Rule 3769-3-01 | Win, place, show wagering and entries.
Effective:
September 1, 2008
(A) The horse racing act legalizes and permits the parimutuel form of wagering in Ohio but only on the premises of permit holders. Wagering may be in several distinct pools; namely, on horses to finish first, which is designated the "win" pool; on horses to finish first or second, which is designated the "place" pool; and on horses to finish first, second, or third which is designated the "show" pool. Any other type of pool is called an "exotic pool." (B) From each win, place, and show pool at any race track conducting parimutuel wagering, there shall be deducted eighteen per cent. The remainder, less breakage, shall be the net pool for distribution. (C) All horses from the same stable or of the same ownership engaged in the same race must race as an entry and a single wagering interest unless otherwise permitted by the commission. However, when a trainer enters more than one horse of different ownership in any type race the horses may be uncoupled as an entry and considered to be separate betting interests. No trainer may have more than two betting interests in any one race other than a stakes race. In all win, place, and show pools, if two or more horses in a race are coupled as an entry or field in one betting interest, there shall be no refunds, unless all of the horses so coupled are excused before off time. (D) All pools shall be calculated in accordance with the accepted practice in the calculation of mutuel pools as herein provided.

Rule 3769-3-02 | Exotic wagering and entries.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) "Exotic wagering" is
defined as any betting or wagering that is separate and distinct from the win,
place and show pools. Types of exotic wagering include but are not limited to
daily double, quinella, perfecta, and trifecta pools. Types of exotic wagering
not covered by these rules may be instituted by the permit holder for a trial
period of six months or longer from the initial wagering day of the
experimental exotic pool, only after the submission of written rules to the
commission, accompanied by a full explanation, and only after the
commission's interim approval thereof. Upon final approval by the racing
commission and incorporation into these official rules, any permit holder may
use such exotic wagering without further permission. Permit holders may not
vary from the final approved rule without express approval of the
commission. (B) From each exotic pool, there will be
deducted twenty-two and one half per cent; the remainder being the net pool for
distribution, less breakage. (C) Exotic wagering will be conducted
only by use of automatic mechanical, electric or electronic devices which print
and issue tickets evidencing individual wagers and either locally print a
permanent record of the tickets issued by each machine or transmit by automatic
mechanical, electric, or electronic means the total number dollar value of such
tickets for registry on a central aggregating device; and no such aggregating
device will be cleared of the figures so registered until the commission's
representative then on duty will have had a reasonable opportunity to record
such figures. (D) Unless prohibited by the racing
commission for a specific type of exotic wagering, all entries as defined in
Chapter 3769-1 of the Administrative Code and all field horses as defined in
Chapter 3769-1 of the Administrative Code may race coupled as one wagering
interest in any exotic pool, provided they are likewise classified for win,
place and show wagering. Horses owned by different interests but trained by the
same trainer may race uncoupled as separate wagering interests. No trainer may
have more then two betting interests in any one race other than a stakes
race. (E) In all exotic pools, if two or more
horses are coupled in an entry or field as one wagering interest, there will be
no refunds on such interest unless all of the horses so coupled are excused
before off time. Contrary to win, place, show, and dead heat payoff
calculations where two or more parts of a field or entry may participate, all
exotic pool calculations have to use separate wagering interests in determining
proper payoff combinations. If two or more field or entry horses finish in
payoff positions, the highest placed position takes precedence. (F) In any rule of Chapter 3769-3 of the
Administrative Code where an example of exotic pool payout or priority of
payout is given such as (1-2-3) or (1-2-3-all), the "1" is defined as
the horse placed first, "2" the horse placed second, "3"
the horse placed third, and "4" the horse placed fourth in the
official order of finish regardless of initial post position, head number or
saddle cloth/pad. In any exotic pool where a payoff includes the
"all" condition such as 1-2-3-all or 1-2-all, the word
"all" is defined as all horses or entries, other than those already
participating in the payoff, which started the subject race regardless of
whether they failed to finish for any reason, were declared a non-starter for
equipment failure or other reason or were disqualified or placed back for a
rule violation. (G) In any exotic form of wagering in
which a carryover pool is generated, there has to be a mandatory distribution
of such carryover jackpot on the "final day of the meeting" as
defined in paragraph (I) of this rule. In addition, the permit holder after
written application to, and with the express approval of the racing commission,
may schedule additional "mandatory payout" days. Such mandatory
distribution days may be based on (1) a specified size of carryover jackpot;
(2) a fixed number of days between mandatory payouts; or (3) a fixed number of
days between mandatory payouts with a guaranteed minimum payout. A full
explanation of the method used in determining and scheduling such additional
mandatory payout days will be well advertised and available to the
public. (H) If a carryover jackpot under
paragraph (G) of this rule is won before a scheduled, advertised mandatory
distribution, the permit holder will still proceed with a mandatory
distribution on the scheduled date. The mandatory distribution will be
guaranteed at no less than the advertised amount. If the mandatory distribution
carryover pool is less than the advertised approved amount, permit holders will
add whatever funds are necessary to guarantee that the winner will receive a
total payoff of no less than the specified amount after commissions (multiple
winners would share a payoff of no less than the approved amount after
commissions). (I) For all exotic carryover jackpots
"final day of the meeting" will mean: (1) The last scheduled
racing date under the permit holder's permit, unless another permit is
scheduled to commence within twenty-one days at the same facility and the other
permit holder has agreed to continue the carryover pool; or, (2) The last scheduled
racing date (under a permit holder's permit) before a scheduled hiatus of
more than twenty-one days. (J) If, on the final day of the meeting,
a carryover pool cannot be distributed because of the specific rules for that
particular exotic wager or race or program cancellation or any other reason
approved by the stewards or judges, it will be invested on the next business
day in an account, bearing interest at no less than the average rate available
locally. The accumulated carryover jackpot, plus such interest as has accrued,
will be carried over to the next subsequent racing date and thereon distributed
in a mandatory payoff of the same type exotic wager.

Rule 3769-3-03 | Totalizator.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
No permit will be issued to an applicant unless a
totalizator system approved by the commission is installed for pari-mutuel
wagering. Each permit holder will provide and maintain in good working order a
telephone system connecting the stewards or judges stand with the office of the
pari-mutuel plant and any other stations which the commission and/or the permit
holder deem necessary. The permit holder will also provide a telephone in the
stewards or judges stand which permits the stewards or judges to contact an off
track location without going through a switchboard. Each permit holder will
provide and maintain in good working order a system of bells which will be rung
from the stewards or judges stand and/or tote room to signal the close of
wagering on all races other than 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. A button will also be provided in the
stewards or judges stand and/or tote room which, when pressed, will lock
ticket-issuing machines and close wagering, for each race other than 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. A steward or judge
and the totalizator operator will be in verbal communication one minute prior
to scheduled post time for each race other than 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 race will not start if there is no verbal
communication between the steward or judge and the totalizator operator. At
tracks where the next previous year's daily average handle was two hundred
fifty thousand or more, the term "totalizator of approved design"
will be one which displays to the public on a board or television screen,
running totals of amounts wagered, in each of the win, place and show pools on
each entry in each race. No totalizator may be deemed one of approved design
unless it is capable of registering by automatic mechanical, electric or
electronic means on central aggregators all wagers made on each horse, entry,
or the field, in each of the win, place and show pools, and displaying the
totals so registered in such a way as to permit ready tabulation thereof by the
commission's representative. The total so registered on such aggregator
will not be cleared therefrom until such representative has had reasonable
opportunity to record them.

Rule 3769-3-05 | Provision to prohibit wagering.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) If less than six separate entries
start, permit holders may prohibit show wagering. In all races with less than
five entries which start, they may prohibit both place and show wagering. If,
after betting has opened, a late scratch reduces the number of betting
interests to five or less, the show pool may be canceled at the discretion of
the permit holder and the gross show pool refunded. If late scratches reduce
the betting interests to four or less, the place and show pools may be canceled
at the discretion of the permit holder and the gross place and show pools
refunded. (B) In the case of stakes with less
than five entries which start, permit holders, may at their option provide that
there will be no wagering; and in such case an additional race with wagering
may be added to the program. However, the stewards or judges in any race may
waive the requirement that there has to be a place or show pool. (C) In races with six or less
wagering interests that start, permit holders may prohibit exotic wagering that
requires more than two horses in one race to calculate a payoff. In races with
less than five entries that start, all exotic wagering may be
prohibited. (D) If a late scratch or scratches
reduce the numbers of wagering interests to six or less, the exotic pools
requiring more than two horses to complete a payoff may be canceled at the
discretion of the permit holder and the gross exotic pool refunded. If the
number of wagering interests is reduced to five or less, the permit holder may
cancel any exotic pool that requires more than one horse in one race to
calculate a payoff and refund the gross exotic pool to holders of such
tickets. (E) A permit holder with the consent
of the stewards or judges, may bar wagering on any horse or entry in any race,
heat or dash. In such event a public announcement will be made prior to the
acceptance of any wagers with respect to such race, heat or dash. Under such
circumstances the horse or entry barred will be considered for the purpose of
such wagering not to have been a participant in such race. A horse or entry
barred in one heat or dash of a race is not barred in subsequent heats or
dashes of the same race unless the permit holder, with the consent of the
stewards or judges, again determines to do so and suitable public announcement
is made thereof.

(2) When two horses in the mutuel field or coupled as an entry finish first and second, first and third, or second and third, two-thirds of the profit shall be allocated to the tickets representing wagers on the field or entry and the remaining one-third to the wagers on the other horse. (3) When three horses in the mutuel field or coupled as an entry run first, second, and third, the place and show pools shall be distributed in the same manner as a win pool. (4) When only two horses finish, the show pool, if any, shall be distributed in the same manner as a place pool. (5) When only one horse finishes, the show pool, if any, shall be distributed in the same manner as a win pool. (E) In any race in which no horse finishes, all money wagered on the race shall be refunded upon presentation and surrender of parimutuel tickets sold thereon.

(G) If horses which are part of an entry or field finish first and second, and a horse not coupled in the same entry or field finishes in a dead heat for either first or second, two-thirds of the net pool shall be allocated to the tickets representing wagers on the horses of the entry or field and one-third to the tickets representing wagers on the horse not coupled.

