He counts the amount of cash by hand and hands it to the customer. However, with this conventional method, refund operations at each refund/refund counter are processed quickly.

This results in congestion at the refund counter, and at the same time requires more personnel to handle the refund process. In particular, out-of-track visitors make up the majority of current racegoers, and this is expected to continue to increase in the future. With the results, you can be sure that the pari-mutuel betting ticket you purchased was a hit.
