Rule Type: Current Rules & Regulations
Reference Number: 038.0001.9.04242017
Each Permittee shall conduct wagering in accordance with applicable laws and these rules. Such wagering shall employ a pari-mutuel system approved by the Commission. The totalisator shall be tested as required by the Commission.
(i) The Permittee shall maintain records of all wagering so the Commission may review such records for any contest including the opening line, subsequent odds fluctuation, the amount and at which window wagers were placed on any betting interest and such other information as may be required. Such wagering records shall be retained by each Permittee and safeguarded for a period of time specified by the Commission. The Commission may require that certain records be made available to the wagering public at the completion of each contest.
(ii) The Permittee shall provide the Commission with a list of the licensed individuals afforded access to pari-mutuel records and equipment at the wagering facility.
A pari-mutuel ticket is evidence of a contribution to the pari-mutuel pool operated by the Permittee and is evidence of the obligation of the Permittee to pay to the holder thereof such portion of the distributable amount of the pari-mutuel pool as is represented by such valid pari-mutuel ticket. The Permittee shall cash all valid winning tickets when such are presented for payment during the course of the meeting where sold, and for one full year immediately following the date of purchase.
(i) To be deemed a valid pari-mutuel ticket, such ticket shall have been issued by a pari-mutuel ticket matching operated by the Permittee and recorded as a ticket entitled to a share of the pari-mutuel pool, and contain imprinted information as to:
(A) The name of the Permittee operating the meeting. (B) A unique identifying number or code.
(C) Identification of the terminal at which the ticket was issued.
(D) A designation of the performance for which the wagering transaction was issued.
(E) The contest number for which the pool is conducted.
(F) The type or types of wagers represented.
(G) The number or numbers representing the betting interest for which the wager is recorded.
(H) The amount or amounts of the contributions to the pari-mutuel pool or pools for which the ticket is evidence.
(ii) No pari-mutuel ticket recorded or reported as previously paid, cancelled, or non-existent shall be deemed a valid pari-mutuel ticket by the Permittee. The Permittee may withhold payment and refuse to cash any pari-mutuel ticket deemed not valid, except as provided in rule (d) of these general provisions.
(d) Pari-Mutuel Ticket Sales
(i) Pari-mutuel tickets shall not be sold by anyone other than a Permittee licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering.
(ii) No pari-mutuel tickets may be sold on a live pari-mutuel event for which wagering has already been closed and no Permittee shall be responsible for ticket sales entered into but not completed by issuance of a ticket before the totalisator is closed for wagering on such contest.
(iii) Claims pertaining to a mistake on an issued or unissued ticket must be made by the bettor prior to leaving the seller's window.
(iv) Payment on winning pari-mutuel wagers shall be made on the basis of the order of finish as purposely posted and declared "official". Any subsequent change in the order of finish or award of purse money as may result from a subsequent ruling by the stewards or Commission shall in no way affect the pari-mutuel payoff. If an error in the posted order of finish or payoff figures is discovered, the official order of finish or payoff prices may be corrected and an announcement concerning the change shall be made to the public.
(v) The Permittee shall not satisfy claims on lost, mutilated, or altered pari-mutuel tickets without authorization of the Commission.
(vi) The Permittee shall have no obligation to enter a wager into a betting pool if unable to do so due to equipment failure.
(vii) A pari-mutuel ticket shall not be sold to a licensed jockey.
No Permittee shall permit wagering to begin more than one hour before scheduled post time of the first contest of a performance unless it has first obtained the authorization of the Commission.
At a designated location, a written, verified claim for payment from a pari-mutuel pool shall be accepted by the Permittee in any case where the Permittee has withheld payment or has refused to cash a pari-mutuel wager. The claim shall be made on such form as approved by the Commission, and the claimant shall make such claim under penalty of perjury. The original of such claim shall be forwarded to the Commission within 48 hours.
(i) In the case of a claim made for payment of a mutilated pari-mutuel ticket which does not contain the total imprinted elements required in section c, (i) of these general provisions, the Permittee shall make a recommendation to accompany the claim forwarded to the Commission as to whether or not the mutilated ticket has sufficient elements to be positively identified as a winning ticket.
(ii) In the case of a claim made for payment on a pari-mutuel wager, the Commission shall adjudicate the claim and may order payment thereon from the pari-mutuel pool or by the Permittee, or may deny the claim, or may make such other order as it may deem proper.
If an error occurs in the payment amounts for pari-mutuel wagers which are cashed or entitled to be cashed; and as a result of such error the pari-mutuel pool involved in the error is not correctly distributed among winning ticket holders, the following shall apply:
(i) Verification is required to show that the amount of the commission, the amount in breakage, and the amount if payoffs is equal to the total gross pool. If the amount of the pool is more than the amount used to calculate the payoff, the underpayment shall be added to the corresponding pool of the next contest. If underpayments are discovered after the close of the meeting, the underpayment shall be held in an interest-bearing account approved by the Commission until being added, together with accrued interest, to the corresponding pool of the next meet.
(ii) Any claim not filed with the Permittee within 30 days, inclusive of the date on which the underpayment was publicly announced, shall be deemed waived; and the Permittee shall have no further liability therefore.
(iii) In the event the error results in an overpayment to winning wagers, the Permittee shall be responsible for such payment.