Rule 3769-3-19 | Daily double pool calculations.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The object of the daily double is
to select on one ticket, and in one combination, the winners of two consecutive
races as officially posted. These races will be clearly designated on the
program. (B) The daily double is calculated as
an entirely separate pool and, in general, is calculated as a win
pool. (C) If no ticket is sold combining
the two winners of the daily double, the pool will then be apportioned equally
between those having tickets including the winner in the first race of the
daily double and those having tickets including the winner in the second race
of the daily double in the same manner in which a place pool is calculated and
distributed. (D) If no ticket is sold on the
winner of the first race of the daily double on any combination, the entire
pool is apportioned to the holders of tickets on the winner of the second race
of the daily double. Likewise, if no ticket is sold on the winner of the second
race of the daily double or any combination, the entire pool is apportioned to
the holders of tickets on the winner of the first race of the daily double. If
there are none, the daily double will be canceled and the gross pool refunded
to holders of daily double tickets. (E) If a dead heat to win should
result in either the first or second race of the daily double, the total pool
is calculated as a place pool. In case of a dead heat for the winner of the
first race of the daily double, the posting of payoff prices will be made after
the winner of the second race of the daily double is official. (F) In the event any horse or horses
in the first half of the daily double should be excused by the stewards or
judges after the horses have left the paddock for the post, or after the
betting on the daily double has been closed, or should any horse or horses in
the first half of the daily double be declared a non-starter for any reason by
the stewards or judges, the money wagered on any horse or horses so excused or
prevented from racing will be deducted from the daily double pool and refunded
to the purchaser or purchasers of tickets on the horse or horses so excused or
prevented from racing. (G) If a horse is scratched from the
second half of the daily double before it becomes a starter in the second half,
but after the first half of the daily double has been run, all daily double
tickets combining the scratched horse in the second race of the daily double
with the actual winner of the first race of the daily double will be paid a
price equivalent to that fraction of the net pool derived by dividing the net
pool by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the
first race of the daily double with all horses in the second race of the daily
double. The total payoff on all tickets combining the winner of the first race
of the daily double with the scratched horse in the second race of the daily
double as determined by the method set forth in this rule will be deducted from
the net daily double pool. (H) The possible payoff prices will
be posted, displayed, or announced to the public before the start of the second
race of a daily double, and as soon as possible after the horses in the race of
the second half of a daily double have entered upon the track on the way to the
post. (I) If for any reason the second race
of the daily double is canceled or declared "no race" by the stewards
or judges after the first daily double race is declared official, then the net
daily double pool will be distributed to the wagering combinations which
include the horse or betting interest which finished first in the first daily
double race. If none were sold, then the net pool will be
distributed to those combinations which include the horse or wagering interest
which finished second in the first race and; if none, then the daily double
will be canceled and the complete pool will be refunded to those holding daily
double tickets. (J) Daily double wagering will close
at the start of the first race of the daily double and a complete report of the
wagering will be provided to the representative of the racing commission prior
to the second race of the double. (K) At every location on the premises
of each permit holder at which daily double tickets may be sold, a board or
alternate display device will be maintained within view of patrons who may
purchase daily double tickets at such location, upon which, as a preliminary to
the sale of daily double tickets, opening lines of approximate odds with
respect to both of the two races of the daily double will be posted, unless
official programs carry such opening lines of approximate odds. (L) Unless one or more horses will be
adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for first position in the first race
of a daily double, or unless subsequent to the running of the first race of the
daily double, the stewards or judges will order a horse or horses withdrawn
from the second race of the daily double, the payoff prices of the daily double
tickets representing the horse adjudged to have finished first in the first
race of the daily double and each of the horses which are expected to
participate in the second race of the daily double will be video displayed or
posted at a location designated for such purpose; and, if such prices so posted
will not be legible from the grandstand, they will be announced over a loud
speaker system if such a system has been installed and is in working
order. (M) If one or more horses have been
adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for first position in the first race
of a daily double, or if, subsequent to the running of the first race of a
daily double and prior to the displaying and announcing of payoff prices on the
daily double, pursuant to paragraph (L) of this rule, the stewards or judges
will order a horse or horses withdrawn from the second race of the daily
double, then because of the complicated calculations involved, the payoff
prices of the daily double tickets need not be posted or announced as required
in paragraph (L) of this rule. However, announcement of the fact that such
prices will not be posted or displayed and the reason thereof will be made
immediately after the first race. If any payoff prices on the daily double will
have been posted or announced prior to the ordering by the stewards or judges
of the withdrawal of a horse or horses, and if such posted prices become
incorrect and should be erased, the reason for such erasure will be displayed,
and a statement that such prices will not be applicable will be
announced.

Rule 3769-3-20 | Quinella wagering.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The object of the quinella is to
select in one combination, on a single ticket, the first two horses or separate
wagering interests (if there are entries or fields) to finish in a race as
officially posted. The order in which the horses finish is
immaterial. (B) The quinella is calculated as an
entirely separate pool and, except for the contingencies below, is calculated
in the same general manner as a win pool. (C) If a horse in a race on which
there is quinella wagering is excused by the stewards or judges, all monies
wagered on combinations which include this horse will be deducted from the
quinella pool and refunded to the purchaser of tickets on the horse unless such
horse is part of a field or entry (see paragraph (E) of rule 3769-3-02 of the
Administrative Code). (D) If no ticket is sold combining
the horses, or separate wagering interests, that finish first and second, then
the net pool will be calculated as a place pool between those having tickets
including the horse (wagering interest) that finished first and those having
tickets including the horse (wagering interest) that finished second. If no
tickets are sold on one such combination, then the net pool will be distributed
as a win pool to those holding tickets on the other combination. (E) In the event that a race on which
there is a quinella wagering should result in a dead heat for second place, the
payoffs will be calculated in the same manner as a place pool. In such a race,
if there is a dead heat in the win, the net quinella pool will be calculated
and distributed as a win pool to the holders of such tickets as selected both
horses adjudged to have finished in said dead heat. If more than two horses are
adjudged to have finished first in a dead heat for win, the amounts wagered on
all combinations of any two of the horses adjudged to have finished in such
dead heat will be deducted from the net pool to determine the profit which will
be divided into as many equal parts as there are combinations of any two
horses. Each part will be divided by the amount wagered on one such combination
to determine the profit per dollar, to which profit the wager will be added in
totaling the payoff. (F) In a quinella pool, if two horses
which are part of a field or entry finish in a dead heat for first then the
quinella pool is calculated as a win pool for the holders of those tickets
selecting the field or entry and the next separate betting interest as
officially posted. If such field or entry horses finish in a dead heat for
second, the quinella pool is calculated as a win pool for the holders of
tickets who selected the non-field or entry winning horse and the field or
entry. (G) If no ticket was sold that would
require distribution of a quinella pool to a winner or winners as defined
above, the permit holder will make a full refund of the quinella pool to those
who purchased quinella tickets.

Rule 3769-3-21 | Perfecta or exacta wagering.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The object of the perfecta, also
known as an exacta, is to select on a single ticket and, in a single
combination, the two horses or separate wagering interests (if there are fields
or entries) that subsequently finish first and second in a single race in the
exact order of finish as officially posted. (B) The perfecta is calculated as an
entirely separate pool and, except for the contingencies below is calculated in
the same general manner as a win pool. (C) In the event no ticket is sold in
the perfecta pool coupling the horses finishing first and second in the exact
order of official result, the net pool will be calculated as a win pool for
those who select ticket combinations in the exact order of official result in
the following order of priority: (1) (1-all) if none,
then (2) (all-2) if none,
then (3) (all-all) (refund) (D) In case of a dead heat between
two separate wagering interests for first place, the net perfecta pool will be
distributed as a place pool to those holders of tickets containing both
interests in either position. In case of a dead heat between two separate
wagering interests for second place, the perfecta pool will be calculated as a
place pool, the holders of the tickets combining the winning horse and the two
horses finishing second participating in the payoff. (E) In the event of a dead heat for
second place, if no ticket is sold on one of the two winning combinations, the
entire net pool will be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those
holding tickets on the other winning combination. If no tickets combine the
winning horse with either of the place horses in the dead heat, the perfecta
pool will be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets
selecting the winning horse to finish first and those selecting either of the
place horses in the dead heat to finish second. If entry or field horses run
first and second or in a dead heat for first, then the next separate wagering
interest is considered as the other half of the winning perfecta
combination(s). (F) If a horse in a race on which
there is perfecta wagering is excused by stewards or judges, all monies wagered
on combinations which include this horse will be deducted from the perfecta
pool and refunded to the purchaser of tickets on the horse, unless such horse
is part of a field or entry (see paragraph (E) of rule 3769-3-02 of the
Administrative Code). (G) If no ticket is sold that would
require distribution of a perfecta pool to a winner or winners as defined
above, the permit holder will make a full refund of the perfecta pool to those
who purchased perfecta tickets.

Promulgated Under:
Ch 119.
(A) The object of the trifecta is to select, in one combination and on one ticket, in exact order, the first, second and third place horses (or first, second and third separate wagering interests if entry or field horses are entered) as officially posted in the designated trifecta race. (B) The trifecta is calculated as an entirely separate pool and, except for the contingencies below, is calculated in the same general manner as a win pool. (C) If a horse is scratched or excused from racing, no further tickets shall be sold designating such horse and all tickets sold designating such horse shall be refunded immediately and the money deducted from the gross pool, except in the case of tickets with multiple bets, when the combinations containing the scratch horse shall be refunded after the race is official. The money thus refunded will be deducted from the gross pool. (D) When there is no ticket sold in the trifecta pool coupling the horses finishing first, second and third, in the exact order of official result, the net pool shall be apportioned equally to those who select correct ticket combinations in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-all) if none, then (2) (1-all-all) if none, then (3) (all-all-all) (refund) Failure to select the first horse to win shall cause a full refund of the trifecta pool to those who purchased trifecta tickets. (E) In the event of a dead heat for first place in a trifecta, the payoff price shall be calculated as in a place pool. The winning combinations shall include the first two horses finishing in either position and the horse finishing third. (1) In the event of a dead heat for second position in a trifecta, the payoff prices will be calculated as in a place pool. The winning combinations shall include the horse finishing first, and the two horses finishing in a dead heat for second, as finishing in either position. (2) In the case of a dead heat for third in a trifecta, the payoff prices will be calculated as in a place pool. The winning combinations shall include the horse finishing first, the horse finishing second, and either of the two horses finishing in a dead heat for third. (3) In the case of a dead heat where there is no winning ticket on one dead heat combination, the entire net pool will go to the other winning combination(s). (F) If entry or field horses are entered in a trifecta and finish in two or three of the first three positions or if such entry or field horses finish in a dead heat for the first, second or third position, then the next separate wagering interest or interests shall be selected so that the first three separate wagering interests are used in calculating the trifecta payoff for each eligible combination.

Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The object of the superfecta is
to select in exact order, on one ticket and in one combination, the first,
second, third, and fourth horses (or separate betting interests if field or
entries are involved), as officially posted, of a single designated race.
Permit holders may give different names to this type of wagering but have to
notify the commission of the names selected. (B) The superfecta is calculated as
an entirely separate pool and except for the contingencies below is generally
calculated as a win pool. (C) If a horse or horses are
scratched or excused by the stewards or judges, all money wagered on

pool and returned to the purchasers of such tickets unless such horse or horses
are part of a field or entry and other horses remain in the entry or
field. (D) If no ticket is sold combining
the first four horses in exact order as officially posted, then payoffs shall
be made to those who select correct ticket combinations in the following order
of priority: (1) (1-2-3-all) if none,
then (2) (1-2-all-all) if none,
then (3) (1-all-all-all) if none,
then (4) (all-all-all-all)
refund Failure of anyone to select the first horse to
win will result in a complete refund of the superfecta pool to all purchasers
of superfecta tickets. (E) If, for any reason, less than
four horses finish, the pay-off shall be made to those holding tickets
selecting the horse or horses that do finish in exact order and priority of
paragraph (D) of this rule. (F) In the event of a dead heat or
dead heats, all superfecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish,
counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in any position involved in the
dead heat, will be winning tickets, and distribution shall be made as in a
place pool. If fields or entries are involved in the dead heat, the first four
separate wagering interests will comprise the winning
combination(s).

