	Totalisator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A totalisator or totalizator (tote board in common parlance) is the name for the computerised system which runs parimutuel betting, calculating payoff odds, displaying them, and producing tickets based on incoming bets.
		The first totalisator was an entirely mechanical system invented by the Australian George Julius of Julius Poole and Gibson Pty Ltd. It was installed at Ellerslie Racecourse in New Zealand in 1913.
		The first totalisator installed in the United States was at Arlington Park racecourse, Chicago, in 1933.

		Petitioner alternatively argues that the purchase of the totalisator services is exempt for resale because it is also being resold as an integral part of all simulcast cable television services sold by the sending racetrack to the receiving racetrack.
		The totalisator services of the type sold by Claimant are essential to the operation of a pari-mutuel race scoreboard and are, therefore, an essential part of the pari-mutuel race itself.
		The totalisator services are an integral part of the pari-mutuel wagering but they are not an integral part of the admission fee to the racetrack.

	RACING, HORSE - The Totalisator - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Despite its inefficiency, the totalisator must have greatly interfered with the business of the on-course bookmakers, or they must have foreseen a strong future competitor, for there were various attempts to ban the totalisator, the Churches and other anti-gambling factions joining the bookmakers in their attack.
		Totalisator dividends had to be paid to the nearest 6d., and the number of totalisator permits was reduced by one-sixth from 1 September 1908.
		He thrived because the telephone and the telegraph could not be used to put money on the totalisator and because dividends could not be published, with the result that the turnover of illegal bookmakers was estimated at £24,000,000 by 1946.

	Lotto Samoa Games Ltd v Western Samoa Sports Federation [1996] WSSC 19; CP 38-96 (11 April 1996)
		The second defendant which is Totalisator Agency Board, is statutory body which is set up under the provisions of the Betting (Totalisator Agency) Act 1990 with powers to issue licences for lotto and other games of chance.
		The circumstances are not sufficiently strong to persuade this Court that the absence of a response from the second defendant's chairman to what was said by the plaintiff's managing director implied that an exclusive licence was to be granted to the plaintiff.
		Accordingly, in the absence of any response from the second defendant's chairman when the plaintiff's managing director said the plaintiff needs an exclusive licence to run lotto for about 10 years cannot be construed as an absence of a response from the second defendant which is really the entity vested with the necessary power.

		Lastly, as regards the Commission's third criterion, the limited nature of the reduction applied by the French authorities to the rate of the public levy, the fact that the level of aid is relatively low does not as such rule out the application of Article 92(1) of the Treaty.
		Their use to finance in particular social security expenditure together with monitoring and supervision costs, horse-breeding incentives and investment connected with the organisation of horse-racing and totalisator betting cannot therefore be regarded as State aid, since the State resources criterion is not met (parts IV and V, point 1).
		Lastly, as the Commission rightly emphasised, the decision to assist the racecourse undertakings in computerising their organisation of totalisator betting was taken well before the PMU acquired legal personality in 1985 and the latter's decision to extend its operations abroad by the creation of the PMI in 1989.

		The first complete totalisator system was installed at Arlington Park in Chicago in 1933 and made possible modern, large-scale racetrack betting.
		Likewise, American Totalisator remained a small specialty company instead of evolving into a computer giant and was sold to Universal Products Company in 1956.
