Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 13:69M-4.15 - Mechanical breakdowns

(a) In the event of an irreparable breakdown of the totalisator or all pari-mutuel and self-service pari-mutuel machines during the wagering on a race, the wagering on that race shall be declared closed, and the pay-off for that race shall be computed on the sums wagered in each pari-mutuel pool at the time of the breakdown.

(b) In the event of a totalisator malfunction requiring the operator of the totalisator equipment to purchase any non-issued ticket "lost" in the totalisator computer, the operator of the totalisator equipment shall be permitted to credit losing tickets so purchased to the extent of winning tickets similarly purchased. The proceeds of such winning tickets which exceed any credit for losing tickets shall be paid to the Racing Commission and deposited in the Casino Special Simulcasting Fund for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Casino Simulcasting Act. For example, if the "lost" tickets on a race cost $ 1,000 and pay off $ 800.00, the operator of the totalisator equipment must pay $ 200.00. However, if the "lost" tickets cost $ 1,000 and pay off $ 1,200, the operator of the totalisator equipment need pay nothing and $ 200.00 shall be paid to the Racing Commission and deposited in the Casino Simulcasting Special Fund.
