FASTBET® MOBILE WAGERING; JACKPOT HIGH-FIVE;
10-CENT PICK 9 AMONG WAGERING HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2012 ARLINGTON PARK
50-cent Pick 4 and 50-Cent Pick 5 Return for Upcoming Season
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS,
Conceived and created by United Tote, FastBet®
"Our guests can choose the convenience and privacy of wagering with their personal iPhone, iPad, or Android device," said Arlington Park General Manager
Guests can access the FastBet®
To sign up for FastBet® Mobile, or to obtain more information on the FastBet® Mobile service, guests can visit the Membership Services Center located on the second level of the grandstand or can pick up easy-to-understand instructions available at locations throughout the facility.
Whether using FastBet® Mobile, wagering though a live mutuel clerk or at a self-service terminal, or from locations all over the country including via twinspires.com, Arlington Park fans will have a myriad of wagering opportunities for 2012 including a new Jackpot High-5 wager and a 10-cent Pick 9.
The Jackpot High-5 is a twist on the Super High-5 in that the entire net pool will only be paid out when there is one and only one winning ticket sold that correctly selects the first five finishers in exact order. If there are multiple tickets sold that correctly select the first five finishers in exact order, then 50% of the daily Jackpot High-5 pool will be distributed among those ticket holders and 50% of the daily pool will be carried over to the next day. Of course if nobody selects the first five finishers in exact order, the entire daily pool will be carried over to the next day.

The minimum wager on the Jackpot High-5, which will be held on the final race daily, will be $1 and the takeout rate will be 15%.
The Pick 9, starting on the first race daily, asks bettors to correctly select the winner in the first nine races. If nobody selects the winner in each of the first nine races, then 90% of the daily pool will be carried over to the next day with the remaining 10% paid to those ticket holders with the most correct selections. The minimum wager on the Pick 9 will be just 10-cents and the takeout rate will be 15%.
The 50-cent Pick 5 with a 15% takeout returns for the 2012 season with the only change on that wager being there will be no four-of-five consolation payoff when someone correctly picks the winner in all five Pick 5 races. There will continue to be a consolation in the event there is no ticket sold which designates the five official winners of the Pick 5 races with 10% of the net pool distributed to the holders of the tickets that correctly pick the most races correctly, and 90% of the net Pick 5 pool carried over to the next day.