Should any contestant in coupled entry or mutuel field be officially withdrawn or scratched, the remaining contestants in that coupled entry or mutuel field shall remain valid betting interests and no refunds will be granted. If all contestants within a coupled entry or mutuel field are scratched, then tickets on such betting interests shall be refunded, notwithstanding other provisions of these rules.

(d) Takeout Rates in Interstate Common Pools
(i) With the prior approval of the Commission, a Permittee wishing to participate in an interstate common pool may change its takeout rate (within the limits permitted by state law) so as to achieve a common takeout rate with all other participants in the interstate common pool.
(ii) A Permittee wishing to participate in an interstate common pool may request that the Commission approve a methodology whereby host and guest states with different takeout rates for corresponding pari-mutuel pools may effectively and equitably combine wagers from the different states into an interstate common pool.
(a) General
(i) All permitted pari-mutuel wagering pools shall be separately and independently calculated and distributed. Takeout shall be deducted from each gross pool as stipulated by law. The remainder of the monies in the pool shall constitute the net pool for distribution as payoff on the winning wagers.
(ii) For each wagering pool, the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or betting combinations is deducted from the net pool to determine the profit; the profit is then divided by the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or combinations, such quotient being the profit per dollar.
(iii) Either the standard or net price calculation procedure may be used to calculate single commission pools, while the net price calculation procedure must be used to calculate multi-commission pools.
(A) Standard price calculation procedure:
SINGLE PRICE POOL (WIN POOL)
| gross pool | = sum of wagers on all betting interest - refunds |
|---|---|
| net pool | = gross pool x (1 - percent takeout) |
| profit | = net pool - gross amount bet on winner |
| profit per dollar | = profit/gross amount bet on winner |
| $1 unbroken price | = profit per dollar + $1 |
PRICE SPLIT (PLACE POOL)
Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all place finisher. Finishers split profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for two unique prices.
PROFIT SPLIT (SHOW POOL)
Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers split profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each show finisher for three unique prices.
Net price calculation procedure:
| gross pool | = sum of wagers on all betting interest - refunds |
|---|---|
| * for each source: | |
| net pool | = gross pool x (1 - percent takeout) |
| net bet on winner | = gross amount bet on winner x (1 - percent takeout) |
| total net pool | = sum of all sources net pools |
| total net bet on winner | = sum of all sources net bet on winner |
| total profit | = total net pool - total net bet on winner |
| profit per dollar | = total profit/total net bet on winner |
| $1 unbroken base price | = profit per dollar + $1 |
unbroken $1 price = $1 unbroken base price x (1 - percent takeout)
Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers split total profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for two unique unbroken base prices.
Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for three unique unbroken base prices.

The minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick (n) contest, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in all Pick (n) contests, the entire net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests.

Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the Pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances.
(vii) The Pick (n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of a performance, the amount in the Pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the Pick (n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the Pick (n) carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the Pick (n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests for that performance.
(viii) A written request for permission to distribute the Pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.
(ix) Should the Pick (n) carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests.

(xii) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining is strictly prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalisator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
(xiii) The Permittee may suspend, for a specific performance, previously-approved Pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the Commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended Pick (n) wagering is reinstated. A Permittee may request approval of a Pick (n) wager or separate wagering pool for specific performances or events.

