Text

(a) The following equipment must be provided

or satellite facility, as applicable:
(1) A totalizator for win, place, and show wagering. The
totalizator must:
(A) be of a design approved by the commission;

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;
(C) display the totals wagered in a manner that permits ready
tabulation and recording of those totals by the commission's
representative before they are cleared from the central
aggregators; and
(D) display to the public on a board running totals of amounts
wagered in each of the win, place, and show pools on each
entry in each race.
(2) A telephone system connecting the judges' stand with the
office of the pari-mutuel plant and any other stations considered
necessary by the commission.
(3) A system of bells that shall be rung from the judges' stand to
signal the close of wagering.
(4) A button in the judges' stand that, when pressed, will lock
ticket-issuing machines and close wagering for each race.
(b) In addition to the requirements of subsection (a), a permit holder
may conduct exotic wagering only by the use of automatic mechanical,
electric, or electronic devices that:
(1) print and issue tickets evidencing individual wagers;
(2) locally print a permanent record of the tickets issued by each
machine or register on central aggregators by automatic
mechanical, electric, or electronic means the total dollar value of
those tickets; and
(3) permit ready tabulation and recording of those figures by the
commission's representative before they are cleared from the
central aggregators.
(c) The commission may waive the requirements of subsection (b)
if the commission determines by rule that other systems or technologies
are available and sufficient to safeguard the public.
(d) This section does not apply to a licensed SPMO (as defined in
IC 4-31-7.5-6).
