Licensed arcade operators must ensure their anti-cheat equipment complies with local regulations. This checklist covers the compliance verification process.
Regulatory Requirements
1. Confirm that your anti-cheat devices comply with your state or country’s regulations for electronic monitoring equipment on gaming machines.
2. Verify that the device does not alter the machine’s game logic, payout percentage, or random number generation.
3. Confirm that the device is classified as passive monitoring equipment, not active gaming hardware.
4. Check whether your jurisdiction requires certification or approval for add-on electronic components.
Documentation
5. Maintain records of all device installations, including serial numbers, dates, and machine IDs.
6. Keep copies of device specifications and manufacturer compliance documentation.
7. Document all firmware updates and configuration changes to protection devices.
8. Keep a log of all device maintenance and any repairs or replacements.
Reporting
9. If your jurisdiction requires reporting of cheating incidents, establish a process for documenting and submitting required reports.
10. If an audit or inspection occurs, be prepared to demonstrate that your protection equipment meets all applicable requirements.
11. Review regulatory requirements annually, as rules may change.
12. Consult with legal counsel if you are uncertain about compliance in your jurisdiction.
