9. VIP Animal Race

Animal Race is a fun game for one person, with an element of luck - sure to
put a smile on your face.  Five different animals race against one another
and you have the chance to test your expertise at picking the winner.


How To Play Animal Race

1. Load the CHIP-8 interpretor at 0000-01FF
   and the game starting at 0200.

2. Turn RUN switch on.

3. Wait until the animals are lined up and read to start, then select an animal
   by pressing a letter A through E.  A mark will appear to the left of the
   animal to remind you of the one you have selected.

4. Decide how much you want to bet (up to a limit of $9), then press that key.

5. After the race is over, press zero (or any key) to start the next race.
   Your winnings or losses will be computed and the new total displayed at
   the begining of the next race.

Hints for expert players
All animals move at approximately the same speed, but they start from different
positions.  The odds for each animal are related to the starting position but
include a random element.  Some races favor the player and you should bet up to
the limit on these.  Some races are unfavorable and you should bet carefully
on these.

You can win the game by accumulating $256 or more.
