      (2)(a) Single commission pari-mutuel pools may be calculated using either the standard price calculation procedure or the net price calculation procedure.

      (b) Multi-commission pari-mutuel pools shall be calculated using the net price calculation procedure.

      (3) The standard price calculation procedure shall be as follows:

      (a) Single price pools - Win pool

Gross Pool	=	Sum of Wagers on all Betting Interests - Refunds
Takeout	=	Gross Pool x Percent Takeout
Net Pool	=	Gross Pool - Takeout
Profit	=	Net Pool - Gross Amount Bet on Winner
Profit Per Dollar	=	Profit / Gross Amount Bet on Winner
$1 Unbroken Price	=	Profit Per Dollar + $1
$1 Broken Price	=	$1 Unbroken Price Rounded Down to the Break Point
Total Payout	=	$1 Broken Price x Gross Amount Bet on Winner
Total Breakage	=	Net Pool - Total Payout

      (b) Profit split - Place pool. Profit shall be net pool less gross amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers shall split profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for two (2) unique prices.

      (4) The net price calculation procedure shall be as follows:

      (a) Single price pool - Win pool

Gross Pool	=	Sum of Wagers on all Betting Interests – Refunds
Takeout	=	Gross Pool x Percent Takeout for Each Source
Net Pool	=	Gross Pool - Takeout
Net Bet on Winner	=	Gross Amount Bet on Winner x (1 – Percent Takeout)
Total Net Pool	=	Sum of All Sources Net pools
Total Net Bet on Winner	=	Sum of All Sources Net Bet on Winner
Total Profit	=	Total Net Pool - Total Net Bet on Winner
Profit Per Dollar	=	Total Profit / Total Net Bet on Winner
$1 Unbroken Base Price	=	Profit Per Dollar + $1 for each source:
$1 unbroken price	=	$1 Unbroken Base Price x (1 - Percent Takeout)
$1 Broken Price	=	$1 Unbroken Price Rounded Down to the Break Point
Total Payout	=	$1 Broken Price x Gross Amount Bet on Winner
Total Breakage	=	Net Pool - Total Payout

      (b) Profit split - Place pool. Total profit shall be the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers shall split total profit 1/2 and 1/2 (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for two (2) unique unbroken base prices.

      (c) Profit split - Show pool. Total profit shall be the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers shall split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for three (3) unique unbroken base prices.

      (b) The second half Twin Trifecta pool shall be distributed to individuals in the following precedence based upon the official order of finish for the second Twin Trifecta race:

      2. The entire second half Twin Trifecta pool for that race shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second half Twin Trifecta pool of the next consecutive performance.

      (c) If a winning first half Twin Trifecta ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second half Twin Trifecta race, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first half Twin Trifecta pool except the ticket holder shall forfeit all rights to any distribution of the second half Twin Trifecta pool.

      (6) Mutuel entries and mutuel fields shall be prohibited in Twin Trifecta races.

      (b) If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second Twin Trifecta race, the ticket holder shall forfeit all rights to the second half Twin Trifecta pool.

      (9) 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 pool for that race, except they shall not be entitled to the Twin Trifecta carryover.

      (10)(a) 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 winning wagers.

      (a) Justification for the distribution;

      (b) An explanation of the benefit to be derived; and

      (c) The intended date and performance for the distribution.

      (15) 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:

      (a) As a single price pool to individuals whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three (3) betting interests, except if there are not any of those wagers, then;

      (b) As a single price pool to individuals whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two (2) betting interests, except if there are not any of those wagers, then;

      (d) As a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets, except if there are not any of those wagers, then;

      (e) As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first half winning tickets.

      (16) For 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.

      (a) 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 finishers.

      (b) If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first- and second-place finishers, in their exact order, exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting only the first-place finisher.

      (c) If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher only in the first half of the Twin Trifecta, all first half tickets shall be winning tickets and shall be entitled to 100 percent of that performance’s net Twin Trifecta pool, and any existing Twin Trifecta carryover.

      (17) The Twin Trifecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

      (a) Upon written approval from the commission as provided in subsection (14) of this section;

      (b) Upon written approval from the commission if there is a change in the carryover cap or if the Twin Trifecta is discontinued; or

      (c) On the closing performance of the meeting or split meeting.

      (18) If, for any reason, the Twin Trifecta carryover shall be held over to the corresponding Twin Trifecta pool of a subsequent meeting, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The Twin Trifecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second half Twin Trifecta pool of the following meeting on a date and performance so approved by the commission.

      (19) Associations shall not provide information to any individual regarding covered combinations, the number of tickets sold, or the number of valid exchange tickets. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees from processing of pool data.

      (20)(a) Each association shall disclose in its license application whether it intends to schedule Twin-Trifecta wagering and, if so, shall disclose:

      1. The percentages of the net pool added to the first half pool and the second half pool; and
