Be Careful of Go-Kart Racing

If you bet on go-kart right after betting on springfield downs, a message saying "another race is going on" or something like that will pop up. Even after springfield downs finishes, you will be unable to bet on go-kart since it is on an 8 hour cooldown.


I don’t think this happened quite as you described in my game, at least to the best of my recollection. Yes, you see a pop-up informing you that both races cannot be simultaneously run. But I didn’t see any evidence that attempting to do so reset the timer for a race. In my case, I (a) ran the Go-Kart race and, while it was still in progress, (b) tried and failed to run a race at Springfield Downs. Once the Go-Kart race had concluded, I immediately ran a race at Springfield Downs.

    Interesting. I got the same message, but I placed a bet on the go karts first. It all worked out okay.
  • I can't run them at the same time. But as soon as one ends i can start the other.

    Mine are very close together so it's the least bit irritating to wait, but with the pop up dialog it's understandable.

    I don't win both frequently though. Kinda more irritating

    This is incorrect. Perhaps your game glitched?

    If you get the message you just have to wait for the other to fully complete (and tap to close the win/lose box) and then you can start the race.

    The kinda weird thing is that you get the message after selecting the car/dog. Why didn't they have the message appear when you tap on the (ready) racetrack?

    It's true, you can't run both races at the same time..

    But I have absolutely no problem in running dog and then cars in quick succession..
  • Must have been a glitch for me then.. I was unable to bet on go-kart even after downs had finished.

    Must have been because I didn't have a problem doing it.
  • I bet on one then the other every time they come up, every 8 hours, and have not had a problem with it. Yet. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on it.