Rule 3769-3-24 | Twin trifecta wagering.
Effective:
January 1, 2004
(A) The object of the twin trifecta is to select, in one combination on one ticket, the first three horses (or the first, second and third separate wagering interests if there are entry or field horses entered), in exact order as officially posted, in the first designated race. Then, after exchanging such winning tickets, to select three horses to finish in exact order as officially posted, in the second designated race. Permit holders may give different names to this wager, but should notify the commission of such choice of names. Not more than two races may elapse between the first and second races of this wager, and such races must be clearly designated in the program. (B) The twin trifecta will be calculated as an entirely separate pool and will be calculated in the general manner of a win pool. (C) After wagering closes for the first race of the designated two races of the twin trifecta, all applicable commissions will be deducted from the pool in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio. The remaining net pool will then be divided into two separate pools of equal amounts. (D) The money in the first part of the divided pool will be distributed to the holders of the twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three horses in exact order of finish, in the first designated twin trifecta race. The term "first part of divided pool" shall mean one half of the net distributable pool of the total money wagered in the twin trifecta on the current day's program only. Specifically excluded therefrom shall be any carryover of any twin trifecta pool from any previous day's program. (E) The second half of the divided pool will be placed in a separate pool to be distributed to the holders of "second half" twin trifecta tickets selecting the first three horses, in exact order, on the second designated twin trifecta race. (F) In the first race of the twin trifecta only, except on mandatory payout days, if there is a failure to select the first three horses, in exact order of finish, no exchange tickets will be issued and only monetary payoffs shall be made on twin trifecta tickets selecting horses in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-all) if none, then (2) (1-all-all) Failure of any ticket to select one of the above combinations will result in a complete refund of that day's twin trifecta pool to all persons holding current twin trifecta tickets (all-all-all). Any ticket within the applicable order of priority as aforesaid shall be deemed a winning ticket entitling the holder thereof to the applicable payoff from the first part of the divided pool. On mandatory payout days only, if no ticket selects the first three horses in exact order, the above order of priority will be used to issue an exchange ticket as well as pay the applicable share of the first part of the divided pool. (G) After the official declaration of the first three horses to finish in the first race of the twin trifecta, each bettor holding a winning ticket must, prior to the running of the second designated race of the twin trifecta, exchange such winning ticket for both: (1) the monetary value from the first part of the divided pool, as established by the mutuel department of the permit holder, and (2) a twin trifecta exchange ticket which designates the bettor's selection of the three horses for finish in that order in the second designated race of the twin trifecta. No further money shall be required of the holder of the winning ticket in order to make the exchange. Until the second race of the twin trifecta has been declared official, no person shall disclose the number of winning twin trifecta tickets eligible for exchange in the second twin trifecta race, nor shall any person disclose any information regarding those tickets during the exchange process. (H) No twin trifecta exchange tickets upon the second race of the twin trifecta shall be issued except upon surrender of the winning twin trifecta ticket from the first race of the twin trifecta as described in this rule. Windows for the purpose of cashing and exchanging twin trifecta tickets shall be open only after the first race of the twin trifecta has been declared official and such windows shall close when wagering closes for the race designated as the second race of the twin trifecta. (I) If a winning twin trifecta ticket from the first race is not presented for cashing and exchange within the time provided above, the bettor may still collect the monetary value attached to the ticket but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second race twin trifecta pool. (J) If a horse is scratched or declared a nonstarter in the first race of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta tickets issued which include the scratched horse will be refunded. If a horse is scratched late in the second race of the twin trifecta, public address announcements will be made and a reasonable time, as determined by the mutuel manager and presiding judge, will be given for exchange of tickets on the scratched horse. If such an announcement and reasonable time cannot be made, the stewards may provide for the distribution of the second part of the program's divided pool as provided for in paragraph (M) of this rule. A horse which is declared a non-starter in the second race of the twin trifecta shall be deemed a starter for the purposes of paragraphs (L) and (N) of this rule. (K) In the event of a dead heat or dead heats in either the first or second half of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in any position deadheated shall be winning tickets. In the case of a dead heat occurring in either the first or last half of the twin trifecta, the pools shall be calculated as a place pool. (L) In the event there is no twin trifecta ticket issued accurately selecting the officially declared first three finishers of the second twin trifecta race in the exact order, such second race pool, as divided earlier, shall be held for the next consecutive racing day program and combined with that program's second race twin trifecta pool. This sum shall be termed the "carryover jackpot." Distribution of this special cumulative second race twin trifecta pool shall be made only upon the accurate selection, in exact order, of the first three officially declared finishers of the designated second race of the twin trifecta except on designated mandatory payout performances (see paragraph (N) of this rule). (M) If, for any reason, the second half of the twin trifecta contest is officially cancelled or officially declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning twin trifecta tickets shall be entitled to the remaining amount of the current program's divided pool. The carryover pool will remain undistributed. (N) On a mandatory distribution performance, the current carryover jackpot plus the second half pool from the program will be combined and distributed to the holders of exchange tickets who selected horses in exact official order of finish in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-3) if none, then (2) (1-2-all) if none, then (3) (1-all-all) if none, then (4) (all-all-all) (O) On a scheduled mandatory distribution performance, if there are no first half tickets selecting one of the combinations in paragraph (F) of this rule, then aside from the refund of all twin trifecta tickets referred to in paragraph (F) of this rule, the current carryover jackpot will not be distributed, but will carry over to the next racing day. That next day must also be designated a mandatory distribution performance for which the same order of priority rules in paragraph (F) of this rule apply. When advertising a mandatory distribution performance, permit holders should include a disclaimer covering this one exception. (P) On a scheduled mandatory payout day, if the second half of the twin trifecta contest is officially cancelled or declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning twin trifecta tickets will be entitled to share in the carryover pool. (Q) Sales of twin trifecta tickets other than from the permit holder's ticket-issuing machines or from one individual to another shall be deemed illegal and prohibited. Exchange tickets shall be nontransferable. Holders of transferred exchange tickets shall not be entitled to any winnings. Persons involved in the unauthorized transfer of exchange tickets shall be subject to ejection from the parimutuel facility.

Rule 3769-3-25 | Tri-super wagering.
Effective:
January 1, 2004
(A) The object of the tri-super is to select in one combination, and on one ticket, three horses or separate betting interests (if field or entry horses are involved), that will finish first, second, and third in exact order, as officially posted, in the first designated race. Then, after exchanging such winning tickets, select four horses or betting interests that will finish first, second, third, and fourth in exact order in the second designated race, as officially posted. Permit holders may give different names to this type of wagering but should notify the commission of such choice of names. Not more than one race may elapse between the first and second races of this wager and such races must be clearly designated in the program. (B) The tri-super is calculated as an entirely separate pool and is calculated as a win pool. (C) After wagering closes on the first half of the tri-super, the commission on the pool will be deducted in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio and the remaining net pool will be divided into two separate pools of equal amounts. (D) The money in the first part of the divided pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the first three horses in exact order of the first race of the designated tri-super. The term "first part of divided pool" refers to one-half of the net pool of the total money wagered in the tri-super on the current day's program only, and specifically excludes any cumulative pool from previous days' programs. (E) The second half of the net pool will be placed in a separate pool, called the carryover pool, for those holders of "second-half" tickets that select the first four horses in exact order in the second designated race. (F) In the first designated race only, except on mandatory payout days, if no ticket is sold selecting the first three finishers in exact order, no exchange tickets will be issued and only monetary payoffs will be paid to those winners selecting finishers in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-all) if none, then (2) (1-all-all) Any ticket within the applicable order of priority as aforesaid shall be deemed a winning ticket entitling the holder thereof to the applicable payoff from the first part of the divided pool. If none of the above combinations produce a winning ticket, the tri-super shall be canceled for the day and a complete refund of the day's tri-super pool shall be made to all holding valid tri-super tickets (all-all-all). On mandatory payout days only, if no ticket selects the first three horses of the first race of the tri-super in exact order, the above order order, of priority will be used to issue an exchange ticket as well as pay the applicable share of the first part of the divided pool. (G) In the event of a dead heat in either the first or second race of the tri-super, all tickets with the correct order of finish counting a horse in the dead heat as finishing in any position dead-heated shall be a winning ticket and the payoff shall be calculated as a place pool. In the case of a dead heat where there is no winning ticket on one dead heat combination, the entire net pool will go to the other winning combination(s). (H) After the first race of the designated tri-super is declared official, each bettor holding a winning ticket must, prior to the second designated race, exchange such ticket for the monetary value as determined by the mutuel department and a tri-super exchange ticket selecting the first four finishers of the second designated race in exact order. No further money shall be required to make such exchange. Until the second race of the tri-super has been declared official, no person shall disclose the number of winning tri-super tickets eligible for exchange in the second tri-super race, nor shall any person disclose any information regarding those tickets during the exchange process. (I) No tri-super exchange ticket can be issued except upon surrender of a winning ticket from the first race of the tri-super as described above. If a winning ticket from the first race is not presented for cashing and exchange before the closing of the second race, the holder may still collect the monetary value but forfeits all right to any distribution of the second race pool of the tri-super. (J) If a horse is scratched or declared a non-starter in either race of this wager before the running of the first race, all tri-super tickets on the scratched horse or horses will be refunded and reasonable time will be made available for new selections. If a horse is scratched in the second race after the first race has become official and the exchange has begun, then all tri-super exchange tickets on the scratched horse or horses may be re-exchanged. If a horse is scratched late in the second race of the tri-super, public address announcements will be made and reasonable time, as determined by the mutuel manager and state steward, will be allowed for such exchange. If such an announcement and reasonable time cannot be made, the stewards may provide for the distribution of the second part of the programs divided pool as provided for in paragraph (L) of this rule. A horse which is declared a non-starter in the second race of the tri-super shall be deemed a starter for the purposes of paragraphs (K) and (N) of this rule. (K) In the event there is no tri-super exchange ticket selecting the first four horses in exact order as officially posted, the second half of the divided pool shall be held for the next consecutive racing program and placed in the carryover pool. Distribution of this pool will be only to those who select the first four runners of the second designated race of the tri-super in exact order as officially posted, unless there is a "mandatory" payout. (L) If, for any reason, the second half of the tri-super contest is officially cancelled or officially declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning tri-super tickets shall be entitled to the remaining amount of the current program's divided pool. The carryover pool will remain undistributed. (M) On a scheduled mandatory payout performance, first half tickets must select one combination in order of priority in paragraph (F) of this rule. If there are no first half tickets with such selections, then aside from the refund of all tri-super tickets referred to in paragraph (F) of this rule, the carryover jackpot will not be distributed but will carry over to the next racing day. The next day will also be designated a mandatory payoff performance for which the same order of priority in paragraph (F) of this rule will apply. When advertising such a mandatory payoff distribution, permit holders should include a disclaimer covering this one exception. (N) On a scheduled mandatory distribution performance, the current carryover jackpot plus the second half pool from the current program will be combined and distributed equally to holders of exchange tickets selecting horses in exact official order of finish in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-3-4) if none, then (2) (1-2-3-all) if none, then (3) (1-2-all-all) if none, then (4) (1-all-all-all) if none, then (5) (all-all-all-all) (O) On a scheduled mandatory payout day, if the second half of the tri-super contest is officially cancelled or declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning tri-super tickets will be entitled to share in the carryover pool. (P) Sales of tri-super tickets other than from the permit holder's ticket-issuing machines or from one individual to another shall be deemed illegal and prohibited. Exchange tickets shall be nontransferable. Holders of transferred exchange tickets shall not be entitled to any winnings. Persons involved in the unauthorized transfer of exchange tickets shall be subject to ejection from the pari-mutuel facility.

(A) The object of the twin-super is to select the four horses, or separate betting interests (if field or entry horses are involved), that will finish first, second, third, and fourth in exact order, as officially posted, in the first designated race. Then, after exchanging such winning tickets, select four horses or betting interests that will finish first, second, third, and fourth in exact order in the second designated race, as officially posted.

