 numbers in addition to the winning horse number.
- The second prize category only requires the player to correctly predict the 6 winning numbers from the first matrix.
- The third category requires players to predict 5 out of the 6 winning numbers in the first matrix and the number of the winning horse.
- In the fourth category, you only need to predict 5 out of the 6 winning numbers from the first matrix.
- In the fifth category, you are required to successfully predict 4 out of the 6 numbers drawn from the first matrix as well as the number of the horse winner.
- The sixth prize category requires that you predict 4 out of the 6 winning numbers only.
- The seventh category award goes to the player who predicts 3 out of the 6 winning numbers as well as the number of the winning horse.
Remember your ticket is the only valid document you can claim your prize against. It is your responsibility to ensure that it is completed correctly in terms of time and the bet placed.
After the draw or race, the validated bets will be scrutinized and assigned the corresponding prizes according to the winning number of combination and horses. The central computer systems then generate a file showing the awards per category. From here, the report is then sent to the Superior Board of Control which further checks the awards before the final payment.
The prizes will be paid in the various points of sale from the first working day after the contest. The person claiming the prize must present himself with the ticket and identification document.
Lototurf players are also subject to responsible gaming rules where no minor is meant to be registered for any contest. Also, there is a limit to the amount that you can bet or deposit in your online account. The daily limit is 600 Euros, the weekly amount is 1,500 Euros, and the monthly limit is 3,000 Euros.
