In casino machines, what does 'credit' refer to?

• A. The amount loaded into the machine as credits.
• B. The actual cash inserted by the player.
• C. The payout percentage.
• D. The jackpot amount.

Answer: (A)

Credit is the balance of playable value currently loaded into the machine. When you insert money, the machine converts that cash into credits and shows a number on the screen representing how many credits you have to play with. You place bets using those credits, and wins add credits back to your balance while bets reduce it. The actual cash you insert is simply the source of those credits, not the ongoing playing unit by itself. The payout percentage and the jackpot are about the game’s odds and top-prize, not your immediate available balance. So, credit refers to the amount loaded into the machine as credits.
