Unless the context indicates otherwise, the following definitions are applicable throughout this Part.
(a)Multiple-gaming-device-linked progressive means multiple gaming devices that offer a common progressive jackpot or jackpots that are linked to a progressive controller within a single gaming facility location.
(b)Multi-site progressive gaming device means a device that is interconnected in more than one gaming facility.
(c)Progressive controller means hardware and software that control communications among the devices that calculate the values of progressive jackpots and display information within a progressive gaming device link and on the associated progressive meter.
(d)Progressive gaming device means a gaming device that has an increasing jackpot, based on a pre-set rate of progression. A progressive gaming device may include games that award progressive jackpots or a pool based on criteria other than obtaining winning symbols on the machine, such as “mystery jackpot.” A progressive gaming device does not include one in which games incorporate a bonus feature as part of the game theme that offers awards that increase as the game is played and does not allow for configuration of typical progressive game parameters (e.g., seed values, contribution rates, overflow values, max pool values, etc.).
(e)Progressive jackpot means an award for a winning play of a game or, in the case of a mystery jackpot, a non-winning play of the game.
(f)Progressive meter means a progressive gaming device that is, or devices that are, linked, directly or indirectly to a mechanical, electrical or electronic device, including a video display, if applicable, that shows the payoff that increases at a pre-set rate of progression.
(g)Stand-alone progressive gaming device means a single progressive game that is not a part of a link.