(C) After wagering closes on the first half of the twin-super, the commission on the pool will be deducted in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio and the remaining net pool will be divided into two separate pools of equal amounts. (D) The money in the first part of the divided pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the first four horses in exact order of the first race of the designated twin-super. The term "first part of divided pool" refers to one-half of the net distributable pool of the total money wagered in the twin-super on the current day's program only and specifically excludes any cumulative pool from previous day's programs. (E) The second half of the distributable pool will be placed in a separate pool, called the carryover pool, for those holders of "second-half" tickets that select the first four horses in exact order in the second designated race. (F) In the first race of the twin-super only, except on mandatory payout days, if no ticket is sold selecting the first four horses in exact order, as officially posted, no exchange tickets will be issued and only monetary payoffs will be made to those having tickets selecting, in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-3-all) if none, then (2) (1-2-all-all) if none, then (3) (1-all-all-all) Any ticket within the applicable order of priority as aforesaid shall be deemed a winning ticket entitling the holder thereof to the applicable payoff from the first part of the divided pool. If none of the above produce a winning ticket, a complete refund of the twin-super pool for the day will be made to those holding valid twin-super tickets (all-all-all-all) and the twin-super will be canceled for that racing program. On mandatory payout days only, if no ticket selects the first four horses of the first race of the twin-super, in exact order, the above order of priority will be used to issue an exchange ticket as well as pay the applicable share of the first part of the divided pool. (G) In the event of a dead heat in either the first or second race of the twin-super, all tickets with the correct order of finish counting a horse in a dead heat as finishing in any position dead-heated, shall be a winning ticket and the payoff shall be calculated as a place pool. In the case of a dead heat where there is no winning ticket on one dead heat combination, the entire net pool will go to the other winning combination(s). (H) After the first race of the designated twin-super is declared official, each bettor holding a winning ticket must, prior to the second designated race, exchange such ticket for the monetary value as determined by the mutuel department and a twin-super exchange ticket selecting the first four finishers of the second designated race in exact order. No further money shall be required to make such exchange. Until the second race of the twin-super has been declared official, no person shall disclose the number of winning twin-super tickets eligible for exchange in the second twin-super race, nor shall any person disclose any information regarding those tickets during the exchange process. (I) No twin-super exchange ticket can be issued except upon surrender of a winning ticket from the first race of the twin-super as described above. If a winning ticket from the first race is not presented for cashing and exchange before the closing of the second race, the holder may still collect the monetary value but forfeits all right to any distribution of the second race pool. (J) If a horse is scratched or declared a non-starter in either race of this wager before the running of the first race, all twin-super tickets on the scratched horse or horses will be refunded and a reasonable time will be made available for new selections. If a horse is scratched in the second race after the first race has become official and the exchange has begun, then all twin-super exchange tickets on the scratched horse or horses may be re-exchanged. Public address announcements will be made and a reasonable time, as determined by the mutuel manager and state steward, will be allowed for such exchange. If such an announcement and reasonable time cannot be made, the stewards may provide for the distribution of the second part of the program's divided pool as provided for in paragraph (L) of this rule. A horse which is declared a non-starter in the second race of the twin-super shall be deemed a starter for the purposes of paragraphs (K) and (N) of this rule. (K) In the event there is no twin-super exchange ticket selecting the first four horses in exact order as officially posted, the second half of the divided pool shall be held for the next consecutive racing program and placed in the carryover pool. Distribution of this pool will be only to those who select the first four horses of the second designated race in exact order as officially posted unless there is a mandatory payout. (L) If, for any reason, the second half of the twin-super contest is officially cancelled or officially declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning twin-super tickets shall be entitled to the remaining amount of the current program's divided pool. The carryover pool will remain undistributed. (M) On a scheduled mandatory payout performance, first half tickets must select one combination in order of priority in paragraph (F) of this rule. If there are no first half tickets with such selections, then aside from the refund of all twin-super tickets referred to in paragraph (F) of this rule, the carry-over jackpot will not be distributed but will carry over to the next racing day. The next day will also be designated a mandatory payoff performance for which the same order of priority in paragraph (F) of this rule will apply. When advertising such a mandatory payoff distribution, permit holders should include a disclaimer covering this one exception. (N) On a scheduled mandatory distribution performance, the current carryover jackpot plus the second-half pool from the current program will be combined and distributed equally to holders of exchange tickets in exact official order of finish in the following order of priority: (1) (1-2-3-4) if none, then (2) (1-2-3-all) if none, then (3) (1-2-all-all) if none, then (4) (1-all-all-all) if none, then (5) (all-all-all-all) (O) On a scheduled mandatory payout day, if the second half of the twin-super contest is officially cancelled or declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first half winning twin-super tickets will be entitled to share in the carryover pool. (P) Sales of twin-super tickets other than from the permit holder's ticket-issuing machines or from one individual to another shall be deemed illegal and prohibited. Exchange tickets shall be nontransferable. Holders of transferred exchange tickets shall not be entitled to any winnings. Persons involved in the unauthorized transfer of exchange tickets shall be subject to ejection from the parimutuel facility.

(C) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the three contests involving: (1) Contestants representing the same betting interest, the win three pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants representing two or more betting interests, the win three pool shall be distributed as follows. (a) As a profit split to those whose selections finished first in each of the three contests; but if there are no such wagers, then; (b) As a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in any two of the three contests; but if there are no such wagers, then; (c) As a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in any one of the three contests; but if there are no such wagers, then; (d) The entire win three pool shall be refunded. (D) Should a betting interest be scratched from a leg of the win three all bets with the scratched betting interest will be handled as follows: (1) If the scratch (which herein after includes being declared a non-starter or a non-betting starter) was made prior to the start of the first leg, all bets containing such scratched betting interest shall be refunded to determine the gross pool an removed from further consideration in the pool; (2) If the scratch was made in the second leg after the start of the first leg, a consolation payoff shall be computed for those bets combining the winners of the first and third legs with the scratched betting interest as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the statutory take-out and then the amount represented by the bets on combinations involving betting interests scratched from the third leg (reduced by the take-out thereon). The resulting remainder shall be divided by the amounts bet on the combination of such first and third leg winners with all betting interests (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those bets combining winners of the first and third legs with the betting interest scratched in the second leg. The break shall not be deduced from the pool. (3) If a betting interest is scratched in the third leg after the start of the first leg, a consolation payoff shall be computed as for those bets combining the winners of the first and second legs with such scratched betting interest as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the statutory take-out and then the amount represented by bets on combinations involving betting interests scratched from the second leg (reduced by the rate of the take-out thereon). The resulting remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the combination of such first and second leg winners with all betting interests in the third leg (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those bets combining winners of the first and second legs with an betting interest scratched in the third leg. The breaks shall not be deducted from the pool. (4) If betting interests are scratched in both the second and third legs after the start of the first leg, a consolation payoff shall be computed for those bets combining the winner of the first leg with the betting interests scratched in both the second and third legs as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the takeout and the remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the winner of the first leg combined with all other betting interests (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those tickets combining the winner of the first leg with the scratch betting interests from both the second and third legs. (E) If all three win three contests are cancelled or declared "no contest," the entire pool shall be refunded on win three wagers for those contests. (F) If one or two of the win three contests are cancelled or declared "no contest," the win three pool will remain valid and shall be distributed in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule. (G) If the win three pool is distributed according to paragraph (C)(2)(b) or (C)(2)(c) of this rule a public announcement shall be made as to the possible winning three combinations.

Rule 3769-3-28 | Pick (n) pools.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The pick (n) requires selection of
the first-place finisher in each of a designated number of contests. The
association has to obtain written approval from the commission concerning the
scheduling of pick (n) contests, the designation of one of the methods
prescribed in paragraph (B) of this rule and the amount of any cap to be set on
the carryover. Any changes to the approved pick (n) format needs prior approval
from the commission. (B) The pick (n) pool will be apportioned
under one of the following methods: (1) Method one, pick (n)
with carryover: The net pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place
finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. If there are no such wagers, then a designated percentage of the net
pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the
first-place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests; and the
remainder will be added to the carryover. (2) Method two, pick (n)
with minor pool and carryover: The major share of the net pick (n) pool and the
carryover, if any, will be distributed to those who selected the first-place
finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. The minor share of the net pick (n) pool will be distributed to those
who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n)
contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers
selecting the first-place finisher of all pick (n) contests, the minor share of
the net pick (n) pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests;
and the major share will be added to the carryover. (3) Method three, pick
(n) with no minor pool and no carryover: The net pick (n) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place
finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official
order of finish. If there are no winning wagers, the pool is
refunded. (4) Method four, pick (n)
with minor pool and no carryover: The major share of the net pick (n) pool will
be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest
number of pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor
share of the net pick (n) pool will be distributed to those who selected the
first-place finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based
upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the
first-place finisher in a second greatest number of pick (n) contests, the
minor share of the net pick (n) pool will be combined with the major share for
distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place
finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. If the greatest number of
first-place finishers selected is one, the major and minor shares are combined
for distribution as a single price pool. If there are no winning wagers, the
pool is refunded. (5) Method five, pick (n)
with minor pool and no carryover: The major share of net pick (n) pool will be
distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the pick
(n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the
net pick (n) pool will be distributed to those who selected the first-place
finisher in the second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based upon the
official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place
finisher in all pick (n) contests, the entire net pick (n) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place
finisher in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. If there are no wagers
selecting the first-place finisher in a second greatest number of pick (n)
contests, the minor share of the net pick (n) pool will be combined with the
major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the
first-place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests. If there are no winning
wagers, the pool is refunded. (6) Method six, pick (n)
with minor pool, jackpot pool, major carryover and jackpot carryover:
Predetermined percentages of the net pick (n) pool will be set aside as a major
pool, minor pool and jackpot pool. The major share of the net pick (n) pool and
the major carryover, if any, will be distributed to those who selected the
first-place finisher of each of the pick (n) contests, based on the official
order of finish. If there are no tickets selecting the first-place finisher in
each of the pick (n) contests, the major net pool will be added to the major
carryover. If there is only one single ticket selecting the first-place
finisher of each of the pick (n) contests, based on the official order of
finish, the jackpot share of the net pick (n) pool and the jackpot carryover,
if any, will be distributed to the holder of that single ticket, along with the
major net pool and the major carryover, if any. If more than one ticket selects
the first-place finisher of each of the pick (n) contests the jackpot net pool
will be added to the jackpot carryover. The minor share of the net pick (n)
pool will be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher of the
second greatest number of pick (n) contests, based on the official order of
finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher of all pick
(n) contests, the minor net pool of the pick (n) pool will be distributed as a
single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher of the
greatest number of pick (n) contests. (C) If there is a dead heat for first in
any of the pick (n) contests involving: (1) Contestants
representing the same betting interest, the pick (n) pool will be distributed
as if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants
representing two or more betting interests, the pick (n) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal
share of the profit. (D) Should a betting interest in any of
the pick (n) contests be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total
amounts wagered in the win pool at the host association for the contest at the
close of wagering on that contest, will be substituted for the scratched
betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event
that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute
selection will be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The
totalizator will produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with
substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the
substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination. (E) The pick (n) pool will be cancelled
and all pick (n) wagers for the individual performance will be refunded
if: (1) At least two contests
included as part of a pick three are cancelled or declared "no
contest." (2) At least three
contests included as part of a pick four, pick five or pick six are cancelled
or declared "no contest." (3) At least four
contests included as part of a pick seven, pick eight or pick nine are
cancelled or declared "no contest." (4) At least five
contests included as part of a pick 10 are cancelled or declared "no
contest." (F) If at least one contest included as
part of a pick (n) is cancelled or declared "no contest", but not
more than the number specified in paragraph (E) of this rule, the net pool will
be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first
in the greatest number of pick (n) contests for that performance. Such
distribution will include the portion ordinarily retained for the pick (n)
carryover but not the carryover from previous performances. (G) If the condition of the course
warrants a change of racing surface in any of the legs of the pick (n) races,
and such change was not known to the public prior to the closing of wagering
for the pick (n) pool, the stewards or judges will declare the changed leg(s) a
"no contest" for pick (n) wagering purposes only. A "no
contest" race is not to be considered as a contested race. (H) The pick (n) carryover may be capped
at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of
any performance, the amount in the pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the
designated cap, the pick (n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or
distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the pick (n) carryover
is frozen, one hundred per cent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would
be added to the pick (n) carryover, will be distributed to those whose
selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests for that
performance. (I) A written request for permission to
distribute the pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to
the commission. The request has to contain justification for the distribution,
an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and
performance for the distribution. (J) Should the pick (n) carryover be
designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there
are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the pick (n)
contests, the entire pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those
whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. The
pick (n) carryover will be designated for distribution on a specified date and
performance only under the following circumstances: (1) Upon written approval
from the commission as provided in paragraph (I) of this rule. (2) Upon written approval
from the commission when there is a change in the carryover cap, a change from
one type of pick (n) wagering to another, or when the pick (n) is
discontinued. (3) On the closing
performance of the meet or split meet. (K) If, for any reason, the pick (n)
carryover has to be held over to the corresponding pick (n) pool of a
subsequent meet, the carryover will be deposited in an interest-bearing account
approved by the commission. The pick (n) carryover plus accrued interest will
then be added to the net pick (n) pool of the following meet on a date and
performance so designated by the commission. (L) With the written approval of the
commission, the association may contribute to the pick (n) carryover a sum of
money up to the amount of any designated cap. (M) Providing information to any person
regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations,
number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining is strictly
prohibited. This will not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator
and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data. (N) The association may suspend
previously-approved pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the
commission. Any carryover will be held until the suspended pick (n) wagering is
reinstated. An association may request approval of a pick (n) wager or separate
wagering pool for specific performances.

