§433.35. System Failure  


Latest version.
  • a)         Any failure of tote equipment at any facility shall be reported immediately to the state stewards, pari-mutuel auditor and the mutuel manager for the host track involved and the general manager at all affected facilities.  The totalizator system licensee shall keep the state stewards and the pari-mutuel auditor advised of the efforts to correct such failure. If it is determined that the failure cannot be corrected, the stewards shall order a cancellation of wagering for that program and the refund of affected wagers.  The stewards shall have the authority to permit some, or all of the remaining races to be contested as non-wagering exhibitions, having taken into consideration factors such as, but not limited to, the purse, the amount of wagering, and the time required to repair the totalizator system.

     

    b)         The general manager at all affected facilities shall file a written report with the State Director of Pari-Mutuels no later than 7 days thereafter detailing the reasons for the failure.
