A daily pre-opening checklist is your first line of defense against cheating. This 15-item checklist takes 10 minutes to complete and catches most common cheating indicators before they cost you money.
Machine Inspection
1. Verify that all anti-cheat device status lights are green. A missing or non-functioning light means the device is not protecting.
2. Check that all anti-cheat devices are positioned within the specified coverage range of their target machines. Devices that have been bumped during cleaning may have shifted.
3. Inspect all machine cabinets for signs of forced entry, including scratched paint, bent panels, or loose screws around access panels.
4. Check tamper-evident seals on all cabinet doors and service panels. Any broken seal must be investigated immediately.
5. Inspect coin mech cables for extra devices, unusual tape, or signs of disconnection and reconnection.
Log Review
6. Review the anti-cheat device event log for the previous operating day. Note the number of blocked events and any unusual patterns.
7. Compare the machine payout log against the device event log. Correlating timestamps can identify specific cheating attempts.
8. Review the cash reconciliation for the previous day. Flag any machine with a deviation above 3%.
9. Check for any error codes or warning messages on the machine display that may indicate tampering.
10. Verify that the machine’s internal clock is accurate. An incorrect clock can indicate a firmware tampering attempt.
Staff Communication
11. Brief staff on any new cheating methods or indicators reported by your anti-cheat device manufacturer or operator network.
12. Confirm that all staff members know the cheating reporting procedure and have access to the reporting form.
13. Review any staff reports from the previous day and follow up on any suspicious observations.
14. Verify that security camera systems covering the machine floor are recording properly.
15. Confirm that all cabinet keys are accounted for and that key logs are up to date.
