What is the term for a jackpot where bets on machines linked within a venue contribute to a progressive sum?

• A. Linked progressive jackpot
• B. Geolocation
• C. Handicap
• D. Lottery

Answer: (A)

A linked progressive jackpot is a single prize that grows when bets are placed on multiple connected machines. Each spin on any of the linked machines feeds into one shared pot, so the jackpot increases over time until someone wins. This concept fits because the defining feature is that bets from a network of machines contribute to one progressive sum. Geolocation, handicap, and lottery describe different ideas—location tracking, betting adjustments in sports, and a separate ticket-based prize draw, none of which capture the idea of a single jackpot built from linked machine bets.
