Derby Owners Club is free to play, and always will be. Winner's Circle is how the community chips in to keep the cabinets online for everyone.
The servers that keep DOC online and playable in your browser cost real money every month. This isn't a business and it isn't for sale, it's a preservation effort. Every dollar goes straight to keeping the game alive and online.
If the community can sustain the machines, we keep the lights on together. If we can't, we wind down gracefully rather than lock the game behind a paywall. Nobody is ever priced out of playing.
Donation link coming soon.
100% to the machines: the streaming cabinet boxes and the lobby/database that connect you. No salaries, no profit. As community hosting comes online, the goal drops, because we need fewer rented boxes.
Plan any pairing and see the exact foal the game would produce, on the real ROM-decoded breeding formula.
Generate that foal as a real, game-legal card straight into your stable. Name it, load it, race it.
Share your best horses and breed from the whole community's bloodlines, not just the ROM roster.
A star by your name and a 200-horse stable (free Stable holds 25).
These are a thank-you, not a wall. The full game, your stable, and saving are free for everyone.
