Section Game 24.07 - Intertrack wagering - emergency proceduresThe following emergency procedures are established:
(1) Prior to the commencement of wagering on the first race on an intertrack wagering program, both the audio and video signals must be present at the guest track in order for intertrack wagering at the guest track to be conducted. In the event of a loss of either the audio or visual signal, during the race performance, wagering may continue only until the scheduled post-time of the current race at the host track. If both the audio and visual signals are lost, wagering shall immediately cease at the guest track and may not resume until both the audio and visual signal are 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.(2) In the event of 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:(a) In the event the guest licensee's totalizator system fails, all money wagered on the race that was entered into the host track's pools from that guest licensee's totalizator system prior to the time of failure shall remain in the host track's pools only if the guest licensee's totalizator system is reestablished by the start of the race. If the guest licensee's totalizator system is not reestablished by the start of the race, then all money wagered on the race at that guest licensee shall be refunded. In the event money wagered on the race did not enter into the host track's pools and such pool data is available in the guest track totalizator system, a manual merge with the host track's pools shall be performed.(b) In the event the host track's totalizator system fails, all wagering at the host track and guest track and all transmission of data from the guest track to the host track's totalizator system shall cease until the host track system is fully operational. 1. If the host track's totalizator system becomes operational before the start of the race and wagering data is available, transmission of data from guest tracks and wagering shall resume at all racetracks until the stop bet command is issued by the host track.2. If the host track's totalizator system is not operational before the start of the race and wagering data is lost, all wagers at all racetracks on the affected races shall be refunded.Wis. Admin.
