Section 112-18-11 - Procedures for lost video signal

(a) A simulcasting licensee shall not merge wagers on a simulcast race until the simulcasting licensee is receiving the video signal from the sending racetrack. If the signal is not received, the simulcasting licensee shall establish a telephone linkup with the sending racetrack's stewards, racing judges, or simulcast official and shall announce to the patrons all pertinent information.

(b) If the simulcasting licensee loses the video signal from the sending racetrack, the simulcasting licensee shall immediately notify the sending racetrack of the lost signal.

(c) If the video signal is lost after wagering has commenced, wagering shall be suspended while it is determined if the signal can be reestablished. An announcement shall be made to the patrons advising them that wagering has been temporarily suspended due to video problems. The results and prices of each race that goes post while the signal is lost shall be received through the tote linkup. An announcement of the results shall be made to the patrons.

(d) If the video signal cannot be reestablished, the simulcast licensee shall cease accepting wagers. The licensee may order a refund of all monies wagered on future races, or at the determination of the mutuel manager, the outstanding wagers on future races may remain in the system. If the decision is made to keep outstanding wagers in the system, a ticket list shall be run showing all outstanding wagers on the remainder of the performance. The mutuel manager shall verify the prices and results of all races in which there are outstanding wagers, and the results of these races shall be announced to the patrons.

(e) If the licensee loses the video signal as described above in subsection (c) or (d), the licensee shall file a written report with the inspector of parimutuels.

(f) Wagers that encompass more than one race shall be unaffected by signal problems encountered in any race of the sequence other than the first.
