WHAT DOES TOTALISATOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

totalisator

Tote board

A tote board is a large numeric or alphanumeric display used to convey information, typically at a race track or at a telethon. The term "tote board" comes from the colloquialism for "totalizator", the name for the automated system which runs parimutuel betting, calculating payoff odds, displaying them, and producing tickets based on incoming bets. The first totalisator was invented by William Brownie Garden. The machine was installed at Ellerslie Racecourse in New Zealand in 1925, and the second was installed at Gloucester Park Racetrack in Western Australia in 1930. George Julius founded Automatic Totalisators Limited in 1917, which supplied the "Premier Totalisator: now including electrical components". The first totalisators installed in the United States were at Hialeah Park, Florida, in 1932, and at Arlington Park racecourse, Chicago, in 1933. The first entirely electronic totalisator was developed in 1966. Totalisators have been superseded by general purpose computers running specialised wagering software such as Autotote.
