Auditing your arcade for cheating vulnerabilities does not require specialized equipment. This 6-step process uses the data you already have to identify weak points in your protection.
Step 1: Collect Machine Data
Pull the payout log and cash intake record for every machine for the last 30 days. You need both sets of data for each machine. If you do not have individual machine cash records, start collecting them.
Step 2: Calculate Deviation
For each machine, calculate the percentage difference between cash intake and payout log. Machines above 3% deviation warrant further investigation. Note which machines show the largest gaps and whether the gaps are consistent or intermittent.
Step 3: Identify Patterns
Consistent gaps across multiple machines suggest configuration issues. Isolated gaps on one machine suggest hardware faults or targeted cheating. Intermittent gaps that correlate with specific times or players suggest signal-based attacks.
Step 4: Inspect Physical Security
Check all machine cabinets for signs of forced entry. Inspect cables for unauthorized attachments. Verify that tamper-evident seals are intact. Check that cabinet keys are accounted for.
Step 5: Review Anti-Cheat Device Logs
If you have protection installed, review the event logs for all devices. Note the number of blocked events and their timing. Cross-reference with payout discrepancies to confirm that the devices are blocking real attacks.
Step 6: Create an Action Plan
Based on the audit findings, create a prioritized action plan. Address configuration errors first. Then add or adjust protection for machines showing signs of signal-based attacks. Schedule a follow-up audit in 30 days to measure progress.
