. Pursuant to section
				12-575(b)
				of the Connecticut General Statutes, use of a computerized electronic
				totalizator system to conduct pari-mutuel wagering shall be subject to the

Requirements and control
.
(1)
				System. The totalizator equipment selected for use shall automatically register
				the wagers made on each race track program number by pool, wager location and
				performance and print and issue a ticket representing each such wager. Such
				system shall ensure that all pari-mutuel tickets sold contain the same
				information as entered in the computer memory files. Such system must also have
				the capability of accounting for the aggregated wagering for each type of pool
				and determining odds and calculating pay-offs by program number for independent
				pools and common pool wagering. For the purposes of telephone betting, the
				totalizator equipment selected for use shall be capable of accounting for all
				wagering and other transactions which may affect customer accounts.
(2) Internal control. The association and
				totalizator licensee(s) shall maintain a system of internal control subject to
				the approval of the division to monitor and restrict data access and provide
				property control over on-site hardware. Prior to the first day of operation in
				a calendar year, the association and totalizator licensee(s) shall submit to
				the division a plan of control to include the types of control in place and the
				procedures for the detection of unauthorized data access and misuse of wagering
				information and hardware. Revisions to the plan of control shall be reported to
				the division as they are initiated.
(3) Reports. The association and totalizator
				licensee shall submit to the division a listing of all reports, analyses or
				summaries which the totalizator equipment being utilized is capable of
				generating both "on-line" and "off-line" and shall provide the division with a
				listing of designated individuals who have access to such on line print-outs,
				and the number of copies, the date or time and proposed usage of such
				print-outs. In addition, a log shall be maintained for off-line print-outs or
				information detailing the time, date, type of report, number of copies,
				distribution of copies and the names of individuals requesting such print-outs.
				The extraction of any and all information from the system shall be restricted
				to designated association, totalizator and division personnel all of whom will
				have been previously authorized by the division.
(A) It shall be the totalizator licensee's
				responsibility to ensure that an accurate record is maintained and the division
				is informed of all data access. Line-printer-generated reports for ticket
				issuing machines (TIM) and console logs shall be made available to the division
				upon request or as designated.
(4) Testing requirements. Not less than seven
				(7) days in advance of the first day of operation or prior to any modification
				of the system, the totalizator licensee shall certify to the division that the
				totalizator equipment to be utilized has been tested and is operating
				correctly. The division shall have the right to test the totalizator system as
				needed and as determined by the division at reasonable times and upon
				reasonable notice, and the association and totalizator licensee(s) shall make
				the system accessible and available to the division for adequate testing prior
				to the first day of operation. If required by the division, the association or
				totalizator licensee shall make pari-mutuel tellers or computer system
				operators available during totalizator system tests to perform teller or
				computer operations. In addition, the totalizator licensee shall test the
				equipment prior to the opening of wagering each day. Said test and
				certification thereof shall be made in a manner as directed by the division and
				shall be conducted to determine and ensure the proper functioning and operation
				of the equipment or systems utilized. In addition to the provisions of section
				12-574-F9(s)
				of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies any malfunction, its effect on
				operations, and the remedial steps taken to correct such malfunction and the
				procedures established to prevent recurrence thereof shall be reported to the
				division at the time of occurrence and on a daily basis until such malfunction
				is corrected.
