Odds are calculated based on the number of bets per elk; Elk #1 might pay 2/1 ($2 for every $1 bet); Elk #4 might pay 10/1 ($10 for every $1 bet)
Dice are rolled to move the elks progressively along the spots on their lane
The First Elk to cross the finish line is the winner, and all who bet on this elk are paid out based on the odds
