Live
Broadcasting of Races in OCB branches |
Starting this new season, customers at Off
Course Betting (OCB) branches will see and feel the excitement
of all races as thousands of racegoers at the racecourses do.
TV facilities will be installed at 80
Jockey Club's OCB branches, bringing customers live racing
scenes, odds, dividends, as well as the latest betting and
racing information. TV footage of trackwork performance,
information on racing and betting, upcoming racing events
and Club's services will also be announced on TV during
non-racing days. Such facilities will be installed throughout
most of the OCB branches during the season.
The installation of TV sets depends on
the physical environment and design of different OCB branches,
with TV screen size varies from 25 inches to 61 inches.

navy blue as the theme colour. The stylish tailored suits
in navy blue and shirts in light blue create a professional
