Section 45-32-151.01Combined pari-mutuel pools and takeout for televised racing events.

With respect to greyhound racing events that are conducted at the Greene County Racetrack and are transmitted by television to other locations, the racing operator may create and administer pari-mutuel pools that, in addition to bets made by bettors at the Greene County Racetrack, include bets made by bettors at one or more of the locations receiving the televised racing events. With respect to horse or greyhound racing events that are conducted at racetracks other than the Greene County Racetrack and are received by television at the Greene County Racetrack, the racing operator may participate in pari-mutuel pools, created and administered by the racetrack conducting the televised events, that include bets made by bettors at the Greene County Racetrack as well as bets made by bettors at the racetrack conducting the televised events and other locations receiving the televised events. Pari-mutuel pools that include bets made by bettors at both the Greene County Racetrack and other locations are herein referred to as combined pools. The amount allowed to the racing operator as the takeout with respect to pari-mutuel pools bet at the Greene County Racetrack on horse or greyhound racing events that are received by television from elsewhere shall be the same as the takeout that would be allowed by applicable law on the same kind of pari-mutuel pools bet on live greyhound racing at the Greene County Racetrack; provided, however, that with respect to horse or greyhound racing events received by television at the Greene County Racetrack, the racing operator, in order to enable bettors at the Greene County Racetrack to participate fully in combined pools, may adjust the takeout for bets placed at the Greene County Racetrack to match the takeout required for the combined pools administered by the racetrack operator transmitting such racing events.
