Carrus - The Parimutuel Company
The brainchild behind Pari mutuel betting, for the last 125 years Carrus has continued to break new ground in every aspect of horserace betting. Exporting its expertise to more than twenty countries, the group has one hundred employees in its technological development team and around 1,000 selling agents at racecourses. Its main activity revolves around four closely linked areas:
Organising betting at racetracks: Carrus processes bets at some 300 racetracks, and every year is responsible for 9 millions betting slips issued from 25,000 counters at 2,300 race meetings.
Designing and manufacturing betting terminals: under the PMC brand, Carrus develops a comprehensive range of powerful, fast and ergonomic terminals, of which 70,000 are currently in service worldwide.
Developing a central system and specialised software applications for horse betting: Carrus is one of only a few specialised companies throughout the world with its own totalisator system, the PMC Star.
Processing bets at racetracks in France and throughout the world: the operational technology and connectability of the PMC Star totalisator enables Carrus to simultaneously manage the commingling of different betting pools at thousands of races in France and abroad.
