Different machine types require different protection approaches. A device that works perfectly on a fish table may be ineffective on a top ball machine because the attack vectors are different. These best practices cover how to choose the right anti-cheat device for each machine type on your floor.
Fish Tables: Gen2 Signal Blocker
Fish tables are most vulnerable to wireless signal injection and jamming. The Gen2 device covers 300-2400MHz and blocks all documented wireless attack methods. Coverage range of 2.5-3 meters protects 2-3 machines per device. Plug-and-play installation with no machine modification required.
Top Ball Machines: V5 or K8 Anti-Theft Dog
Top ball machines are most vulnerable to data interception on the communication cables. The V5 (multi-machine, 5-8m range) or K8 (single-machine) monitors the data pathway and blocks unauthorized reads. Requires inline cable connection but no soldering or board modification.
Coin Pushers: Gen1 Inline Protector
Coin pushers are most vulnerable to coin mech signal injection and physical manipulation. The Gen1 device (1-1.5m range) monitors the coin mech pathway for unauthorized signals. Combine with tamper-evident seals and daily cable inspections for complete coverage.
Claw Machines: Gen1 Code Blocker
Claw machines are most vulnerable to cheat code exploitation and test mode access. The Gen1 device monitors button panel inputs and blocks cheat code sequences. Also protects against signal injection on the claw control line.
Roulette Machines: Gen2 + Cable Security
Roulette machines are most vulnerable to data cable taps and wireless signal interception. Combine Gen2 signal monitoring with physical cable security and tamper-evident cabinet seals. Two layers address both attack vectors.
Lottery Machines: K8 Inline Data Monitor
Lottery machines are most vulnerable to data interception on the ticket printer cable. The K8 device provides targeted protection for this specific vulnerability. Combine with daily ticket inventory reconciliation for complete coverage.
