5.1 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.

 

5.2 Staff in new uniform

Staff at OCB branches and racecourses will put on new uniforms in the new season. Designed by famous local designer Margaret Ha, the uniform will use navy blue as the theme colour. The stylish tailored suits in navy blue and shirts in light blue create a professional image for the staff. Designs of the uniform also vary with different post, for customers' easy identification.
