Current through June 24, 2024
The guest licensee shall do all of the following:
(1) Conduct intertrack wagering via core to
						core or machine (TIM) to tote transmissions with the host track.
(2) The totalizator operator shall
						discontinue intertrack wagers upon the issuance of the stop bet command issued
						by the host track steward, or if the stop bet command is not received, at the
						time the lure begins its movement. All guest tracks shall signal the cessation
						of wagering by sounding an off bell.
(3) Only offer pools which are the same as
						those offered by the host licensee, but the guest licensee is not required to
						offer all pools offered by the host licensee. Guest licensees may elect to
						exclude pools offered by the host licensee upon contractual agreement between
						the guest licensee and the host licensee. The host track shall also determine
						the minimum ticket price that is available for each pool.
(4) Cycle of frequency of the change of odds
						displayed on the display devices at intervals of not more than 60 seconds. An
						explanation shall be provided in the racing program indicating that odds and
						other wagering information may be delayed due to the accumulation and transfer
						of intertrack wagering data.
(5) In
						order to facilitate the transfer of money between host tracks and guest tracks,
						perform a daily reconciliation of its racing accounts and all amounts due to or
						from the host track. The frequency of the transfer of monies between host
						tracks and guest tracks shall be as specified by contract, but shall occur at
						least weekly.
(6) Ensure that
						tickets sold at guest tracks conform to the requirements of s.
						Game
						10.06(7), and be identified as
						intertrack wagers.
(7) Not earlier
						than one hour and not later than 15 minutes prior to the commencement of
						transmission of a race, perform a test program of its transmitter, encryption,
						decoding, or other systems or devices approved by the division, data
						communication to assure proper operation of the broadcast system. Any
						irregularity shall be reported immediately to the division auditor, pursuant to
						ss.
						Game
						8.17 and
						10.03.
(8) Provide sufficient television monitors in
						each totalizator room at the guest track to provide key totalizator employees a
						view of all animals starting in each race at any host track.
(9) Maintain a facsimile machine located in
						the totalizator room. In the event that a manual transmission of data is
						necessary the facsimile machine shall be the priority method of receiving any
						changes in the host track racing program, or any wagering data.
(10) Maintain a direct private line telephone
						with the host track located in the totalizator room. Such direct private line
						telephone communication will be used to receive information during instances
						when facsimile transmission is not possible, or when facsimile transmission is
						not timely due to urgency of communication. Any direct private line telephone
						communication shall be confirmed in writing by the mutuel manager or designee
						within 24 hours of the end of the program. A copy shall be provided to the
						division auditor.
(11) Display the
						same post time as the host track for all intertrack races.
(12) Provide:
(a) If satellite transmission is utilized, a
						downlink system which does not interfere with the closed circuit television
						system utilized by the guest track association for patron
						information;
(b) Such security
						controls over its communication system, as approved by the division, as are
						necessary to protect the security of the signals, protect the best interests of
						the public and to maximize revenues to the state as approved by the
						division;
(c) One or more
						information windows to address patron complaints, questions, inquiries, and
						which shall contain a copy of the division's administrative rules for patron
						review.
