All baseball, basketball, and hockey games must be played on date and site specified for action unless specified otherwise on printed media. All other events including football must be held within one week of scheduled date and at originally specified site to be considered action unless specified otherwise on printed media.

For betting purposes, the winner of an event or game will be determined on the date of the event's conclusion according to house wagering rules. The Gold Strike Race & Sports Book does not recognize suspended games, (Exception: see baseball rules) protests, and overturned decisions/results for wagering purposes. Once competition is official, wagers will be paid on the initial results.

On all future event wagers involving a recognized sports organization; i.e. Super Bowl, World Series, etc., the winner as determined by the league commissioner, chairman, or other authoritative officer at the conclusion of said event, and will also be declared the winner for betting purposes.

In two-way match-up proposition wagers, specified player, team or animal must start for action or wager is refunded. In the event that any participant "starts" but fails to finish for any reason, the opponent shall be deemed the winner for betting purposes.

Games are official after: Football (professional and college): 55 minutes of play Basketball (professional): 43 minutes of play Basketball (college): 35 minutes of play. Hockey (professional or college): 55 minutes of play Baseball: see baseball disclaimer Soccer: 90 minutes of play plus any added injury time Auto Racing: Race winner will be deemed official for wagering purpose as announced by sanctioning body regardless of laps completed Olympics: Games/results are official once there is an award ceremony for that particular event

Boxing/MMA (professional and amateur): When the bell is sounded signifying the start of the opening round, the bout is considered official for betting purposes, regardless of the scheduled length, weight, classification and/or championship sanction. In round proposition bets, when the bell sounds signifying the end of a round, that is considered a full round for wagering purposes. If the bout is officially stopped prior to the bell, that round is not considered a full round. If the fight is stopped for any reason in between rounds, the fight will for wagering purposes, be determined to have stopped in the last completed round. For all "pick the round" propositions, if the length of the bout is changed from that posted or noted on printed media, all wagers are deemed "no action" and refunded.

All specified period(s) wagers and non-full game wagers: All specified period(s) wagering propositions must be played to conclusion of specified period(s) of play or will be deemed "no action" and money refunded. Overtime period(s) are included as part of the second half.

In Boxing/MMA:

(a) "K.O." proposition wagers: "K.O." includes knockout, technical knockout, disqualification, or any other stoppage unless otherwise posted or noted on printed media.

Baseball games are official after five (5) innings of play, unless the home team is leading in which event the game is official after four and one half (4 1/2) innings. Thereafter, if a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie or take the lead in the bottom half of the inning in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. When wagering on total runs or run lines, the game must go 9 full innings (8 1/2 if the home team is ahead) to have action
