Which term describes a jackpot that grows with each wager until a single win?

• A. Progressive jackpot
• B. Point of sale
• C. Personal display unit
• D. Player tracking card

Answer: (A)

Progressive jackpots are pots that grow with every wager because a portion of each bet is added to a shared jackpot pool. This ongoing contribution causes the total to rise until a winner hits the required trigger, making the potential payout much larger than a fixed amount. These jackpots can be local, tied to a single game or machine, or wide-area, linked across many machines or casinos, which explains why they can become so substantial. The other terms describe systems or devices unrelated to a growing prize: point of sale relates to processing transactions, a personal display unit is just an on-machine screen, and a player tracking card is used for loyalty programs.
