A loop track for racing objects is disposed at the center of a race game
device, for example for a simulated horse race. A plurality of racing
objects, such as race horses, run on the track. The X- and Y-directional
positions of the race horses are detected by a separable position
detecting means underlying the track. The separable position detecting
means allows for easier maintenance, transport, assembly, and disassembly
of the device. Information regarding the positions of the horses is
displayed on a game screen. Players can write memos to themselves on
individual game screens by pressing a trace over the game information on
the game screen. A control unit provides game information corresponding
to other races other than a current race, including future races, and
players may select information corresponding to future races on the
individual game screen.