Rule 3769-3-30 | Quinella double and perfecta double wagering.
Promulgated Under:
Ch 119.
(A) The object of these wagers is to select a quinella as defined in paragraph (A) of rule 3769-3-20 or a perfecta as defined in paragraph (A) of rule 3769-3-21 of the Administrative Code in each of two consecutive races prior to the first race of the consecutive races with no exchange of tickets between the first and second race. Permit holders may use other names for these wagers but the commission must be notified of such name changes. (B) These pools are entirely separate pools and are generally calculated as a win pool. (C) If a horse is scratched prior to the first race of each type of wager, all tickets sold on the scratch horse will be refunded. (D) In either wager, if a horse is scratched after the first race is run, all tickets combining winning combination(s) in the first race with the scratched horse in the second shall become consolation tickets and will be paid that fraction of the net pool derived by dividing the net pool by the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winners of the first race of the particular wager. The total payoff on all tickets combining the winners of the first race of either wager with the scratched horse in the second race of either wager as determined by the method set forth in this rule shall be deducted from the net pool. (E) In either wager, if there is a dead heat for win or place in the first race, combinations eligible for payoffs in regular quinellas (see paragraphs (D) and (E) of rule 3769-3-20) and perfectas (see paragraphs (D) and (E) of rule 3769-3-21 of the Administrative Code) respectively will be considered eligible for participation in the second race of the quinella double or perfecta double. (F) In the event of a dead heat for win or place in the second race of these wagers, the pool will be calculated and distributed as a place pool to those having selected the first race correctly and those having selected the combinations in the second race that would be eligible for a payoff in either a regular quinella or perfecta respectively. (G) If, for any reason, the first race is canceled or declared no contest, in either wager, a full and complete refund of the appropriate pool shall be made. (H) If the second race of either wager is canceled, the pool shall be calculated as a win pool and distributed to those holding tickets combining the winning horses in the first race of the wager.

by the account holder to the permit holder is deemed to be the proper address
for the purposes of mailing checks, statements of account, account withdrawals,
notices, or other appropriate correspondence. (b) The mailing of checks or other
correspondence to the address given by the account holder will be the sole risk
of the account holder. (5) At the time of applying for a
telephone deposit account, each person will select a code word to be used as
identification when wagering. Both the permit holder and the account holder
have the right to change this code word at any time without explanation by
informing the other party in writing of said change and the effective date
thereof. (6) Each deposit account will have a
unique identifying account number. Such number may be changed at any time
provided the permit holder informs the account holder in writing of the
change. (7) The permit holder reserves the
right to refuse deposits to accounts for any reason whatsoever. (8) The permit holder has the right

the permit holder may require. Signed requests for withdrawals from existing
accounts will be processed within seven days of the date of the request and the
withdrawal amount sent to the account holder. (1) Checks may be offered for a
deposit in a deposit account, however, the check will not be posted to the
credit of the account holder until cleared by the bank upon which the check is

deceased, funds in the account will be released to the decedent's legal
representative upon receipt of a copy of a valid death certificate and such tax
releases, probate court authorizations and other documents required by
applicable laws. (E) Telephone wagers will be accepted
on those days that the permit holder is conducting live racing at its track as
designated by the commission. (1) Notwithstanding any other rules,
the managing employee of the permit holder's telephone account wagering
system may at any time, upon prior approval of the commission, declare the
telephone account wagering system closed for receiving telephone wagers on any
pari-mutuel pool, race, group of races, or closed for all
wagering. (2) The permit holder has the right
at any time and for what it deems good and sufficient reason to refuse to
accept all or part of any wager. (3) Except as otherwise provided in
the Administrative Code, all telephone wagers are final and no wager will be
cancelled at any time after the wager has been accepted by the telephone
account wagering system, unless the race on which the wager was made is
cancelled. Should equipment in use in the telephone account wagering system
have ready cancellation capability of single wagers, cancellations may be
permitted but only during the single wagering conversation in which the wager
to be cancelled was made. Once a wagering conversation has ended, all wagers
made in such conversation are final and irrevocable. (F) All wagering conversations will
be recorded by the permit holder and the tapes of said conversation kept for a
period of forty-five days following the close of each meet. These wagering
conversation tapes will be made available immediately to any member of the Ohio
state racing commission or any commission employee upon request. (G) Payment on winning pari-mutuel
telephone wagers will be posted to the credit of the account holder
automatically as soon as practicable after the race is declared
official. (H) The permit holder will, within
thirty days of the close of each meet, or at any time there is no racing at
that track for a period of more than thirty days, provide written statements of
account activity to all account holders. In addition, an account holder has the
right to request and be provided a statement at any time. Unless written notice
to the contrary is received by the permit holder within twenty-one days of the
date that any such statement is mailed to an account holder, said statement
will be deemed accepted as correct in any and all particulars. (I) Except to a member of the Ohio
state racing commission or any Ohio state racing commission employee, no
employee of the permit holder will divulge any confidential information related
to the placing of any wager or any confidential information related to the
operation of the telephone account wagering system. (J) The commission will determine the
acceptability of the telephone account wagering system's equipment
configuration. Any telephone communication system, whether touch tone, voice
response, or operator controlled, has to be linked to the permit holders
totalization system in a manner approved by the commission. (K) No televised racing signal, used
in conjunction with telephone account wagering, will be sent into any area
within fifty miles of a commercial permit holder's race track during the
hours that live racing is being conducted that day at such race track, and one
hour prior thereto, unless the permit holder at such track gives its prior
written consent to the transmission of the racing signal into the involved
fifty mile area. (L) From each telephone wager, there
will be deducted the same percentage as is deducted on a wager made in person
at the permit holder's race track.

Rule 3769-3-34 | Place pick (n) pools.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The place pick (n) requires selection
of the first or second-place finisher in each of a designated number of
contests. The association has to obtain written approval from the commission
concerning the scheduling of place pick (n) contests, the designation of one of
the methods prescribed in paragraph (B) of this rule, the distinctive name
identifying the pool and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any
changes to the approved place pick (n) format needs to have prior approval from
the commission. (B) The place pick (n) pool will be
apportioned under one of the following methods: (1) Method one, place
pick (n) with carryover: The net place pick (n) pool and carryover, if any,
will be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first or
second-place finisher in each of the place pick (n) contests, based upon the
official order of finish. If there are no such wagers, then a designated
percentage of the net pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those
who selected the first or second-place finisher in the greatest number of place
pick (n) contests; and the remainder will be added to the
carryover. (2) Method two, place
pick (n) with minor pool and carryover: The major share of the net place pick
(n) pool and the carryover, if any, will be distributed to those who selected
the first or second-place finisher in each of the place pick (n) contests,
based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net place pick
(n) pool will be distributed to those who selected the first or second-place
finisher in the second greatest number of place pick (n) contests, based upon
the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first or
second-place finisher of all place pick (n) contests, the minor share of the
net place pick (n) pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected the first or second-place finisher in the greatest number of place
pick (n) contests; and the major share will be added to the
carryover. (3) Method three, place
pick (n) with no minor pool and no carryover: The net place pick (n) pool will
be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first or
second-place finisher in the greatest number of place pick (n) contests, based
upon the official order of finish. If there are no winning wagers, the pool is
refunded. (4) Method four, place
pick (n) with minor pool and no carryover: The major share of the net place
pick (n) pool will be distributed to those who selected the first or
second-place finisher in the greatest number of place pick (n) contests, based
upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net place pick (n)
pool will be distributed to those who selected the first or second-place
finisher in the second greatest number of place pick (n) contests, based upon
the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first or
second-place finisher in a second greatest number of place pick (n) contests,
the minor share of the net place pick (n) pool will be combined with the major
share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first
or second-place finisher in the greatest number of place pick (n) contests. If
the greatest number of first or second-place finishers selected is one, the
major and minor shares are combined for distribution as a single price pool. If
there are no winning wagers, the pool is refunded. (5) Method five, place
pick (n) with minor pool and no carryover: The major share of net place pick
(n) pool will be distributed to those who selected the first or second-place
finisher in each of the place pick (n) contests, based upon the official order
of finish. The minor share of the net place pick (n) pool will be distributed
to those who selected the first or second-place finisher in the second greatest
number of place pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If
there are no wagers selecting the first or second-place finisher in all place
pick (n) contests, the entire net place pick (n) pool will be distributed as a
single price pool to those who selected the first or second-place finisher in
the greatest number of place pick (n) contests. If there are no wagers
selecting the first or second-place finisher in a second greatest number of
place pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net place pick (n) pool will be
combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those
who selected the first or second-place finisher in each of the place pick (n)
contests. If there are no winning wagers, the pool is refunded. (C) If there is a dead heat for first in
any of the place pick (n) contests involving: (1) Contestants
representing the same betting interest, the place pick (n) pool will be
distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants
representing two or more betting interests, the place pick (n) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool with a winning wager including each betting
interest participating in the dead heat. (D) If there is a dead heat for second in
any of the place pick (n) contests involving: (1) Contestants
representing the same betting interest, the place pick (n) pool will be
distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants
representing two or more betting interests, the place pick (n) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool with a winning wager including the betting
interest which finished first or any betting interest involved in the dead heat
for second. (E) Should a betting interest in any of
the place pick (n) contests be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by
total amounts wagered in the win pool at the host association for the contest
at the close of wagering on that contest, will be substituted for the scratched
betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event
that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute
selection will be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The
totalizator will produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with
substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the
substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination. (F) The place pick (n) pool will be
cancelled and all place pick (n) wagers for the individual performance will be
refunded if: (1) At least two contests
included as part of a place pick three are cancelled or declared "no
contest". (2) At least three
contests included as part of a place pick four, place pick five or place pick
six are cancelled or declared "no contest." (3) At least four
contests included as part of a place pick seven, place pick eight or place pick
nine are cancelled or declared "no contest." (4) At least five
contests included as part of a place pick ten are cancelled or declared
"no contest". (G) If at least one contest included as
part of a place pick (n) is cancelled or declared "no contest," but
not more than the number specified in Paragraph (F) of this rule, the net pool
will be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished
first or second in the greatest number of place pick (n) contests for that
performance. Such distribution will include the portion ordinarily retained for
the place pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous
performances. (H) The place pick (n) carryover may be
capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the
close of any performance, the amount in the place pick (n) carryover equals or
exceeds the designated cap, the place pick (n) carryover will be frozen until
it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the place
pick (n) carryover is frozen, one hundred per cent of the net pool, part of
which ordinarily would be added to the place pick (n) carryover, will be
distributed to those whose selection finished first or second in the greatest
number of place pick (n) contests for that performance. (I) A written request for permission to
distribute the place pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be
submitted to the commission. The request has to contain justification for the
distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended
date and performance for the distribution. (J) Should the place pick (n) carryover
be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which
there are no wagers selecting the first or second-place finisher in each of the
place pick (n) contests, the entire pool will be distributed as a single price
pool to those whose selection finished first or second in the greatest number
of place pick (n) contests. The place pick (n) carryover will be designated for
distribution on a specified date and performance under any of the following
circumstances: (1) Upon written approval
from the commission as provided in paragraph (I) of this rule. (2) Upon written approval
from the commission when there is a change in the carryover cap, a change from
one type of place pick (n) wagering to another, or when the place pick (n) is
discontinued. (3) On the closing
performance of the meet or split meet. (K) If, for any reason, the place pick
(n) carryover has to be held over to the corresponding place pick (n) pool of a
subsequent meet, the carryover will be deposited in an interest-bearing account
approved by the commission. The place pick (n) carryover plus accrued interest
will then be added to the net place pick (n) pool of the following meet on a
date and performance so designated by the commission. (L) With the written approval of the
commission, the association may contribute to the place pick (n) carryover a
sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap. (M) Providing information to any person
regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations,
number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining is strictly
prohibited. This will not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator
and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data. (N) The association may suspend
previously-approved place pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the
commission. Any carryover will be held until the suspended place pick (n)
wagering is reinstated. An association may request approval of a place pick (n)
wager or separate wagering pool for specific performances.

pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four
betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then (3) As a single price
pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three
betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then (4) As a single price
pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two
betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then (5) As a single price
pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting
interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then (6) The entire pool will
be refunded on pentafecta wagers for that contest. (C) Distribution of winnings
option 2: The net pentafecta pool will be distributed to winning wagers in the
following precedence, based on the official order of finish: (1) As a single price
pool, including any applicable carryover, to those whose combination finished
in correct sequence as the first five betting interests, but if there are no
such wagers, then (2) The net pool will be
divided into two separate pools. The major pool of the net pool will be
retained and added to a corresponding carryover pool into the next designated
pentafecta race. The remaining minor pool will be paid as a pentafecta
consolation pool, which will be equally divided among those ticket holders who
correctly select the first four betting interests, but if there are no such
wagers, then (3) The pentafecta
consolation pool will be divided among those ticket holders who correctly
select the first three interests, but if there are no such wagers,
then (4) The pentafecta
consolation pool will be divided among those ticket holders who correctly
select the first two interests, but if there are no such wagers,
then (5) The pentafecta
consolation pool will be divided among those ticket holders who correctly
select the first betting interest, but if there are no such wagers,
then (6) The entire net pool
will become a carryover pool to be retained and added to the next designated
pentafecta race. (7) On the last
pentafecta race on the final day of the meeting, the net pool, including any
applicable carryover will be distributed using the method described in
paragraph (B) of this rule. (8) Where a net pool is
divided into two separate pools in accordance with this subsection any odd
cents remaining will be retained and added to the part of the net pool that
will be added to the corresponding carryover pool. (D) Distribution of winnings
option 3: The net pentafecta pool will be distributed to winning wagers in the
following precedence, based on the official order of finish: (1) As a single price
pool, including any applicable carryover, to those whose combination finished
in correct sequence as the first five betting interests, but if there are no
such wagers, then (2) The entire net pool
will be retained and added to a corresponding carryover pool into the next
designated pentafecta race. (3) On the last
pentafecta race on the final day of the meeting, the net pool, including any

following precedence, based on the official order of finish: (1) As a single price
pool, including any applicable carry-over, to the holder of a unique winning
ticket whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first five betting
interests, but if there is no such unique winning ticket, then (2) The net pool will be
divided into two separate pools. The major pool of the net pool will be paid as
a carryover pool into the next regularly scheduled pentafecta race. The
remaining minor pool will be paid as a pentafecta consolation pool, which will
be equally divided among those ticket holders who correctly select the first
five interests, but if there are no such wagers, then (3) The entire net pool
will become a carryover pool into the next regularly scheduled pentafecta
race. (4) Unique winning
ticket, as used in this paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, will be defined as
having occurred when there is one and only one winning ticket whose combination
finished in correct sequence as the first five betting interests, to be
verified by the unique serial number assigned by the totalizator company that
issued the winning ticket. In the event that there is more than one winning
ticket whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first five betting
interests, the unique winning ticket will be deemed to not have
occurred. (5) The permit holder
will specify the minimum monetary amount of a unique winning ticket wager
approved by the commission. (6) A written request for
permission to distribute the pentafecta carryover on a specific performance may
be submitted to the commission. The request has to be for a specified date no
greater than one year from the date the request is submitted and contain
justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be
derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. Should the
pentafecta net pool and any applicable carryover be designated for distribution
on a specified date and performance in which there is no unique winning ticket,
the entire pool will be distributed using the method described in paragraph (B)
of this rule. (7) A written request for
permission to transfer the pentafecta carryover to another pentafecta pool
operated by the same pool host may be submitted to the commission. The request
has to contain justification for the transfer, including an explanation of the
benefit to be derived, a description of the method by which the pool host will
present the information to the public that identifies the racetrack(s) for
which the pool will be operated and the intended date(s) and performance(s) of
the transfer. (8) Unless otherwise
stated in writing by the commission under paragraph (D) of this rule, on the
last pentafecta race on the final day of the meeting, the net pool, including
any applicable carryover, will be distributed using the method described in
paragraph (B) of this rule. (F) Notwithstanding paragraphs (E)(6) and
(E)(7) of this rule, if for any other reason the pentafecta carryover has to be
held over to the corresponding pentafecta pool of a subsequent meet, the
carryover will be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the
commission. The pentafecta carryover plus accrued interest will then be added
to the net pentafecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so
designated by the commission. (G) ) If fewer than five betting
interests finish and the contest is declared official, payoffs will be made
based upon the order of finish of those betting interests completing the
contest. The balance of any selection on any ticket beyond the number of
betting interests completing the contest will be ignored. If the pools are
being distributed under paragraph (C)(1), (D)(1), or (E)(1) any previous
pentafecta contest's carryover will not be included in the payoff and
will be retained for the next contest's carryover, and this
contest's net pentafecta pool will be distributed using the method
described in paragraph (B) of this rule. (H) If there is a dead heat for first
involving: (1) Contestants
representing five or more betting interests, all of the wagering combinations
selecting the five betting interests, irrespective of order, will share in a
profit split. (2) Contestants
representing four betting interests, all of the wagering combinations selecting
the four dead heated betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the
fifth-place betting interest will share in a profit split. (3) Contestants

representing two betting interests, both of the wagering combinations selecting
the two dead heated betting interests, irrespective of order, along with the
third place, fourth place and fifth place betting interests, in correct order,
will share in a profit split. (I) If there is a dead heat for second
involving: (1) Contestants
representing four or more betting interests, all of the wagering combinations
correctly selecting the winner along with the four dead heated betting
interests will share in a profit split. (2) Contestants
representing three betting interests, all of the wagering combinations
correctly selecting the winner, the three dead heated betting interests,
irrespective of order, and the fifth-place betting interests will share in a
profit split. (3) Contestants
representing two betting interests, all of the wagering combinations correctly
selecting the winner, the two dead heated betting interests, irrespective of
order, and the fourth place and fifth place betting interests, in correct
order, will share in a profit split. (J) If there is a dead heat for third
involving: (1) Contestants
representing three or more betting interests, all of the wagering combinations
correctly selecting the first two finishers, in correct order, and the three
dead heated betting interests, irrespective of order, will share in a profit
split. (2) Contestants
representing two betting interests, both of the wagering combinations selecting
the first two finishers, in correct order, and the two dead heated betting
interests, irrespective of order, along with the fifth-place betting interest
will share in a profit split. (K) If there is a dead heat for fourth,
all wagering combinations correctly selecting the first three finishers, in
correct sequence, along with any two of the betting interests involved in the
dead heat for fourth, irrespective of order, will share in a profit
split. (L) If there is a dead heat for fifth,
all wagering combinations correctly selecting the first four finishers, in
correct sequence, along with any of the betting interests involved in the dead
heat for fifth will share in a profit split. (M) In the event that more than one
component of a coupled entry or mutuel field finishes within the first five
positions, the first member of the coupled entry or mutuel field to finish will
determine the position of the single betting interest. The net pool will be
distributed to those whose selection included the coupled entry or mutuel field
and each of the other four betting interests.

In the event of a dead heat in any of the exacta (n) contests, the net exacta(n) shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish, for each exacta contest within the exacta(n) wager: (1) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the exacta (n) contests involving contestants representing the same betting interest, the exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those selecting the coupled entry or mutuel field combined with the next separate betting interest in the official order of finish for that contest. (2) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the exacta (n) contests involving contestants representing two or more betting interests, the exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with a winning wager including each betting interest involved in the dead heat. (3) If there is a dead heat for second in any of the exacta (n) contests involving contestants representing the same betting interest, the exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (4) If there is a dead heat for second in any of the exacta (n) contests involving contestants representing two or more betting interests, the exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with a winning wager including the betting interest which finished first together with any betting interest involved in the dead heat for second. (D) Scratches: (1) Should a betting interest in any contest of the exacta (n) be scratched or excused from the contest prior to the first exacta (n) contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the exacta (n) pool and refunded. (2) Should a betting interest in any contest of the exacta (n) be scratched or excused from the contest after the first exacta (n) contest has been declared official, all money wagered on combinations including this betting interest shall remain in the exacta (n) pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting interest. (3) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in a contest of the exacta (n) is reduced to fewer than two, for purposes of the exacta (n) such contest shall be declared "no contest" and the exacta (n) pool shall be subject to the rules set forth in paragraph (E) of this rule. (E) Cancelled contests: (1) If any of the exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" prior to the first exacta (n) contest being declared official, the entire exacta (n) pool shall be refunded on exacta (n) wagers for those contests. (2) If all remaining exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first exacta (n) contest is declared official, the net exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winning combination in the first exacta (n) contest, but not the exacta (n) carryover. However, if there are no wagers selecting the winning combination in the first exacta (n) contest, the entire exacta (n) pool shall be refunded on Exacta (n) wagers for those contests. (3) If any of the remaining exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first exacta (n) is declared official, the net exacta (n) pool shall be distributed in accordance with rules governing distribution of the minor share where there is no winner of the major share. (F) Mandatory distribution: (1) A written request for permission to distribute the exacta (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request shall contain justification for the mandatory distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. The association must notify the commission at least ten days prior to implementation. If the exacta (n) pool cannot be distributed during a designated performance, the mandatory distribution shall resume on the next scheduled mandatory distribution performance. (2) If the exacta (n) carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in determining winning tickets for the net exacta (n) pool and the carryover pool: (a) As a single price pool to those who selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in each of the exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in all exacta (n) contests, then; (b) As a single price pool to those who selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in at least one of the exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. (c) If there are no wagers which correctly selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in at least one of the exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, then all exacta (n) tickets shall become winners and receive one hundred per cent of that performance's net exacta (n) pool and the exacta (n) carryover pool as a single price pool. (G) If, for any reason, the exacta (n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding exacta (n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The exacta (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net exacta (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.

