In a gaming system, which term describes the component that shows the current jackpot amount to players in real time?

• A. Point of sale
• B. Progressive jackpot display
• C. Personal display unit (PDU)
• D. Progressive jackpot server

Answer: (B)

The live visual of the growing jackpot is shown by the progressive jackpot display. This is the part of the system that players see on machines and terminals, reflecting the current jackpot total in real time. It stays in sync by receiving updates from the progressive jackpot backend, which handles tracking contributions and calculating the pool. The display is specifically the viewer for that amount, while the backend server does the math and management, and other terms refer to different functions (transactions at a POS, or a personal display unit for individual promos) that aren’t the real-time jackpot visualization.
