How to play Jockey Grand Prix on Mac
Game summary
This game was released around 2001 and is basically a horse race betting game. Bets are placed just prior to the start of the race, different horses have different odds, and then the race begins. Some rather impressive Motion Capture graphics were used for the animation of the horses. After the race is over the winning horse is declared in a slow motion photo finish and the winning bets are paid. Again, the game can be set to "pay out" to either an installed coin hopper, or through a "credit" re-imbursement system set-up by the location or the operator. The Jockey Grandprix cartridge came complete with a harness cable and settings explanation sheet for just that purpose.
First released: Feb 2014
Play Jockey Grand Prix on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Jockey Grand Prix on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Jockey Grand Prix installation steps for Mac
