Kan. Admin. Regs. § 112-9-41a - Twin trifecta
(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:
(1) as a
single price pool to those whose combination finishes in the same sequence as
the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(2) as a single price pool to
those whose combination includes, in correct sequence, the first two betting
interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(3) as a single price pool to those whose
combination correctly selects the first-place betting interest only; but if
there are no such wagers, then
(4)
the entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for
that contest and the second-half shall be canceled.
(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:
(1) as a single price pool, including any
existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finishes in the same
sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are no such
tickets, then
(2) the entire
second-half twin trifecta pool for that contest shall be added to any existing
carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second-half twin trifecta
pool of the next consecutive performance.
(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:
(1) as a single price pool to
those whose combination finishes in the same sequence as the first three
betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
(2) as a single price pool to those whose
combination includes, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but
if there are no such wagers, then
(3) as a single price pool to those whose
combination correctly selects the first-place betting interest only; but if
there are no such wagers, then
(4)
as a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets, but if there are
no holders of valid exchange tickets, then
(5) as a single price pool to holders of
outstanding first-half winning tickets.
(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:
(1) upon written approval from the commission
as provided in subparagraph (n) of this regulation; or
(2) upon written approval from the commission
when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the twin trifecta is
discontinued; or
(3) on the
closing performance of the meeting or split meeting.
(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.
