AmTote International, a subsidiary of 1/ST Technology, has inked a long-term betting arrangement with Birmingham Race Course and VictoryLand, located in Alabama.
According to this multi-year agreement, both facilities will transition from their present totalisator provider to AmTote in April.
The company will start providing 1/ST Technology equipment and services to support both operators’ pari-mutuel betting offerings. In addition to AmTote’s core totalisator technology and related race-day control services, Birmingham Race Course and VictoryLand will also receive retail point-of-sale (POS) betting terminals, self-service betting kiosks, and mobile wagering applications.

About American Totalisator
The American Totalisator Company, currently known as AmTote International (often abbreviated as AmTote), is a manufacturer of totalisator equipment used to regulate pari-mutuel betting at horse racing, greyhound racing, and jai-alai facilities. The company was formed by Harry L. Straus, who became interested in a more equitable method of calculating and publishing parimutuel betting odds and payouts following an incident at a Maryland racetrack in 1927 in which a horse posted at 12:1 odds won but paid off at 4:1. Straus’ new company put its first piece of equipment at Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course, which displayed odds and payments on lit boards dubbed ”tote boards.” American Totalisator established its first electro-mechanical tote system in 1933 at Arlington Heights, Illinois’s Arlington Park. Strauss patents 2,179,698 issued 11/14/39 and 2,182,875, issued 12/12/39 served as a foundation for AmTote’s emergence as North America’s once-dominant producer of totalizator systems. AmTote has deployed over 800 tote systems worldwide. The original electromechanical devices have been phased out in favor of completely automated systems that allow bettors to place and collect wagers at the same window, self-service betting terminals, Internet and telephone wagering, and ”hub” systems that assist simulcast wagering.
