Some operators consider closing their arcade after significant cheating losses. Anti-cheat protection offers an alternative that often saves the business. This guide compares the two options.
The Cost of Closing
Closing an arcade means losing the entire investment in machines, leasehold improvements, and inventory. It also means lost income from a potentially profitable business that is being drained by cheating. Many operators who consider closing are running profitable businesses that are masked by cheating losses.
The Anti-Cheat Alternative
Installing anti-cheat protection costs a fraction of what it costs to close a business. Most operators recover their investment within 4-6 weeks through reduced losses. After recovery, the business returns to true profitability.
Real Examples
In one case, an operator losing $5,000 per month installed protection and became profitable at $12,000 per month. In another case, a chain losing $100,000 per year across 12 locations reduced losses by 80% and kept all locations open.
Recommendation
Before closing due to unexplained losses, install anti-cheat protection and measure the results for 30 days. The data will tell you whether the business is viable. In most cases, the answer is yes.
