• A. A procedure to boost payout odds
• B. A process to verify that game payouts match stated odds and regulatory requirements
• C. A method to track player preferences
• D. A system to calculate jackpots only

Answer: (B)

Payout integrity is tested by comparing the observed long‑term payout percentage of a game to its stated odds and the regulatory requirements. Auditors gather payout data over a defined period, analyze how often and how much players win, and determine whether the return-to-player aligns with the advertised numbers and legal minimums. This ensures fairness, checks for tampering or miscalibration, and demonstrates regulatory compliance. It’s not about boosting payouts, nor about tracking player preferences, and it covers the overall payout behavior of the game, not just large jackpots.
