The dates and pools are from the Hollywoodbets page. When we added up the twelve listed pools, they came to R2,900,000, not the R3 million in the headline. The page does not explain the gap, so check the amount shown on the race graphic in the game before each race.
What changed from October
- There are 12 race nights, down from 14 in October.
- The single biggest night is R400,000 on Wednesday 25 November. The last three race nights of the month carry R300,000 to R400,000 each.
- The opening night, Wednesday 4 November, has already been run at R300,000.
How a race pays
The jackpot triggers at a random time between 20:30 and 22:30 and is guaranteed to drop before the end. The player whose qualifying spin lands first after the trigger takes the top prize, the next player the second prize, and so on. Wins go to your Hollywoodbets balance and can be withdrawn. Fun Play and Bonus Play do not count, and you need funds in your balance to stay in the race, the terms say.
What it means for you
There is no time to aim for and no spin pattern that improves your chance; the trigger is random. A bigger pool spreads across more positions, but it does not change the odds of any one spin. Pick your nights, set a budget for each and stop at 22:30 whether you win or not. Our Jackpot Race guide explains the race phases in full. 18+ only; help is free on 0800 006 008.
