A. A wager on a historical horse race or races, less deductions permitted by R.S. 4:216(E), shall be placed in pari-mutuel pools approved by the commission. B. A payout to a winning patron shall be paid from money wagered by patrons and shall not constitute a wager against the association. C. An association conducting wagering on historical horse races shall not conduct wagering in such a manner that patrons are wagering against the association, or in such a manner that the amount retained by the association as a commission is dependent upon the outcome of any particular race or the success of any particular wager. D. An association offering wagering on historical horse races shall operate a pari-mutuel pool or pools in a manner and method approved by the commission. An association offering wagering on historical horse races may operate a player-funded pool or pools in a manner and method approved by the commission for the purpose of ensuring that sufficient funds are at all times available to pay any winning wagers in situations where a pari-mutuel pool becomes a minus pool. For each wager made, an association may assign a percentage of the wager to a player-funded pool or pools. E. If an association chooses to make a deposit into a trust account or seed pool for the purpose of ensuring that sufficient funds are at all times available to pay any winning wagers in situations where a pari-mutuel pool becomes a minus pool, then such trust account must be approved by the commission.
