A Mexican coin pusher chain achieved a 90% reduction in cheating after deploying anti-cheat protection across all locations. This case study covers their approach and results.
The Situation
A chain of 8 coin pusher venues in Mexico was experiencing widespread cheating losses. Each location had 4-8 coin pusher machines, and the chain-wide loss rate was estimated at 7% of revenue. The operators had tried staff training, camera upgrades, and physical security improvements. Nothing stopped the losses.
The cheating methods were varied. Some locations had signal injection on the coin mech line. Others had wire taps on the ticket dispenser cables. Two locations had evidence of EMP jamming. The chain needed a solution that addressed all these threats simultaneously.
The Solution
We deployed a combination of Gen2 devices for signal-level protection and K8 inline devices for machines with ticket dispensers. Each location received enough devices to cover all machines, with additional units for machines that had shown the highest loss rates.
The Results
Cheating losses dropped by 90% across all locations within 60 days of full deployment. The chain-wide loss rate fell from 7% to under 1%. The two locations with EMP jamming showed the most dramatic improvement, as the Gen2 devices detected and blocked pulses that had been running undetected for months.
Key Takeaway
A coordinated multi-location deployment is more effective than individual location purchases because it allows for standardized procedures, bulk pricing, and consistent protection quality across all venues.
