11VAC10-47-60. Payouts from pari-mutuel pools generated by wagering on historical horse racing.

A. A wager on a historical horse race, less deductions permitted by the act, shall be placed in pari-mutuel pools approved by the commission.

B. A licensee shall provide guaranteed funding for all historical horse race pools offered by the licensee. This guarantee shall be in the form of a letter of credit, bond with surety, or other instrument of financial security in an amount and form approved by the commission sufficient to cover outstanding vouchers together with any indebtedness incurred by the licensee to the Commonwealth.

C. A licensee offering wagering on a historical horse race shall maintain pari-mutuel pools for each wager in a manner and method approved by the commission. The pari-mutuel pools shall be maintained and funded in a method approved by the commission to ensure that the amount available in the pari-mutuel pools at any given time is sufficient to ensure that a patron will be paid the minimum amount required on a winning wager.

D. All prizes awarded from a historical horse race wager shall be awarded from an existing pari-mutuel pool. The money in the pool shall only consist of money wagered by patrons or allocated to the pari-mutuel pool. Wagers made on a historical horse race shall not constitute a wager against the licensee. Wagers shall not be conducted in a manner in which the amount retained by the licensee is dependent upon the outcome of any particular race or the success of any particular wager.

E. The rules for the mathematical model, configuration of pools, and pool payout methodology shall be described in game specification documentation, which shall be provided by the licensee to the commission.

F. Controls shall be in place to ensure that depletion of a pari-mutuel pool below an amount required to pay all winning tickets shall be detected at the time of depletion, and depletion shall result in the automatic suspension of any wagering activity related to that pool. The commission shall be notified immediately in the event of the suspension of wagering activity of any historical horse racing pool.
