Description

Fathier tables^[2] were a type of betting console that allowed beings to both bet on and view remote fathier races. The table's shape resembled the oval shape of a fathier race track with betting terminal positioned around the edge. They featured a central hologram which displayed past race results as well as a close up of ongoing races. During a race, individual holograms synced to the participating fathier's position move around table's center track.^[1]

History

In 3 ABY, fathier tables included live broadcasts of fathier races from the Canto Casino and Racetrack in the city Canto Bight on Cantonica as part of the Canto Cup tournament. These broadcasts included commentary transmitted directly from the racetrack in Canto Bight with one announcer speaking in Galactic Basic and another announcer speaking in Huttese.^[1]
