Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) When consistent
						  with the public interest and the best interests of racing generally, the
						  commission may approve a request from a track operator to offer "WIN-3" betting
						  as a service to the betting public. Other names for such bets may be approved
						  by the commission.
(b) The "WIN-3"
						  is a unique pari-mutuel pool, separate from all other pari- mutuel pools. The
						  object of the WIN-3 is to select the winners only of three consecutive races
						  (legs) designated by the track operator and advertised clearly in the betting
						  program.
(c) Winning payoff price.
						  From the gross pool is deducted the take-out and consolation payoff amounts, if
						  any, and the resulting balance, divided by the amount wagered on the winning
						  combination, less breaks, shall determine the payoff per dollar on winning
						  bets.
(d) Dead heat winners. If
						  there are two or more winning combinations because of a dead heat in one or
						  more legs there shall be a separate payoff price per dollar calculated for each
						  winning combination as follows: from the gross pool is deducted the take-out,
						  consolation payoff amounts, if any, and amounts wagered on all winning
						  combinations; the balance shall be divided by the number of different winning
						  combinations upon which bets were sold, each resulting allocated part being
						  assigned to each respective winning combination; an allocated part plus the
						  amounts bet on each winning combination when divided by the amount bet on such
						  winning combination (less breaks) shall be the resulting payoff per dollar per
						  respective winning combination.
(e)
						  Failure to select a winning combination.
(1)
						  Patrons shall be advised by public address to hold all WIN-3 tickets and the
						  circumstances leading to such announcement: after the first leg if no bet
						  selects a winner of the first leg; after the second leg if no bet combines the
						  winners of the first two legs; and after the third leg if no bet combines all
						  three winners.
(2) Should there be
						  no bets on any winning combination, then all bets combining two winners shall
						  be considered winning bets and paid a price per dollar bet calculated as with
						  dead heat winning combinations. Consolation tickets combining such two winners
						  shall be entitled to a winning payoff in addition to a consolation
						  payoff.
(3) Should there be no bets
						  combining winners of two legs, then all bets selecting a winner shall be
						  considered winning bets and paid a price per dollar bet calculated as with
						  winning dead heat combinations. Consolation tickets shall be entitled to a
						  winning payoff in addition to a consolation payoff.
(4) Should there be no bets on any winner,
						  the WIN-3 shall be declared off and the entire pool refunded.
