Stables Expands into North America by Integrating Equibase's Real-World Racehorses

Stables, a Web3 fantasy horse racing game built on the Tezos blockchain, has announced its expansion into North America by forming an alliance with Equibase.

Stables, a Web3 fantasy horse racing game built on the Tezos blockchain, has announced its expansion into North America with an alliance with Equibase.

The partnership grants Stables the rights to integrate thousands of racehorses from North American horse racing circuits into its virtual gaming environment, a move set to amplify the game’s realism and appeal.

The collaboration also marks a significant milestone for Stables as it merges real-world equine data with its blockchain-based fantasy sports ecosystem.

Stables has brought U.S.-based racehorses into its digital platform, enabling players to build and manage their own virtual stables, participate in simulated races, and engage with strategic elements to enhance the gaming experience.

This initiative follows Stables’ evolution from being a part of Pari Mutuel Urbain’s (PMU) diversification efforts to becoming an independent entity in 2023.

“We are thrilled to be integrating Equibase’s vast database of racehorses into the Stables universe,” said Sebastien Monod, CEO of Stables.

“This partnership is a game-changer for our community of horse racing fans. By combining their deep knowledge of the industry with our cutting-edge technology, we will deliver an unparalleled level of authenticity and immersion.”

Equibase’s vast repository of horse racing information plays a crucial role in enhancing the authenticity of Stables’ virtual races. With this integration, users can access digital representations of real racehorses, such as Triple Crown winners and legendary sires, which they can train and prepare for virtual competitions.

“At Equibase, we are always looking for new ways to use technology to enhance the North American racing fan experience,” said Steve Benedetti, CEO of Equibase.

“This partnership with Stables aligns perfectly with that goal. We are excited to see our data being used in a new and innovative way to create a fun and engaging experience for a younger generation of fans.”

The leadership at Equibase also noted that the partnership "speaks to the enduring legacy of horse racing in North America."

“We are mindful of preserving the traditions that have spanned over a century,” they explained. “By bringing this data into the Web3 domain, we believe that we can create something truly special and dynamic.”

Since its inception, S stables has seen significant success, especially with the rapid sale of its initial collection of 6,666 digital racehorses, which sold out completely in just two days.

The platform also manages to maintain a high level of engagement by hosting weekly virtual racing events, offering participants novel ways to immerse themselves in the sport.

As it expands into North America, the platform is rolling out new gameplay features and system enhancements. It utilizes $SPT tokens to manage game-related transactions, such as race entry fees, prize distributions, and in-game purchases.

The integration of experience-based league categories will help ensure fair competition among digital horse owners, providing a structured and balanced environment for participants.

In addition to incorporating U.S. racehorses, Stables has connected its virtual races to various North American racetracks. This allows the game to simulate diverse terrains, such as dirt tracks and turf courses, varying distances, and fluctuating weather conditions, creating a more immersive and strategic experience for players.

The introduction of new power-ups further enhances gameplay dynamics, encouraging deeper engagement and participation from users. These power-ups can be applied to horses to provide boosts in specific areas, such as speed, stamina, or resilience.

The integration of Equibase’s data will be crucial in developing these power-ups, ensuring that they align with the strengths and weaknesses of the real-world racehorses they represent.

Beyond racing and stable management, Stables features an integrated marketplace where players can acquire game assets and strategic power-ups. The marketplace is designed to facilitate the use of $SPT tokens for transactions.

This enables users to access exclusive in-game items, such as unique saddles, bridles, and horse gear, limited-edition merchandise from the Stables brand, and VIP reward packages granting special privileges within the gaming environment.

These features contribute to the overall vision of delivering a blockchain-powered interactive horse racing experience that blends traditional elements of the sport with cutting-edge technology.

As Stables continues to collaborate with Equibase and update its gaming platform, it is reinforcing its position as a leading player in the digital horse racing domain. The company remains focused on blending blockchain technology with traditional horse racing elements, ensuring an engaging and innovative gaming environment for its growing user base.
