A defect that will force a machine manufacturer to correct a game in the field within a given timeframe is called a ...

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

Answer: (C)

The situation describes a defect that needs a field correction within a defined period, but isn’t so critical that it stops the game or risks safety or payout integrity. That’s why it’s categorized as a Minor Field Issue. This level is used for problems that require action from the manufacturer in the field (a repair or update) and are tracked to be resolved within a specified timeframe, rather than requiring immediate, urgent service. In contrast, a Major Field Issue would be reserved for defects that render the game unusable or pose serious risks, demanding rapid response. The other options don’t fit because they refer to unrelated concepts (Mobile Gambling) or to reporting details about jackpots, not to defect severity or field remediation.
