Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3769 - State Racing Commission › Chapter 3769-2 - Administrative Rules › Section 3769-2-35 - Simulcasting of races

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
All simulcast races on which pari mutuel wagering is conducted
				by a permit holder will be in accordance with the following conditions
				and/or restrictions:
(A) All simulcast
			 races have
			 to be conducted in full compliance with section
			 3769.089 of the Revised
			 Code.
(B) Except by special
			 permission of the commission no permit holder may simulcast more than two races
			 per race day.
(C) A copy of the
			 simulcast contract, between a permit holder and the originating track,
			 has to be
			 in the commission office prior to the simulcasting of a race by a permit
			 holder, unless otherwise waived by the commission.
(D) When simulcasting any race, other than
			 those races on which there is a common parimutuel wagering pool that is
			 processed and priced by other than the permit holder's totalizator system, the
			 permit holder will prominently display the amounts wagered, as well
			 as the wagering odds at the permit holder's track, on each horse participating
			 in the simulcast race(s). After the race has been made official, this display
			 device will also show the pay offs of all wagers accepted on the race. In all
			 races in which there is a common pari-mutuel pool, the permit holder
			 will
			 prominently display the total amount wagered in the common pool at all
			 tracks.
(E) When simulcasting a
			 race other than those races on which there is a common
			 parimutuel wagering pool that is processed and priced by other than the permit
			 holder's totalizator system, the permit holder has to provide
			 telephone communications between the stewards' stand, judges' stand, tote room or other approved location at
			 the originating track and the stewards' stand, judges'
			 stand, tote room, or other approved located
			 at the permit holders track. The telephone equipment will be used,
			 for a reasonable time, prior to the scheduled post time, of the race to be
			 simulcasted and until the results of the simulcast race are declared official
			 by the stewards or judges at the originating
			 track.
(F) Wagering on a simulcast
			 race, other than those races on which there is a common parimutuel pool that is
			 processed and priced by other than the permit holder's totalizator system, will
			 close and the pari-mutuel machines of the permit holder will be locked by the
			 mutuel manager or designee at the permit holder's track at the time the
			 stewards or judges at the originating track
			 indicate the race has started or at the time the mutuel manager or designee at
			 the permit holder's track see the start of the race on television. On those
			 races on which there is a common pari-mutuel pool that is processed and priced
			 by other than the permit holder's totalizator system, the permit holder's
			 mutuel manager their designated representative
			 will be
			 responsible for closing wagering if the host track fails to close wagering at
			 the permit holder's facility.
(G)
			 If technical problems cause a loss of either/or the audio or visual signal of a
			 simulcast race, wagering can continue as long as the officials have
			 communication with the host track and wagering is stopped at the proper time
			 when the simulcast race begins.
(H)
			 The violation of any part of this rule will subject the
			 person and/or permit holder to the penalties provided in rule
			 3769-2-99 of the Administrative
			 Code.
