58 Pa. Code § 165.118 - Trifecta
(a) No trifecta
wagering may be conducted without permission of the Commission. The only races
in which "trifecta" type pari-mutuel wagering is permitted, are those races
designated by the Commission and a separate pool is established
therefor.
(b) The trifecta is a
form of pari-mutuel wagering in a single race in which the bettor selects a
ticket combining in exact finishing order, as officially posted the first,
second and third place winner.
(c)
Trifecta tickets shall be sold only at trifecta windows by the
licensee.
(d) The trifecta is not a
parlay and except as set forth in this section, has no connection with or
relation to the win, place and show betting and will be calculated as an
entirely separate pool.
(e)
Trifecta tickets shall be sold in at least $2 denominations or in such
denominations as from time to time are approved by the Commission.
(f) If no ticket is sold on the winning
combination of a trifecta pool, the net pool shall be distributed to the
holders of tickets selecting the win and place finishers in that order. If no
ticket is sold combining the win and place finish, the net pool will be
distributed to the holders of tickets selecting the winner. If less than three
horses finish, the payoff will be made to holders of tickets selecting the
finishing horses in order, ignoring the balance of the selection.
(g) If no ticket is sold that would require
distribution of the trifecta pool to a winner defined in this section, the
licensee shall make a complete and full refund of the Trifecta Pool.
(h) In the event of a dead heat or dead
heats, all trifecta tickets selecting the correct order of finish, counting a
horse in a dead heat as finishing in either position dead heated, shall be
winning tickets. The payoff will be calculated as a place pool by dividing the
net trifecta pool by the total purchase price of winning tickets.
(i) In the event of a scratch in the trifecta
no exchanges will be made. All tickets which include the scratched horse are
eliminated from further participation in the trifecta pool and will be
refunded.
(j) Coupled entries and
fields are allowed in trifecta races as set forth in §
163.95 (relating to coupled
entries).
(k) Trifecta tickets
shall be sold only by the licensee through pari-mutuel machines programmed to
print all selections on one ticket. Resale of these tickets from one individual
to another is prohibited and shall be grounds for ejection.
(l) Each association shall print in heavy
type in a conspicuous place in its daily printed program all the provisions of
this section and post printed copies of this section about the track in places
as it deems available.