Rule 3769-3-37 | Pick (n) position (x) pools.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The pick (n) position (x) pool
requires selection of the first (x) finishers, in their exact positions, in
each of a designated number of (n) contests. For example, in a four position
pool (x equals four), the bettor chooses four finishers in each contest. If the
bettor has chosen one, two, three and four, and the actual finishers are four,
two, three, and one, the bettor has correctly chosen two positions, (the second
and third place finishers). (B) The association has to obtain written
approval from the commission concerning the scheduling of pick (n) position (x)
contests, the designation of one of the methods prescribed in paragraphs (D)(3)
and (D)(6) of this rule, the percentages of the net pool apportioned between
the major share of the position (x) pool and the minor share(s) of the position
(x) pool, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to
the approved pick (n) position (x) format needs prior approval from the
commission. (C) Unless otherwise stated, the major
share of the net pick (n) position (x) pool, (hereafter known as "position
(x) pool") will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in a minimum specified number of
positions in the (n) contests (considered as a whole) that comprise the
position (x) pool, based upon the official order of finish. The minimum
specified number of positions may be all (x ) positions in all (n) contests
(for instance, four positions in each of six contests, for a total of
twenty-four positions) or a lessor specified number (for instance, twenty-two
or more accurate positions within the six contests taken as a
whole.) (D) The pick (n) position (x) pool will
be apportioned under one of the following methods: (1) Method one, position
(x) with no minor pool and no carryover: (a) The net position (x) pool will be distributed in accordance
with the method for distributing the major share as described in paragraph (B)
of this rule. (b) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
net position (x) pool will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number
positions in position (x) contests. (c) If there are no winning wagers, the entire pool will be
refunded on position (x) wagers for those contests. (2) Method two, position
(x) with no minor pool and carryover instead of a refund: (a) The net position (x) pool will be distributed in accordance
with the method for distributing the major share as described in paragraph (B)
of this rule. (b) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
net position (x) pool and the carryover will be distributed as a single price
pool to those who correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the
greatest number of positions in position (x) contests. (c) If there are no winning wagers, the net position (x) pool
will be added to the carryover. (3) Method three,
position (x) with no minor pool and carryover: (a) The net position (x) pool will be distributed in accordance
with the method for distributing the major share as described in paragraph (B)
of this rule. (b) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
net position (x) pool will be added to the carryover. (4) Method four, position
(x) with minor pool and no carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as
described in paragraph (B) of this rule. (b) The minor share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly selected finishers,
in exact position, in the greatest number of positions in position (x) contests
(but less than the number of positions qualifying for the major share), based
upon the official order of finish. (c) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share of the net position (x) pool will be combined with the minor share
for distribution as a single price pool to those who correctly selected
finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of positions in position
(x) contests. (d) If there are no wagers correctly selecting any finishers, in
exact position, in position (x) contests, other than winners of the major share
of the net position (x) pool, the minor share of the net position (x) pool will
be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to
those who qualified for the major share. (e) If there are no winning wagers, the pool will be refunded on
position (x) wagers for those contests. (5) Method five, position
(x) with minor pool and carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as
described in paragraph (B) of this rule. (b) The minor share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly selected finishers,
in exact position, in the greatest number of positions in position (x) contests
(but less than the number of positions qualifying for the major share), based
upon the official order of finish. (c) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
minor share of the net position (x) pool will be distributed as a single price
pool to those who correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the
greatest number of positions in position (x) contests, and the major share will
be added to the carryover. (d) If there are no wagers correctly selecting any finishers, in
exact position, other than winners of the major share of the net position (x)
pool, the minor share of the net position (x) pool will be combined with the
major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who qualified for
the major share, or if there are no such winning wagers, added to the
carryover. (6) Method six, position
(x) with minor pool(s) and carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as
described in paragraph (B) of this rule. (b) A principal minor share of the net position (x) pool may be
designated, and distributed as a single price pool, to those who correctly
selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of position in
position (x) contests (but less than the number of positions qualifying for the
major share), based upon the official order of finish. (c) Additional minor shares of the net position (x) pool may be
designated, and distributed as single price pools, to those who correctly
selected the designated number, or range, of finishers, in exact position, in
position (x) contests (but less than the number of positions qualifying for the
major share), based upon the official order of finish. (d) Those qualifying for the principal minor share may also
qualify for one of the additional minor shares. When this occurs, the two
unbroken prices will be summed before surcharging or rounding the prices for
breakage. For example: (i) Suppose there are
five dollars of wagers correctly selecting twelve positions, three dollars of
wagers selecting thirteen positions, and two dollars of wagers selecting
fourteen positions, and fourteen is the greatest number of positions correctly
selected. (ii) Suppose that the
principal minor share of the net pool is twenty thousand dollars and sixteen
cents. Further, one of the other minor shares is designated for a range of
twelve to fifteen positions, and this share of the net pool is ten thousand
dollars and eighty cents. (These amounts are chosen only to illustrate the
following steps.) (iii) Then the principal
minor share is divided among those selecting fourteen positions, and the other
minor share is divided among all the wagers selecting twelve, thirteen, and
fourteen positions, so the fourteen-position winners receives the sum of two
winning prices. (iv) The principal minor
share twenty thousand dollars and sixteen cents divided among the two dollars
of fourteen position winners yields an unbroken price of ten thousand dollars
and eight cents per dollar, and the other minor share ten thousand dollars and
eighty cents divided among the ten dollars of twelve, thirteen and fourteen
position winners yields an unbroken price of one thousand dollars and eight
cents per dollar. (v) The sum ten thousand
dollars and eight cents plus one thousand dollars and eight cents equals eleven
thousand dollars and sixteen cents is the combined unbroken price for choosing
fourteen finishers. (vi) If the rounding for
breakage is to the next lower ten cents, the final broken prices are eleven
thousand dollars for fourteen finishers, and one-thousand for twelve or
thirteen finishers. (e) The commission will approve the number of minor shares, and
the designated number, or range, of finishers, in exact position, in position
(x) contests qualifying as the winning selection in any such minor
share. (f) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share will be added to the carryover. If there are no wagers qualifying
for a designated minor share, the minor share of the net position (x) pool will
be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to
those who qualified for the major share, or if there are no such winning
wagers, added to the carryover. (7) Method seven,
position (x) with minor pools(s) based upon any one contest, and no
carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers, in
exact position, in each (or a specified minimum number) of the position (x)
contests, based upon the official order of finish. (b) The minor shares of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as single price pools to those (including recipients of the major
share of the net position (n) pool) who selected all (x) finishers, in exact
position, in at least one of the position (x) contests, based upon the official
order of finish, as follows: (c) There may be separate minor pools for those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the most position (x) contests,
those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the
second most position (x) contests, and so forth down to those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in one position (x) contest. Not
all such minor shares need to be designated for the wager. (d) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share of the net position (x) pool will be combined with the highest
level minor share for distribution as a single price pool. If there are no
wagers qualifying for a designated minor share of the net position (x) pool,
that minor share will be combined with the next lower minor share for
distribution as a single price pool. (e) If there are no winning wagers, the pool is
refunded. (8) Method eight,
position (x) with minor pool(s) based upon any one contest, and
carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool and the
carryover, if any, will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in each (or a specified minimum
number) of the position (x) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. (b) The minor shares of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as single price pools to those (including recipients of the major
share of the net position (x) pool) who selected all (x) finishers, in exact
position, in at least one of the position (x) contests, based upon the official
order of finish, as follows: (c) There may be separate minor pools for those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the most position (x) contests,
those who selected all (n) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the
second most position (x) contests, and so forth down to those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in one position (x) contest. Not
all such minor shares need to be designated for the wager. (d) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share will be added to the carryover. (e) If there are no wagers selecting all finishers, in exact
position, in a number of the position (x) contests that qualify for a
designated minor share, that minor share of the net position (n) pool will also
be added to the carryover. (9) Method nine, position
(x) with minor pool(s) based upon any one contest, and carryover: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool and the
carryover, if any, will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in each (or a specified minimum
number) of the position (x) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. (b) The minor shares of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as single price pools to those (including recipients of the major
share of the net position (x) pool) who selected all (x) finishers, in exact
position, in at least one of the position (x) contests, based upon the official
order of finish: (c) There may be separate minor pools for those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the most position (x) contests,
those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the
second most position (x) contests, and so forth down to those who selected all
(x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in one position (x) contest. Not
all such minor shares need to be designated for the wager. (d) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share will be added to the carryover. (e) If there are no wagers selecting all finishers, in exact
position, in a number of the position (x) contests that qualify for a
designated minor share, that minor share of the position (x) pool will be added
to the next lower minor share of the position (x) pool. If there is no lower
designated minor share of the position (x) pool, the minor share will also be
added to the carryover. (10) Method ten, position
(x) with minor pool based upon any one contest, and carryover; one hundred per
cent carryover if no winning wagers: (a) The major share of the net position (x) pool and the
carryover, if any, will be distributed as a single price pool to those who
selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in each (or a specified minimum
number) of the position (x) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. (b) The minor share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool based upon the sum of the dollar value of
wagers, for each of the position (x) contests considered separately, in which
all (x) finishers, in exact position, were correctly selected, based upon the
official order of finish. The minor share of the net position (x) pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to those (including recipients of the major
share of the net position (x) pool) who selected all (x) finishers, in exact
position, in one or more of the position (x) contests. Each recipient of a
minor share will receive an amount equal to the single price times the number
of position (x) contests in which the recipient correctly selected the winning
combination. (c) If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the
major share will be added to the carryover. If there are no winning wagers, the
minor share will also be added to the carryover. (E) Apportionment of net position (x)
pool between major and minor pools: The commission will approve the method of
apportioning the net position (x) pool between winners of the major share of
the position (x) pool and winners of the minor share(s) of the position (x)
pool. Example (utilizing method eight): A four position pool (x equals four)
consisting of five contests (n equals five.) The major share goes to those who
correctly choose all twenty positions. Assume the commission has approved three
minor shares: The highest minor share goes to those who have picked all
positions, in exact order, in four of the contests. The next minor share goes
to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in three of the
contests. The final minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in
exact order, in one or two of the contests. One apportionment of payouts could
be forty percent of the net position (x) pool for the major share, and twenty
percent of the net position (x) pool for each of the three minor shares.
Another apportionment of payouts could be fifty percent of the net position (x)
pool for the major share, twenty-five percent for the highest minor share,
fifteen per cent to the next minor share, and ten percent to the final minor
share. (F) Dead heats. In the event of a dead
heat in any of the position (x) contests, based upon the official order of
finish: (1) For purposes of
determining whether a wager correctly selected the finishers, in exact
position, contestants in a dead heat are deemed to jointly occupy both or all
positions in the dead heat. For example, if five and six finish in a dead heat
for first, then a selection of five for either first or second is correct, and
a selection of six for either first or second is also correct. (2) Each share of the net
position (x) pool will be distributed as a single price pool regardless of dead
heats. (G) Scratches. (1) If, due to a late
scratch, the number of betting interests in a contest of the position (x) pool
is reduced to fewer than (x), for purposes of the position (x) pool only, such
contests will be declared "no contest" and the position (x) pool will
be subject to the rules set forth in paragraph (H) of this rule
("cancelled contests"). (2) Should a betting
interest in any contest of the position (x) pool be scratched or excused from
the contest, no more wagers will be accepted selecting that scratched
contestant. (3) Existing wagers that
select a scratched betting interest will be handled under one of the following
methods. The commission will make its determination of which of these
alternatives will apply at the time of approving the wagering pool, which
alternative will remain in effect until and unless changed by the
commission. (a) Method one, substitute a higher contestant
number: (i) The next higher live
contestant number that is not already part of the wager will be substituted for
the scratched contestant number. If no higher contestant number is eligible,
the search will then proceed upward from contestant number one. (ii) If a wager selects
more than one scratched contestant for a contest, the substitutions will begin
with the lowest scratched contestant number in the wager and proceed in order
to the highest. (iii) Substitution will
be performed on the basis of single wagers, regardless of whether a wager was
placed as part of any type of multiple wager format such as "box" or
"wheel." (iv) The totalizator will
produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted
contestants which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition
to the normal winning combination. (b) Method two, substitute favorite contestant
number: (i) The actual favorite,
as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the close of wagering
on that contest, will be substituted for the scratched contestant for all
purposes, including a pool calculations. (ii) If the win pool
total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection will be
the contestant with the lowest contestant number not already selected in the
wager as part of the contest. (iii) If such favorite
has already been selected in the wager as part of the contest, the next
favorite(s) will be used, as evidenced by the total amounts wagered in the win
pool, ordered from the highest amount to the lowest. (iv) If a wager selects
more than one scratched contestant for a contest, the substitutions will begin
with the lowest scratched contestant number in the wager and proceed in order
to the highest. (v) Substitution will be
performed on the basis of single wagers, regardless of whether a wager was
placed as part of any type of multiple wager format such as "box" or
"wheel." (vi) The totalizator will
produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted
contestants which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition
to the normal winning combination. (c) Method three, scratched contestant wins. (i) The scratched
contestant is deemed to be a correct selection of a winning finisher, for
purposes of the position x pool only. (ii) The totalizator will
produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations which became winners
as a result of the scratch contestants, in addition to the normal winning
combination. (d) Method four, scratched contestant loses. (i) The scratched
contestant is deemed to be a loser, for purposes of the position x pool
only. (ii) Other correctly
selected finishers in a wager will continue to count toward winning, as
usual. (H) Cancelled contests. (1) If any of the
position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" prior to
the first position (x) contest being declared official, the entire position (x)
pool will be refunded on position (x) wagers for those contests. (2) If all remaining
position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after
the first position (x) contest is declared official, the entire net position
(x) pool, but not the position (x) carryover, will be distributed as a single
price pool to wagers selecting the winning combination in the first position
(x) contest. However, if there are no wagers selecting the winning combination
in the first position (x) contest, the entire position (x) pool will be
refunded on position x wagers for those contests. (3) If any of the
remaining position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no
contest" after the first position (x) is declared official, the net
position (x) pool will be distributed in accordance with rules governing
distribution of the minor shares where there is no winner of the major share.
If there is more than one minor share, the entire net position (x) pool, but
not the position (x) carryover, will be divided amongst the minor shares, in
accordance with paragraph (E) of this rule (apportionment), in proportion to
the designated percentages, of by some other method approved by the
commission. (4) If any of the
remaining position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no
contest" after the first position (x) is declared officials, and the net
position (x) pool has been designated for distribution in accordance with
paragraph (J) of this rule (mandatory distribution), the rules governing
mandatory distribution will apply. (I) Carryover cap. The position (x)
carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so
that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the position (x)
carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the position (x) carryover will
be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this
position (x) rule. After the position (x) carryover is frozen, the part of the
net pool that ordinarily would be added to the position (x) carryover will be
distributed to those whose selection finished in the highest level of the minor
shares of the position (x) for that performance. (J) Mandatory distribution. (1) A written request for
permission to distribute the position (x) carryover on a specific performance
may be submitted to the commission. The request will contain justification for
the mandatory distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and
the intended date and performance for the distribution. The association has to
notify the commission at least ten days prior to implementation. If the
position (x) pool cannot be distributed during a designated performance, the
mandatory distribution will resume on the next approved mandatory distribution
performance. (2) If the position (x)
carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance,
and if there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, then the following
precedence will be followed in determining winning wagers for the net position
(x) pool and the carryover pool: (a) If the method chosen in paragraph (C) of this rule, is method
seven to ten, then: (b) The major share and the position (x) carryover will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers, in
exact position, in the most individual position n contests, based upon the
official order of finish. Designated minor shares may still be
awarded; (c) If the method chosen in paragraph (C) of this rule is one to
six, then: (d) The major share and the position (x) carryover will be
distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly selected the most
finishers, in their exact positions, in the position (n) contests, based upon
the official order of finish. Designated minor shares may still be
awarded. (e) If there are no wagers which qualified for distribution of
the major share, then all position (x) tickets will become winners and share
one hundred percent of that performance's net position (x) pool and the
position (x) carryover pool as a single price pool. (3) The position (x)
carryover will be designated for distribution on a specified date and
performance only under the following circumstances: (a) Upon written approval from the commission as provided in
paragraph (I) of this rule. (b) Upon written approval from the commission when there is a
change in the carryover cap or when the position (x) wager is
discontinued. (c) On the closing performance of the meet. (4) If, for any reason,
the position (x) carryover has to be held over to the corresponding position
(x) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover will be deposited in an interest
bearing account approved by the commission. The position (x) carryover plus
accrued interest will then be added to the net position (x) pool of the
following meet on a date and performance so designated by the
commission. (K) Coupled entries and mutuel
fields. (1) Coupled entries and
mutuel fields may be permitted in position x contests with the written approval
of the commission. (2) Contestants coupled
in wagering as a coupled entry or mutuel field will be considered part of a
single betting interest for the purpose of price calculations and distribution
of position (x) pools. Should any contestant in a coupled entry or mutuel field
be officially withdrawn or scratched, the remaining contestants in that coupled
entry or mutuel field will remain valid betting interests and no refunds will
be granted. If all contestants within a coupled entry or mutuel field are
scratched, then the scratches section of paragraph (G) of this rule will
apply. (3) For the purpose of
position (x) price calculations only, coupled entries and mutuel fields will be
calculated as a single finishing contestant, using the finishing position of
the leading contestant in that coupled entry or mutuel field to determine order
of placing. This rule will apply to all circumstances, including situations
involving a dead heat. For example, if the actual order of finish in a contest
is 1/2/1a/3/4, then the finishers used for that contest of the position (x)
would be 1/2/3/4. (L) With the written approval of the
commission, the association may contribute to the position (x) carryover, or to
the major or minor shares of the position (x) pool, a sum of money up to the
amount of any designated cap.

