Which device loads and runs slot machine games?

• A. Local Server
• B. Game Downloader
• C. Central Server
• D. Slot Unit Processor

Answer: (C)

In this setup, the game logic and assets are loaded and executed on a central server, with the slot cabinet acting as a client that displays the game and handles user input. The central server runs the game, processes spins, handles the random outcomes, payouts, and updates, and then streams the results and visuals to the slot unit. The slot unit’s own processor mainly manages hardware controls, display rendering, and interaction; it doesn’t run the full game logic by itself in a server-based architecture. A game downloader is simply a tool for transferring game content, not the component that runs the game. So, the device that loads and runs slot machine games is the central server.
