Coin pushers present a unique anti-cheat challenge because they are vulnerable to both electronic attacks and physical manipulation. This complete handbook covers every protection strategy for coin pusher operators.
Electronic Threats
The most common electronic attack on coin pushers is signal injection on the coin mech line. A small battery-powered device clips onto the coin mech cable and sends fake coin pulses. The machine registers credits without any money being dropped. The cheater plays for free and cashes out winnings from real cash. This method is cheap, effective, and leaves no physical evidence on the machine.
Protection requires a device that monitors the coin mech line for unauthorized signals. The Gen1 device provides this protection for a single machine. The Gen2 covers multiple machines and also blocks wireless attacks like EMP pulses and signal jammers.
Physical Threats
Physical manipulation includes wires, strings, and magnets used to retrieve coins or trigger sensors. These methods cannot be stopped by electronic protection alone. Countermeasures include tamper-evident seals on coin mech access panels, lockable payout trays, and staff training to recognize manipulation tools and techniques.
Combined Protection Strategy
For complete coin pusher protection, combine three layers: a Gen1 or Gen2 device on the coin mech line for electronic protection, tamper-evident seals and good cabinet locks for physical protection, and daily cash reconciliation to catch any losses that slip through both layers.
