Which term refers to a server that translates the protocol implemented on a Video Lottery Terminal to the protocol understood by a central server?

• A. Game Protocol Converter
• B. Game to System (G2S)
• C. Gambling Software
• D. Game Authentic Terminal (GAT)

Answer: (A)

A server that sits between the Video Lottery Terminal and the central server and translates the messages between their two communication languages is performing protocol translation. This role is best described by the term that literally means converting game protocol messages to the system protocol understood by the central server. So, the idea that this is a Game Protocol Converter fits because it handles mapping commands, data formats, and responses so both sides can understand each other, acting as a gateway between the VLT and the central system.

G2S, while important, is the standard used for the communication itself, not the translating device. Gambling Software is too general, and Game Authentic Terminal isn’t a standard term for this function.
