A city well-known for its passion for horse racing and advanced technology, it will come as no surprise that Dubai now has horse races in the Metaverse.
Dubai Verse Cup (a play-to-earn Metaverse-based horse racing platform) has joined forces with Dubai Racing Club — which organises the huge races at Meydan — to create the new game.
The Metaverse-based horse racing platform will allow game players to ride around the famous Meydan Racecourse track on the back of their chosen horse.
“The collaboration will enable us to further develop our play-to-earn gaming model,” explains Vincent Isik, CEO of Dubai Verse Cup (DVCC).
“Users will gain rewards in the form of $DVCC tokens, based on their racing and breeding performance.
“Players can exchange tokens for horses, perks, skins, and avatars, making the game a thriving marketplace and competition space at the heart of the Meydan Racecourse.”
So, trained jockey or not, you will be able to ride around Meydan Racecourse track during the horse races in the Metaverse using your smartphone or AR/VR devices.
