Detecting cheating early requires knowing what to look for. This checklist covers the signs to watch for every week across all your machines.
Revenue Indicators
1. Cash-to-payout deviation above 3% on any machine over 7 days.
2. A machine that consistently underperforms compared to identical models on the same floor.
3. Payout patterns that cluster at specific times of day or days of the week.
4. A sudden change in payout percentage on a previously stable machine.
5. Payout log entries that do not correspond to cash collection records.
Player Indicators
6. A player who wins significantly more than statistical probability allows over multiple sessions.
7. A player who holds an electronic device near the machine panel or coin slot.
8. A player who spends more time at the machine than actively playing.
9. A player who only plays specific machines and ignores others.
10. A player who wins immediately upon sitting down, without a warm-up period.
Physical Indicators
11. Unexplained scratches, marks, or adhesive residue on machine cabinets.
12. Loose or misaligned access panels that were previously secure.
13. Cables that appear to have been disconnected and reconnected.
14. Foreign objects near the coin slot, payout tray, or ticket dispenser.
15. Anti-cheat device status lights that are off or flashing when they should be steady green.
