Straight Fire 6 ready to ignite

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (July 15, 2020) – Indiana Grand is adding a new gimmick to its wagering platform. The Straight Fire 6, a jackpot Pick 6 wager, will be offered, and to help initiate the wager, a unique world record will ignite the bet in Race 2 Monday, July 20.

“We are always looking for ways to promote our racing product and thought it would be fun to kickstart our Straight Fire 6 with a $100 guaranteed pool, which will be the lowest in the world,” laughed Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing. “With all the serious issues going on right now, we wanted to add some humor into the launch of our Straight Fire 6. We had an employee contest to name the wager and the $100 guaranteed pool gives us the distinction of setting another record – the lowest guaranteed pool of all-time!”

The Straight Fire 6 will join a list of similar wagers across the United States offering a jackpot format. The wager needs one unique ticket to take the “jackpot” or the entire pool. If there are multiple tickets with all six winners, then 50 percent of the pool will be paid out and the remaining 50 percent goes into the carryover. The Straight Fire 6 is offered daily beginning in Race 2 and extending through Race 7.
