In an effort to grow a carryover while reducing the effective takeout for the daily pool, that 12% takeout on the Charles Town 6-12 will be coupled with a structure calling for 75% of the daily pool to be paid out on days there are multiple tickets identifying 6 winners or when there are no tickets pegging the correct 6 horses. One aspect of the 6-12 designed to make it more appealing to fans is the low takeout of 12% offered on the wager. Outside of days where any carryover is mandatorily distributed, the entire pool including any carryover will only be paid out should there be one unique winning wager. Should multiple wagers identify the 6 winners, those bettors will be paid out a percentage of that day's pool, with the remainder being added to the carryover for the next scheduled card. Similar to previously implemented wagers at other venues, the Charles Town 6-12 will require the bettor to select the winner of 6 consecutive races on the day's card.
Beginning with its card on August 17, Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races will offer patrons the opportunity to play a new 20-cent Pick 6 wager, the Charles Town 6-12.
