Donkey Dash is situated on a sizable horse racing stadium—more accurately, a donkey racing stadium. During the race, the six donkeys are initially positioned on the left side of the screen and then move horizontally to the right. The vibrant logo sits in the upper left corner, beneath which is a speaker that plays game audio through earbuds and a microphone. Though they are muffled, his remarks are visible in a speech bubble next to him. There's a large stand at the far rear where spectators are watching the race, and the donkeys are on a large grass field. On a chart, each donkey has a profile image at the top, and beneath the photo are their individual figures for the race.
The player selects one of the six donkeys from a choose screen at the beginning of the game. There are three to eight horizontal arrows on each donkey that lead to the finish line. The red donkey is the lowest paying; if it wins, the wager is doubled. There are just three arrows separating him from the finish line. With eight arrows standing between him and the finish line, the purple donkey is the highest-paid competitor in this competition. You'll get paid 100 times your wager if you beat him to the finish line. Whichever donkey you are racing and whatever position you finish in, you will receive 1X the bet if you place in second place.
Additionally, each donkey has a unique number that allows it to move two arrows. On the top chart, the special number is indicated by an arrow, and the ball that corresponds to it is golden. With the golden number, the purple donkey will cover his eight arrows in seven numbers if the special number is among them, while the red donkey will only need two numbers to cross the finish line if one of them is his special number.
Throughout the game, six Instant Prize Balls are available for random drawing. In terms of bet value, they are 2X, 5X, 10X, 20X, 50X, and 100X.
There are three variations of the Multiplier Balls: 2X, 3X, and 5X. The amount of the first-place winner is multiplied by the multiplier ball's number if one is drawn. You can only use the Multiplier Ball if your donkey finishes in first place.
