Section R19-2-504. Pari-mutuel Ticket Sales

A.      Pari-mutuel tickets shall be sold only by a permittee licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering or a racetrack permittee-con- tracted ADWP. All tickets shall be sold as prescribed under

A.R.S. §§ 5-111 and 5-112.

B.       A pari-mutuel ticket may not be sold on a contest for which wagering has been closed and a permittee shall not be respon- sible for sales entered into but not completed by issuance of a ticket before the totalisator is closed for wagering on the con- test.

C.      Claims pertaining to a mistake on an issued or unissued ticket must be made by the bettor before leaving the seller’s window. Cancellation or exchange of tickets issued shall not be permit- ted after a patron has left a seller's window except in accor- dance with written policies established by the racetrack permittee and approved by the Department. An ADWP shall abide by the most restrictive policy established by any of the racetrack permittees with which the ADWP contracts.

D.      Payment on winning pari-mutuel wagers shall be made on the basis of the order of finish as purposely posted and declared “official.” Any change in the order of finish or award of purse money that results from a subsequent ruling by the stewards or Department shall in no way affect the pari-mutuel payoff. If an error in the posted order of finish or payoff figures is discov- ered, the official order of finish or payoff prices may be cor- rected and an announcement concerning the change shall be made to the public.

E.       A racetrack permittee shall not satisfy claims on lost, muti- lated, or altered pari-mutuel tickets without authorization of the Department.

F.       A racetrack permittee has no obligation to enter a wager into a betting pool if unable to do so due to equipment failure.

G.      Pari-mutuel tickets shall neither be sold to nor purchased by anyone less than 21 years old.
