N.J. Admin. Code § 13:74-9.4

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

Section 13:74-9.4 - Mechanical breakdowns

(a) In the event of an irreparable breakdown of the totalisator during the wagering on a race, all pari-mutuel and self-service pari-mutuel machines, and account wagering equipment, the wagering on that race shall be declared closed and, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, the pay-off for that race shall be computed on the sums wagered in each pari-mutuel pool at the time of the breakdown. However, where any such breakdown is partial and does not impact each method by which wagers may be placed and the integrity of the ability to otherwise accept wagers, wagering may by the method or methods not impacted by the irreparable breakdown continue. For example, in the event the account wagering equipment is the subject of an irreparable breakdown during the wagering on a race and no additional wagers on that race may be taken through the account wagering system, wagers may still be taken on the race by other wagering methods which might include wagering by cash payment at an off-track wagering facility.

(b) In the event of a totalisator malfunction requiring the operator of the totalisator equipment to purchase any non-issued ticket or the equivalent, the operator of the totalistor equipment may 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 Commission and distributed as outstanding pari-mutuel ticket monies as set forth in the Act.
