totalisator

The sum to be paid as duty on totalisator stakes or bets was increased to one shilling in the pound from the sixpence provided by the Act of 1892.

Betting was conducted by the totalisator, or pari-mutuel, the bet being five dollars, repeated as often as you liked.

On race days mounted military police are stationed outside the rails to keep order, and British troops are on duty in the enclosures keeping the gates, serving refreshments, and assisting in the totalisator.

There was only one stand, and that was opposite the old jail; there was no totalisator and no book-makers.

The Royal Engineers erected a grand stand of sandbags, and a totalisator.
