Merged Pool is a "one pool wagering concept" which enhances the traditional pari-mutuel framework by allowing the turnover of different bet types to be merged into the same pool.

Quartet and First 4 will be merged to form the "Quartet & First 4 Merged Pool", with various enhancements:

• Available Every Race:With deeper liquidity (due to consolidation of bets), it is possible to make these bet types available every local race with six or more starters.
• Jackpot*:A jackpot will be allocated to the Merged Pool on specific racedays for higher returns.

Customers can still play Quartet and First 4 in the same way as they do today. The Merged Pool concept merely affects the mechanics of odds calculation.

* 0.5% of the turnover of the Pool will be deducted as Jackpot Reserve Deduction. Please refer to the Important Notice for latest details.
