UT Totalisator Technology Highlights
- Single code base system, allows for a consolidated totalisator solution and not “island” systems that are patched up to keep up with the industry.
- The most efficient totalisator protocol – Our system processes wagers through a single transaction unlike other systems that require multiple transactions creating unnecessary traffic on the tote. On our most recent totalisator system load testing, we simulated the recent on-track Kentucky Derby day system load increased six times within a fifteen (15) minute time frame with no issues. Even on peak days, our system operates using less than 10% of its capacity.
- Totalisator application written in the highly efficient, stable and defacto standard high performance programming language C++. Leading technology companies chose C++ over other available languages.
- United Tote Systems support a variety of pool types and betting styles like the ones approved in major US, Canadian, South Korean and South American jurisdictions.
- Capacity to handle multiple currencies on terminals and ITSP as well as cross-cashing between systems. This feature is heavily utilized in our international operations.
- Web Services platform -Totelink- allows for virtually any type of third party integration, including lottery and fixed odds on the same terminal.
- Business optimization products -UT Vision- features real-time data feeds for continuous database population, allowing track operators to monitor track and customer performance.
- United Tote terminals are intelligent client devices – Our terminal interface design allows for a significant part of the wagering process to occur at the terminal level, reducing the transaction traffic between the tote and the terminal, resulting in faster wager processing.
- Our EnterBet™ wagering interface features up to the minute probable pays, odds and probable pay offs to help the customer on their wager selection.
