It all starts with a database of 100,000 previously ran races for each licensed track (Derby Lane, Parx, Hawthorne and Tampa Bay Downs). The Virtual Racing System utilizes this database to create the day's race cards for each virtual track on the wagering menu. Each virtual race is a re-creation of the exact order of finish of the actual live race contained in the database, but the precise position of the runners during the virtual race will differ from the live race. This not only allows for the races to feel original and new, but also maintains all of the exciting elements of a live race.
Just as you would for a live race, account holders will have access to programs, handicapping information, and video. Wagers placed on the Virtual Racing Product are co-mingled into the pari-mutuel pools of the virtual host track.
Virtual Racing on Greyhound events is only available in the following States as dictated by the pool Host: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming (please note, PTC does not accept accounts from all of these States). Virtual Racing on Horse racing events is not available in Indiana.
Handicapping
The virtual runners' past performances are summarized, taking up to (6) prior races into account. A visual representation of this performance summary is displayed prior to the race running. The display is three lines of stars describing the data: The First line indicates the proportion of 1st and 2nd places. The Second line indicates the proportion of 2nd and 3rd places. The Third and final row indicates the proportion of 3rd or lower finishes.
Wagering
Wagers on the Virtual Racing Product can be placed online or over-the-phone. Once the race results have been declared official, winnings are credited to customer wagering accounts.
