East Rutherford, NJ — Enrollment is now open for Meadowlands Racetrack’s Summer Survival Challenge, a free online wagering game featuring real cash prizes.

The game begins Friday, June 3 and concludes Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 6. The winner is determined by the highest total bankroll at the end of the Challenge based on a $2 “across the board” wager [win, place and show] on selections for three designated races each program. To continue in the game, entrants have to “survive” by finishing in-the-money [first through third] with at least one of their selections each day.

Maximum odds have been introduced to the game rules this summer. The maximum payouts are $102 (50-1) win, $50 place and $25 show.

The grand prize for the Summer Survival Challenge is $2,000. Second-place prize is $1,000, while third-place prize is $500. There is also a bonus award of $500 for Most Number of Winners.

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada, and all selections must be made through the Survival Challenge web site (www.survival-challenge.com). No selections will be accepted by phone, fax, e-mail or any other means. Past performances for the three designated races are provided through the game board. The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before first race post time.
