13 Miss. Code. R. 9-4.7 - Computation Equipment

(a) An electronic totalisator shall be used for each event upon which pari-mutuel wagering is conducted, unless written consent is given by the commission to use different equipment or methods. The equipment must automatically: register the total amount wagered in each mutuel pool; the total amount wagered on each participant in a game or race for win, place and show; the total amount wagered on each combination in each exotic pool offered by the sending track, and shall issue a ticket representing each wager comprising each required total.

(b) A license may not be issued until such tests as required and performed by the commission have been made and the equipment conforms to the requirements of these regulations, the commission, and any other applicable governing body of the pari-mutuel wagering that is to be conducted.

(c) The licensee may be required to conduct such test as the commission may prescribe from time to time upon totalisators and ancillary equipment.

(d) Failure of the totalisator to meet the requirements as established by these regulations and the commission shall be grounds for ordering the suspension of pari-mutuel wagering until such time as the deficiencies have been corrected.

(e) The totalisator shall calculate the total amounts in each pool and the amounts wagered on each entrant or combination from time to time as wagering progresses. Win odds, probable pays and will-pays shall be prominently displayed to the wagering public on simulcast video generated from the sending track.

(f) The totalisator shall be designed so that all ticket machines shall automatically lock and close upon the activation of the off bell which must be activated no later than the start of the event.

(g) A report of any faulty operation of the totalisator or tote board shall be filed with the commission within 24 hours following the malfunction.

(h) Whenever the totalisator mechanism fails and a Mississippi licensee's casino simulcast wagers are not included in the host track pools, all moneys wagered on the sporting event shall be refunded.

(i) Pari-mutuel wagering records shall be retained for a period of 3 years.
