Tote system

No calculators - no tear off tickets

Every compered event we run includes our unique and easy to use touch screen tote.

Our computerised tote system has long replaced tear off tickets and calculating by hand. For most events, one system is sufficient. It's quick and easy to use, and we'll show you how it's done, so one terminal is great for events with up to about 80 people. For our larger events, we can link systems together to provide multiple tote stations, for £40 per tote (if your volunteers are manning the tote - though we can provide our own staff if preferred). The only limit is your audience.

 

How it works

First off, if your own volunteers are using our tote, we'll provide some quick training - it's designed to be really easy to use.

Guests place stakes from £1 and upwards, on as many horses as they like for each race. Each transaction is recorded on an instantly printed 'betting slip', just like the tote at the race course. When your lucky punters collect their winnings, they simply bring their slip back to the tote, where it is scanned by your volunteers, and the payout is calculated and displayed instantly on-screen. We've tried to make it as easy as possible, with no calculators, and no errors.

At the end of the night we'll provide a convenient print out of the takings and payouts, so you can see your fundraising efforts right away.