(B) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the Tri-Superfecta is discontinued.
(C) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
(xix) If, for any reason, the Tri-Superfecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding Tri-Superfecta pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the Commission. The Tri-Superfecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second-half Tri-Superfecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission.
(xx) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations or number of tickets sold is prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalisator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
(xxi) The Permittee must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Tri-Superfecta contests, the percentages of the net pool added to the first-half pool and second-half pool, and amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the approved Tri-Superfecta format require approval from the Commission.
(i) The Twin Superfecta requires selection of the first four finishers, in their exact order, in each of two designated contests. Each winning ticket for the first Twin Superfecta contest must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second Twin Superfecta contest in order to remain eligible for the second-half Twin Superfecta pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at attended tickets windows prior to the second Twin Superfecta contest. Winning first-half Twin Superfecta tickets will receive both an exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated Twin Superfecta contests shall be included in only one Twin Superfecta pool.
(ii) After wagering closes for the first-half of the Twin Superfecta and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net pool shall then be divided into two separate pools: the first-half Twin Superfecta pool and the second-half Twin Superfecta pool.
(iii) In the first Twin Superfecta contest only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first Twin Superfecta contest:
(A) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(B) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(C) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(D) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then
(E) The entire Twin Superfecta pool shall be refunded on Twin Superfecta wagers for that contest and the second-half shall be cancelled.
(iv) If no first-half Twin Superfecta ticket selects the first four finishers of that contest in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second-half Twin Superfecta pool. In such case, the second-half Twin Superfecta pool shall be retained and added to any existing Twin Superfecta carryover pool.
(v) Winning tickets from the first-half of the Twin Superfecta shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first four finishers of the second-half of the Twin Superfecta. The second-half Twin Superfecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second Twin Superfecta contest:
(A) As a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, then (B) The entire second-half Twin Trifecta pool for that contest shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second-half Twin Superfecta pool of the next performance.
(vi) If a winning first-half Twin Superfecta ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second-half Twin Superfecta contest, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first-half Twin Superfecta pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second-half Twin Trifecta pool.
(vii) Coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in Twin Superfecta contests.
(viii) Should a betting interest in the first-half of the Twin Superfecta be scratched, those Twin Superfecta tickets including the scratched betting interest shall be refunded.
(ix) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the Twin Superfecta be scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for exchange of tickets that include the scratched betting interest. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second Twin Superfecta contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second-half Twin Superfecta pool.
(x) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in the second-half of the Twin Superfecta is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second-half Twin Superfecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not the Twin Superfecta carryover.
(xi) If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first- or second-half of the Twin Superfecta, all Twin Superfecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a betting interest involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead-heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring:
(A) The first-half of the Twin Superfecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split.
(B) The second-half of the Twin Superfecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.
(xii) If either of the Twin Superfecta contests are cancelled prior to the first Twin Superfecta contest, or the first Twin Superfecta contest is declared 'no contest', the entire Twin Superfecta pool shall be refunded on Twin Superfecta wagers for that contest and the second-half shall be cancelled.
(xiii) If the second-half Twin Superfecta contest is cancelled or declared 'no contest', all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning Twin Superfecta tickets shall be entitled to the net Twin Superfecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not the Twin Superfecta carryover. If there are no such tickets, the net Twin Superfecta pool shall be distributed as described in subsection 3 of the Twin Superfecta rules.
(xiv) The Twin Superfecta carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the Twin Superfecta carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the Twin Superfecta carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the second-half Twin Superfecta carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net Twin Superfecta pool for each individual contest shall be distributed to winners of the first-half of the Twin Superfecta pool.
(xv) A written request for permission to distribute the Twin Superfecta carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.
(xvi) Should the Twin Superfecta carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second-half of the Twin Superfecta after completion of the first-half of the Twin Superfecta:
(A) As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(B) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(C) As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(D) As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then (E) As a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets.
(F) As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first-half winning tickets.
(xvii) Contrary to subsection (iv) of the Twin Superfecta rules, during a performance designated to distribute the Twin Superfecta carryover, exchange tickets will be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first-half of the Twin Superfecta. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-, second-, third-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-, second-, third-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first- and second-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first- and second-place finishers, in their exact order, the exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place betting interest only in the first-half of the Twin Superfecta, all first-half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day's net Twin Superfecta pool and any existing Twin Superfecta carryover as a single price pool.
(xviii) The Twin Superfecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
(A) Upon written approval from the Commission as provided in subsection (xv) of the Twin Superfecta rules.
(B) Upon written approval from the Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the Twin Superfecta is discontinued.
(C) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
(xix) If, for any reason, the Twin Superfecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding Twin Superfecta pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the Commission. The Twin Superfecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second-half Twin Superfecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Commission.
(xx) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of valid exchange tickets is prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalisator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
(xxi) The Permittee must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Twin Superfecta contests, the percentages of the net pool added to the first-half pool and second-half pool, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the approved Twin Superfecta format require prior approval from the Commission.