January 1, 2009
(A) The team wager pool requires selection of a designated "team" in each of a designated number of contests. Winning bets shall be determined based upon the official order of finish in each contest and the standing of each team with respect to the official order of finish. For purposes of the team wager, finishers from the same team shall be bracketed together to determine a single betting interest, as set forth in paragraph (C) of this rule. (B) Prior to the start of the contests that comprise the team wager, all participants in each of the contests shall be divided by the association between or among each of the team wager teams, and the roster of each team made public, as well as the number of points to be awarded to the team whose member is the first finisher in a designated contest, the second finisher, and so forth until no more points are awarded in that contest. (C) At the conclusion of all contests that comprise the team wager, the number of points for each team shall be compiled, and the team with the most points shall be declared the "winning team." (D) The team wager pool shall be apportioned under either of the following methods: (1) Winning margins team wager: (a) In the "winning margins team wager", the total number of points awarded in the team wager shall be divided by the association into a series of brackets comprised of a series of point ranges ("winning margin") by which one team (team A) might defeat the other team (team B); a series of point ranges by which team B might defeat team A; and a tie between the teams. Each bracket shall constitute a separate betting interest in the winning margins team wager. (b) The net winning margins team wager pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the correct bracket. If there are no wagers selecting the correct bracket, the entire pool shall be refunded. (c) Example: points are assigned to each of the first four finishers in each contest [four points for the first finisher down to one point for the fourth finisher, for a total of ten points awarded in each contest, based upon the official order of finish, with a total of six contests in the team wager, resulting in a total of sixty points in all. The brackets could be designated as: team A's winning margin is one to ten points; eleven to twenty points; twenty-one to thirty points; thirty-one to forty points; forty-one to fifty points; fifty-one to sixty points. Team B's winning margin is one to ten points; eleven to twenty points; twenty-one to thirty points; thirty-one to forty points; forty-one to fifty points; fifty-one to sixty points. The two teams tie, and the margin is zero points. In this example, there are thirteen separate betting interests. If, in this example, finishers representing team A come in first and third in one contest, and finishers representing team B come in second and fourth in that contest, team A would have four plus two equals six points and team B would have three plus one equals four points. The current winning margin (after this first contest) would be team A by two points.) (2) Team double wager: (a) In the "team double wager", the commission shall approve two different methods of determining the winning tickets qualifying for a share of the net pool. (b) The commission shall also approve the manner of apportioning the net team double wager pool, and the conditions under which the pool shall be refunded or otherwise apportioned if there are no winning wagers. (c) Example: A "daily-double"-style pool consisting of having to correctly select the bracket of the winning margin, as above, as well as a bracket based upon and including the total points achieved by the winning team. (E) Brackets: (1) The brackets may be comprised of the margins by which the winning team defeats the team that finishes second; the total number of points achieved by the winning team; or other method of determining the brackets, as approved by the commission. (2) Such factors as the number of teams in the team wager; the method by which teams are designated; the number of points to be awarded in each contest; the number of contests comprising the team wager; and the method by which the "brackets" constituting each betting interest in the team wager are designated, shall all be subject to approval of the commission. (F) Coupled entries; fields. With approval of the commission, coupled entries may be permitted in contests comprising the team wager, but may only participate as part of the same team. With approval of the commission, fields may be permitted in contests comprising the team wager, but may only participate as part of the same team. (G) Dead heat. If there is a dead heat including any finisher(s) for which points are awarded in the team wager, the total amount of points in the dead heat positions shall be combined and divided equally amongst the betting interests that have finished in the dead heat. (H) Scratches: (1) Should an entry in any contest of the team wager be scratched or excused from the contest, all money wagered on combinations including this entry shall remain in the team wager pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting interest. (2) If, due to a scratch or excused entry, the number of entries assigned to a team in a contest of the team wager is reduced to fewer than the number of positions in the final order of finish for which the team is eligible to receive points, for purposes of the team wager pool such contest shall be declared "no contest" and wagers involving any betting interests that are no longer capable of being achieved shall be refunded.

Rule 3769-3-39 | Future wager pool.
Effective:
January 26, 2024
(A) The future wager requires selection
of the first-place finisher in a specified contest. (B) The association will apply in writing
to the commission for approval to offer the future wager on the specified
contest and will not offer the wager until the commission approval has been
granted. The written application will include the date and time for the pool to
be opened and closed, a description of the system for compiling the pool and
calculating odds and payout prices, and the time interval for displaying the
odds. (C) The association, or in the case of
interjurisdiction common pool wagering the host track, will name the
contestants included in each betting interest on which future wagers may be
made and will assign a program number to each betting interest. (D) The amount wagered on the betting
interest which finishes first in the specified race is deducted from the net
pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided by the
amount wagered on the betting interest finishing first, such quotient being the
profit per dollar wagered in the future pool on that betting
interest. (E) The net future pool will be
distributed as a single price pool to winning wagers in the following
precedence, based upon the official order of finish: (1) To those whose
selection finished first; but if there are no such wagers, then; (2) To those whose
selection finished second; but if there are no such wagers, then; (3) To those whose
selection finished third; but if there are no such wagers, then; (4) The entire pool will
be refunded on future pool wagers for that contest. (F) If there is a dead heat for first
involving: (1) Contestants
representing the same betting interest, the future pool will be distributed as
if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants
representing two or more betting interests, the future pool will be distributed
as a profit split. (G) No refund will be issued for future
wager pool wagers on betting interests that do not start or finish the race. If
the association becomes aware or is notified that a betting interest is
ineligible or unable to start the race and the pool is still open, the
association will immediately close betting on that betting
interest. (H) The entire future wager pool will be
refunded if: (1) The situation
described in paragraph (E)(4) of this rule occurs; (2) The specified race is
declared no contest by the stewards or judges having jurisdiction over the
specified race; (3) The specified race
does not occur; or (4) For whatever reason,
the future wager pool can not be determined and the payout price can not be
calculated.

Rule 3769-3-40 | Fortune Pick (n).
Effective:
January 1, 2009
(A) The fortune pick (n) requires selection of the first place finisher in each of a designated number of contests. The permit holder must obtain written approval from the commission concerning the scheduling of fortune pick (n) contests, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the approved fortune pick (n) format require prior approval from the commission. (B) Fortune pick (n) with minor pool and carryover with unique wager: the entire net fortune pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed to the holder of a unique wager selecting the first place finisher in each of the selected fortune pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there is no unique wager selecting the first place finisher in all fortune pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net fortune pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of fortune pick (n) contests; and the major share shall be added to the carryover. (C) Unique wager, as used in this rule, shall be defined as having occurred when the total amount wagered on a winning combination selecting the first place finisher in each of the selected fortune pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, is equal to the minimum allowable wager. (D) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the fortune pick (n) contests involving: (1) Contestants representing the same betting interest, the fortune pick (n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred. (2) Contestants representing two or more betting interests, the fortune pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit. (E) Should a betting interest in any of the fortune pick (n) contests be scratched, excused or determined to be a non-starter, all tickets sold containing the scratched horse shall be refunded. The money refunded will be deducted from the gross pool. (F) The fortune pick (n) pool shall be cancelled and all fortune pick (n) wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if: (1) At least three contests included as part of a fortune pick six are cancelled or declared "no contest." (2) At least four contests included as part of a fortune pick seven, pick eight, or pick nine are cancelled or declared a "no contest." (3) At least five contests included as part of a fortune pick ten are cancelled or declared a "no contest." (G) If at least one contest included as part of a fortune pick (n) is canceled or declared "no contest," but not more than the number specified in paragraph (F) of this rule, the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of fortune pick (n) contests for that performance. Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the fortune pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances. (H) The fortune pick (n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the fortune pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the fortune pick (n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the fortune pick (n) carryover is frozen, one hundred per cent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the fortune pick (n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of fortune pick (n) contests for that performance. (I) A written request for permission to distribute the fortune pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution. (J) Should the fortune pick (n) carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first place finisher in each of the fortune pick (n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of fortune pick (n) contests. The fortune pick (n) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances: (1) Upon written approval from the commission as provided in paragraph (I) of this rule; (2) Upon written approval from the commission when there is a change in the carryover cap, a change from one type of fortune pick (n) wagering to another, or when the fortune pick (n) is discontinued; (3) On the closing performance of the meet or split meet. (K) If, for any reason, the fortune pick (n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding fortune pick (n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest bearing account approved by the commission. The fortune pick (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net fortune pick (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission. (L) With the written approval of the commission, the permit holder may contribute to the fortune pick (n) carryover a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap. (M) It is strictly prohibited to provide information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data. (N) The association may suspend previously approved fortune pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended fortune pick (n) wagering is reinstated. An association may request approval of a fortune pick (n) wager or separate wagering pool for specific performances. (O) Fortune pick (n), as used in this rule, shall mean the selection of winners in six or more races during the course of an official racing program.
