Article 9 - PARIMUTUEL WAGERING
Section 112-9-41a - Twin trifecta
Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 39, September 26, 2024
(a) The twin trifecta requires selection of the first three finishers, in their exact order, in each of two designated contests. Each winning ticket for the first twin trifecta contest must be exchanged for a free ticket for the second twin trifecta contest in order to remain eligible for the second-half twin trifecta pool. These tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second twin trifecta contest. Winning first-half twin trifecta wagers will receive both an exchange and a monetary payoff. Both of the designated twin trifecta contests shall be included in only one twin trifecta pool.
(b) After wagering closes for the first-half of the twin trifecta and the commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net pool then shall be divided into separate pools: the first-half twin trifecta pool and the second-half twin trifecta pool.
(c) In the first twin trifecta contest only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first twin trifecta contest and disregarding all coupled or field entries other than the first contestant of a coupled or field entry to finish:
(d) If no first-half twin trifecta ticket selects the first three finishers of that contest in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second-half twin trifecta pool. In such case, the second-half twin trifecta pool shall be retained and added to any existing twin trifecta carryover pool.
(e) Winning tickets from the first-half of the twin trifecta shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first three finishers of the second-half of the twin trifecta. The second-half twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second twin trifecta contest and disregarding all coupled or field entries other than the first contestant of a coupled or field entry to finish:
(f) If a winning first-half twin trifecta ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second-half twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder may collect the monetary value associated with the first-half twin trifecta pool, but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second-half twin trifecta pool.
(g) If a betting interest in the first-half of the twin trifecta is scratched, those twin trifecta wagers, including the scratched betting interest, shall be refunded.
(h) If a betting interest in the second-half of the twin trifecta is scratched, an announcement concerning the scratch shall be made and a reasonable amount of time shall be provided for the exchange of tickets that include the scratched betting interest. If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second-half twin trifecta pool.
(i) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in the second-half of the twin trifecta is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second-half twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not the twin-trifecta carryover.
(j) If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first-or second-half of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta wagers selecting the correct order of finish, counting a betting interest involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead-heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in the first-half of the twin trifecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a profit split. In the case of a dead heat occurring in the second-half of the twin trifecta, the payoff shall be calculated as a single price pool.
(k) If either of the twin trifecta contests is canceled prior to the first twin trifecta contest or if the first twin trifecta contest is declared a "no contest," the entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for that contest, and the second-half of the twin trifecta shall be canceled.
(l) If the second-half twin trifecta contest is canceled or declared "no contest," all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning twin trifecta tickets shall be entitled to the net twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not to the twin trifecta carryover. If there are no such tickets, the net twin trifecta pool shall be distributed as described in subparagraph (c) of this regulation.
(m) The twin trifecta carryover may be capped at a designated level as provided in these racing regulations.
(n) An organization licensee may request permission to distribute the twin trifecta jackpot on a specific performance. The request shall be submitted to the commission in writing and shall include justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived and the intended date and performance when the distribution will be made.
(o) If the twin trifecta carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in determining winning tickets for the second-half of the twin trifecta after completion of the first-half of the twin trifecta:
(p) Notwithstanding the provisions of this regulation, during a performance designated to distribute the twin trifecta carryover, exchange tickets shall be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first-half of the twin trifecta. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-, second-, and third-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-and second-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-and second-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place betting interest only in the first-half of the twin trifecta, all first-half tickets shall become winners and shall receive 100 percent of that day's net twin trifecta pool and any existing twin trifecta carryover as a single price pool.
(q) The twin trifecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
(r) If, for any reason, the twin trifecta carryover must be carried over to the corresponding twin trifecta pool of a subsequent meeting, the jackpot shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The twin trifecta carryover and accrued interest then shall be added to the second-half twin trifecta pool of the following meeting on a date and performance designated by the commission.
(s) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations or number of tickets sold is prohibited. This shall not prohibit any necessary communication for the processing of pool data between totalisator and parimutuel department employees.
(t) The organization licensee shall obtain written approval from the commission concerning the scheduling of twin trifecta contests, the percentages of the net pool added to the first-half pool and second-half pool and the designated amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any modification of the approved twin trifecta procedures requires prior approval from the commission.
