Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. An association
may conduct wagering on historical horse races of any horse breed regardless of
the type of breed that primarily races in live meets conducted by the
association. An association may conduct wagering on historical horse races on
any days and hours approved by the commission, and shall not be limited to
times during which the association is conducting a live horse race
meeting.
B. A mutuel wager on
historical horse races may be placed only from a physical facility of a
licensee.
C. A mutuel wager on
historical horse racing may not be placed using a mobile device unless the
system communicating with the mobile device to place the wager is fully
controlled and operated by the licensed facility at which the wager is placed.
For the purposes of this Section, "fully controlled and operated" means the
licensed facility develops, owns, leases, acquires a license for, or otherwise
contracts for services to operate and control a mobile historical horse racing
wagering system.
D. No licensee may
accept a mutuel wager on historical horse racing if the wager is placed via a

technical requirements within these rules.
E. Nothing in this Section independently
authorizes wagering or facilitation of wagering on historical horse racing
outside of the licensed pari-mutuel wagering operation.
F. Any historical horse racing solution that
relies on wireless networked communications, including all mobile historical
horse racing systems, shall annually conduct a system integrity and security
risk assessment performed by an independent information technology security
professional approved by the commission. The system integrity and security risk
assessment shall be conducted no later than 90 days after commencing operations
and annually thereafter. The scope of the pari-mutuel wagering system integrity
and security assessment is subject to the approval of the commission and must
include:
1. A vulnerability assessment of
digital platforms, mobile applications, internal, external, and wireless
networks with the intent of identifying vulnerabilities of all devices, the
historical horse racing system, and applications transferring, storing, and/or
processing personal identifying information or other sensitive information
connected to or present on the networks;
2. A penetration test of all digital
platforms, mobile applications, and internal, external, and wireless networks
to confirm devices, the historical horse racing wagering systems, and
applications are not susceptible to compromise;
3. A review of the firewall rules to verify
the operating condition of the firewall and the effectiveness of its security
configuration and rule sets that must be performed on all perimeter and
internal firewalls;
4. A technical
security control assessment against the commission's technical requirements for
security and with generally accepted professional standards;
5. An evaluation of information security
services, cloud services, payment services, financial institutions, payment
processors, location services, and any other services that may be offered
directly by the licensee or involve the use of third parties; and
6. At the discretion of the executive
director, any additional assessments or specific testing criteria which may be
required by internal control procedures.
G. All wagers offered on historical horse
races shall incorporate the following elements:
1. A patron may only wager on historical
horse races on a terminal approved by the commission;
2. For each different type of exotic wager on
historical horse races offered by an association, the association shall at all
times maintain at least two terminals offering each such exotic
wager;
3. Once a patron deposits an
amount in the terminal offering wagering on historical horse races, one or more
historical horse races shall be made available for wagering as set forth in the
wagering specification rules;
4.
Prior to the patron making his or her wager selections, the terminal shall not
display any information that would allow the patron to identify the historical
horse race or races on which he or she is wagering, including the location of
the race or races, the date on which the race or races was run, the names of
the horses in the race or races, or the names of the jockeys that rode the
horses in the race or races;
5. The
terminal shall make available true and accurate past performance information on
the historical horse race to the patron prior to making his or her wager
selections. The information shall be current as of the day the historical horse
race was actually run. The information provided to the patron shall be
displayed on the terminal in data or graphical form; and
6. After a patron finalizes his or her wager
selections, the terminal shall display the patron's successful selections, the
official results of each race, and a replay of the race or races, or a portion
thereof, whether by digital or animated depiction or by way of a video
recording. The identity of each race shall be revealed or made available to the
patron after the patron has placed his or her wager.
