Which term describes a progressive jackpot tied to bets across machines in a venue?

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

Answer: (D)

Progressive jackpots that are shared across multiple machines on the floor are described by a linked progressive jackpot. In this setup, every bet placed on any of the connected machines feeds into one central jackpot pool. Because the pool collects bets from across several machines, the total grows faster and can reach very large amounts before someone hits it. When it pays out, it typically resets to a base value and begins growing again. This is different from a single-machine or standalone jackpot, and it’s also unrelated to geolocation features or lottery-style drawings.
