Which term refers to a jackpot that increases when bets are placed on an individual gambling machine?

• A. spread betting
• B. ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO)
• C. standalone progressive jackpot
• D. tilt switch

Answer: (C)

This is about how jackpots grow on a casino slot machine. A standalone progressive jackpot is the jackpot that increases from bets placed on that specific machine only. Each wager on that machine contributes a little to the jackpot, causing it to rise over time. When it’s won, it resets back to a base amount and starts growing again on that same machine.

In contrast, spread betting relates to wagering on price moves, not slot jackpots; ticket-in/ticket-out is a cash-handling system for redeeming play; and a tilt switch is a sensor that detects the machine being tilted or tampered with. A linked or wide-area progressive would grow based on bets across many machines, not just one, which is why it’s a different concept from what’s described here.
