The game may start in the minds of players as "just a bit of fun" but usually turns into serious sport. Cabaret Casino have selected and developed equipment to ensure the game is as fair as possible. A fact greatly appreciated by players who put their heart and sole into the competition.

How is a fair game achieved? The scoring system and rules are a big factor but the design of the track is also important.

Our 6-lane competition tracks are specially built to club racing specifications. Free from car de-railing bumps and intermittent power supply faults common with popular makes of track. Sharp bends can be very frustrating for novice drivers as the cars will leave the track easily. Our tracks have gentle turns even on the inside of an eight-lane circuit. Only specially built tracks can offer this. Figure eight design permits equal lane length.

Players will enjoy competition controllers featuring smooth braking and acceleration. Cabaret Casino have a team of skilled staff to run this event. A Race Director equipped with P.A. radio microphone and the computerized scoring system can make sure the players get the most out of the event. We have a number of formats to suit the situation; structured games, informal parties or team building.

What do Cabaret Casino staff do?

Setting-up time is usually under 1hr, although an extra 1hr is generally advisable for contingency. Packing away takes about 40min. Equipment will fit in a lift so events can be held on any floor. If flights of stairs are unavoidable prior notice is appreciated. Extra staff are sometimes necessary to carry the equipment.

Great track, cars and computerised scoring is just the start. There is a very important job to make the event run well. I call the job "Race Director"

This is the job brief: Referee the game, using the public address system and radio microphone to address the crowd with race commentary, jokes etc. Organise the structure of the game using the computerised scoring. Make sure the rules are clear and policed.

How do we organise the event?

The Race Director uses experience and a structured competition to get the most from the event.

The exact running details will depend on many things. Size of group, age of group, other entertainment or distractions running at the same time in the same area. A simple game format is best if distractions are many, or a more challenging match if the concentration of players can be expected.

With a plan and the computerised scoring the Race Director is ready to make the most of the event.

How long does the event last?

If slot-racing is the only entertainment, a group of 20-40 will play enthusiastically for 1-2 hours. A game plan giving individuals 8 qualifying heats, followed by the top 8 drivers going through to a final set of 8 heats works well. This is one of the many game styles our bespoke computerised scoring greatly simplifies. The race director will choose the best option on the day.

Contractually we normally quote for up to three hours of game play. We are always happy to quote for extended running time.
