Choosing between 1-meter and 3-meter anti-cheat coverage depends on your floor layout and machine spacing. This guide compares the two coverage options.
1-Meter Coverage (Gen1)
The Gen1 device covers 1-1.5 meters. It is designed for single-machine protection or very tight machine clusters. Best for small venues with compact layouts, single coin pusher installations, or as a budget-friendly option for machines that do not need wide coverage.
3-Meter Coverage (Gen2)
The Gen2 device covers 2.5-3 meters. It can protect 2-3 machines in a typical layout. Best for medium to large venues, rows of machines, or any layout where machines are spaced more than 1 meter apart.
Cost Comparison
A single Gen2 costs more than a Gen1 but protects more machines. For a venue with 10 machines, 5 Gen2 devices may be sufficient. The same venue would need 10 Gen1 devices. The Gen2 approach costs less overall.
Recommendation
If your machines are spaced more than 1 meter apart, choose the Gen2. The per-machine cost is lower, and the wider coverage provides more flexibility for future layout changes.
