Section 20:04:32:25 - Satellite wagering procedures

Satellite wagering procedures include:

(1) Prior to the commencement of wagering of the first race on a satellite wagering program, either the audio or video signals must be present at the satellite facility in order for satellite wagering at the satellite facility to be conducted. If both the audio and visual signals are lost, wagering may continue only until the scheduled post time of the current race at the out-of-state host track and may not resume until either the audio or visual signal is restored. Any advance bets made, provided there has not been an accompanying data transmission failure, must be treated as valid bets and paid out accordingly. Any wager that encompasses more than one race shall be unaffected by signal problems encountered in any race of the sequence other than the first; and

(2) If either the satellite facility or host track's totalizator system fails and there is an impairment of the ability of a totalizator to record, classify, or accumulate wagering data or to do calculations, or if wagering data is lost, the following procedures shall apply:

Any money wagered on the race that was entered into the host track's pools from that satellite facility's totalizator system prior to the time of failure shall remain in the host track's pools and the satellite facility shall pay the track prices. If money wagered is not entered into the host track's pool, the satellite facility has the option to refund each wager, pay track odds, or form separate pools.

A set policy shall be determined by the satellite facility and shall be posted.
