In keeping with the global theme of its Symposium on Racing & Gaming, the Race Track Industry Program has announced that it is hosting an International Tote Protocol meeting which will be coordinated by the TRPB.
The meeting will be held immediately following lunch on Tuesday, December 10. Representatives of the four U.S tote companies were notified of this agenda item at the recent TRA 20/20 committee meeting held in Lexington, KY.
The working group will discuss issues and solutions to problems regarding the protocol for merging pools on an international basis. “Simulcasting continues to expand as a global business, so working on the technological challenges between countries is extremely important,” said Doug Reed, director of the Race Track Industry Program.
The University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program has gained worldwide recognition for its annual Global Symposium on Racing & Gaming held in Tucson since 1974. Scheduled for Dec. 9-12, 2013, the event attracts attendees from across the United States and around the globe with cutting-edge topics and trends of importance to the pari-mutuel industry.
