North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 69.5 - Racing Commission, North Dakota › Article 69.5-01 - North Dakota Racing Commission Rules › Chapter 69.5-01-08 - Pari-Mutuel Wagering Systems › Section 69.5-01-08-11 - Pari-mutuel ticket sales

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. No pari-mutuel
				tickets may be sold except by the association conducting the races on which
				such wagers are made or a licensee who is hosting pools. Association tickets
				must be sold only at regular "seller" windows properly designated by signs
				showing the type and denomination of tickets to be sold at such windows if
				there are restrictions of any kind. No pari-mutuel tickets may be sold after
				the totalizator has been locked and no association is responsible for ticket
				sales entered into but not completed by issuance of a ticket before the
				totalizator has been locked.
2. Any
				claim by a person that the person has been issued a ticket other than that
				which the person requested must be made before such person leaves the seller
				window and before the totalizator is locked.
3. After purchasing a ticket and after
				leaving a ticket window, a person is not entitled to enter for issuance of an
				incorrect ticket, or claim refund or payment for tickets discarded, lost,
				destroyed, or mutilated beyond identification.
4. Payment on valid pari-mutuel tickets may
				be made only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the association where
				such wager was made within ninety days following the running of the race on
				which such wager was made. Failure to present any such ticket within ninety
				days constitutes a waiver of the right to receive payment thereon. The balance
				of funds not paid out constitutes the outs.
5. Payment of valid pari-mutuel tickets must
				be made on the basis of the order of finishes purposely posted on the infield
				results board and declared "official" by the stewards; any subsequent change in
				such order of finish or award of purse money as may result from a subsequent
				ruling by the stewards or commission in no way affects the pari-mutuel payoff.
				Cashiers' windows must remain open a reasonable length of time after the last
				race.
6. The association is
				responsible for the correctness of all payoff prices posted as "official" on
				the infield results board. If an error is made in posting the payoff figures on
				the public board, and ascertained before any tickets are cashed thereon, then
				such posting error may be corrected accompanied by a public address
				announcement, and only the correct amounts may be used in the payoff,
				irrespective of the initial error on the public board.
7. Prior to posting payoffs, the pari-mutuel
				manager shall require each of the computer printout sheets of such race to be
				proven and the winners verified. Such proof must show the amounts for
				commissions, breakage, and payoffs, which added together must equal the total
				pool. All pay slips are to be checked with computer printout sheets as to
				winner and prices before being issued to cashiers, and all board prices are to
				be rechecked before released to the public.
8. Whenever the recapitulation of the sales
				registered by each ticket issuing machine subsequently proves that the actual
				amount in the pool, or pools, is less than the amount used in calculating the
				payoff, such deficiency must be deposited in the pool or pools by the
				association. Should the recapitulation of sales prove that the actual amount in
				the pool or pools is greater than the amount used in calculating the payoff due
				to an error of the totalizator, such error resulting in underpayment to the
				public, then the aggregate of such underpayments must be paid into the
				corresponding pool of the next race or races in such amounts as may be
				determined by the state steward and the pari-mutuel manager. If any such error
				should occur in computing the daily double pool, the underpayment must be added
				to the daily double pool of the following day. Overpayments and underpayments
				subsequently discovered upon recapitulation after the close of a meeting may be
				adjusted, and any underpayment resulting from such final adjustment must be
				paid to the commission.
