If you suspect your arcade is losing money to cheating but you are not sure, an audit is the right first step. A cheating audit does not require specialized equipment. It starts with the data you already have: your cash collection records, machine payout logs, and maintenance history. This guide walks through the audit process step by step.
Step 1: Gather Your Data
Collect three things for each machine: cash intake records for the last 30 days, machine payout logs for the same period, and a list of any maintenance or configuration changes made during that window. You need all three to distinguish between cheating losses and operational issues.
Step 2: Compare Cash to Payouts
For each machine, calculate the percentage difference between cash intake and payout log. A gap of 2-3% is normal. Above 3% over 30 days warrants investigation. Note which machines show the largest gaps and whether the gaps are consistent or intermittent.
Step 3: Analyze the Pattern
Consistent gaps across multiple machines suggest a configuration or accounting issue. Isolated gaps on one machine suggest a hardware fault or targeted cheating. Intermittent gaps that correlate with specific times or specific players suggest external signal interference.
Step 4: Decide on Next Steps
If the data points to configuration issues, review your machine settings. If it points to hardware faults, call a technician. If it points to signal interference, install one Gen2 device on the most affected machine and monitor the event log for 30 days.
