§ 5:5-150 — Conditions for participation by out-of-State tracks; interstate common pools.

24. a. Except as provided in subsection b. of this section, the commission shall not permit an out-of-State sending track or an out-of-State host track to participate in off-track simulcasting or qualify as an out-of-State host track, respectively, unless the parimutuel pools respecting the off-track wagering facility or the account wagering system shall be combined with comparable parimutuel pools at the out-of-State track. The types of wagering, takeout, distribution of winnings, rules of racing, method of calculating breakage, and the percentage of deposits remaining undistributed from a parimutuel pool after payment is made to winning ticket holders shall be determined in accordance with the law or policy applicable to the out-of-State track. b. With the prior approval of the commission and the concurrence of the out-of-State track, an off-track wagering licensee or the account wagering licensee, and receiving tracks or entities in other states other than the state in which the out-of-State track is located may form an interstate common pool. With respect to such interstate common pools, the commission may approve types of wagering, takeout, distribution of winnings, rules of racing, method of calculating breakage, and a percentage of deposits remaining undistributed from a parimutuel pool after payment is made to winning ticket holders which are different from those which would otherwise be applied in this State but which are consistent for all parties to the interstate common pool.
