The racing commissioner shall not allow a holder of a race meeting license to conduct pari-mutuel wagering on the outcome of a live horse race run in the past at a licensed racetrack unless the legislative body for the local unit of government in which the licensed racetrack is located has adopted an ordinance authorizing the activities surrounding the conduct of pari-mutuel wagering on the outcome of a live horse race run in the past at the licensed racetrack. (2) If pari-mutuel wagering is used at a race meeting, a totalisator or other device that is equal in accuracy and clearness to a totalisator and approved by the racing commissioner must be used. The odds display of the totalisator or other device must be placed in full view of the patrons. (3) Subject to section 18(3), each holder of a race meeting license shall retain as his or her commission on all forms of straight wagering 17% of all money wagered involving straight wagering on the results of live and simulcast horse races conducted at the licensee's race meetings.

(5) Payoff prices of tickets of a higher denomination must be calculated as even multiples of the payoff price for a $1.00 wager. Each holder of a race meeting license shall distribute to the persons holding winning tickets, as a minimum, a sum not less than $1.10 calculated on the basis of each $1.00 deposited in a pool, except that each race meeting licensee may distribute a sum of not less than $1.05 to persons holding winning tickets for each $1.00 deposited in a minus pool. As used in this subsection, "minus pool" means any win, place, or show pool in which the payout would exceed the total value of the pool. (6) A holder of a race meeting license shall not knowingly permit a person less than 18 years of age to be a patron of the pari-mutuel wagering conducted or supervised by the holder. (7) Any act or transaction relative to pari-mutuel wagering on the results of live or simulcast horse races may be conducted by a race meeting licensee under this act for the race meeting licensee to must comply with the auditing requirements of section 23.

(8) Any form of pari-mutuel wagering on the results of live or simulcast horse races must only be conducted or operated by a race meeting licensee, which may use its contracted licensed third-party facilitators, as determined and approved by the racing commissioner. The race meeting licensee is responsible for all conduct of its third-party facilitators. All wagers must be placed by persons within this state and may be placed only in person at a licensed race meeting or electronically through a licensed third-party facilitator. A race meeting licensee or licensed third-party facilitator shall not solicit, offer, accept, or process wagers on or in connection with other gaming or gambling products, including, but not limited to, slot machines and casino table games. (9) A person that does not hold a race meeting license or a third-party facilitator license that solicits or accepts wagers on the results of live or simulcast horse races from individuals in this state is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $10,000.00, or both. Each act of solicitation or wager that is accepted in violation of this section is a separate offense. (10) Only a race meeting licensee or its contracted licensed third-party facilitator may process, accept, offer, or solicit wagers on the results of live or simulcast horse races as determined and approved by the racing commissioner.
