Overview

Longshot Downs, developed and published by Carrollton Interactive, is a casual simulation that drops you into the world of simulcast betting parlors. Released on October 29, 2026, this game is built around the authentic atmosphere of watching live horse racing broadcasts—complete with odds that drift in real time and multiple tracks running simultaneously.

It's a fully offline, single-player experience with no microtransactions or server check-ins, so you can enjoy the thrill of the tote board at your own pace.

Highlights

  • Live Multi-Track Simulcast: Nine original tracks, each with its own layout, lighting, and mood—from tight bullring sprints to sweeping mile-and-a-quarter ovals.
  • Real-Time Odds and Countdowns: Odds shift live on the board, and each track has its own independent post-time countdown. Miss the window, and the race goes off without you—just like the real thing.
  • Offline and Self-Contained: No internet connection required, no microtransactions, and no server check-ins. It's a pure, self-contained experience.
