A monthly cheating audit is the most effective way to catch new cheating campaigns before the losses become significant. This checklist covers the key areas to review each month.
Data Review
1. Compare each machine’s cash intake against its payout log for the last 30 days. Flag any machine above 3% deviation.
2. Review the anti-cheat device event logs for all machines. Calculate the total number of blocked events per device and identify any trends.
3. Compare this month’s blocked event count against last month’s. A significant increase may indicate a new cheating campaign.
4. Cross-reference blocked event timestamps with payout log timestamps. Correlations confirm that the blocks are protecting against real threats.
5. Review player session data if your machines log it. Look for players who appear on the same machines at the same times repeatedly.
Physical Inspection
6. Inspect all machine interiors for unauthorized devices, unusual wiring, or tamper-evident seals that have been broken.
7. Check all anti-cheat device positions and confirm they are still within coverage range of their target machines.
8. Test a sample of anti-cheat devices using your manufacturer’s recommended verification procedure.
9. Inspect coin mech cables, data cables, and power cables for signs of tampering or unauthorized attachments.
10. Verify that all cabinet locks are functioning correctly and that no keys are missing from the key log.
Staff Update
11. Review any staff cheating reports from the past month and follow up on unresolved observations.
12. Hold a brief staff meeting to share any new cheating methods or indicators identified during the month.
13. Update the staff cheating reporting process if any improvements are needed based on the month’s experience.
14. Review security camera footage from any machines that showed unexplained payout discrepancies during the month.
15. Document the audit findings and update your protection plan for the coming month.
