• A. Major Field Issue
• B. Mobile Gambling
• C. Minor Field Issue
• D. Metered Versus Actual Jackpot Report

Answer: (C)

Field defects are categorized by how serious they are and how quickly they must be addressed on machines already deployed. When a defect is found in the field and the manufacturer is required to fix the game within a specified timeframe, it’s treated as a field issue. The distinction hinges on impact: a major field issue would involve problems that affect payout accuracy, game integrity, or safety and would demand urgent action. In the described scenario, the defect requires a corrective action but doesn’t indicate a direct harm to payout fairness or core gameplay, so it fits the designation of a minor field issue. The other terms aren’t about defect severity in field operations, so they don’t describe this situation.
