An arcade operator tracked the ROI of their anti-cheat investment over 12 months with detailed financial records. This case study provides real numbers from a real deployment.
The Baseline
Before installation, the operator tracked payout discrepancies for 90 days across all 15 machines. The average monthly loss was $2,800. This was the baseline against which all future measurements would be compared.
The Investment
The operator purchased 8 Gen2 devices ($240 each) and 3 K8 devices ($180 each) for a total investment of $2,460. Installation was done by the operator and took approximately 2 hours total.
The 12-Month Results
Month 1: Payout discrepancies dropped to $800. Net savings: $2,000. Month 3: Discrepancies stabilized at $400. Month 6: Cumulative savings reached $14,400. Month 12: Total savings over 12 months: $28,800 minus the $2,460 investment = $26,340 net savings. ROI: 1,070% in the first year.
Key Takeaway
The investment paid for itself within 5 weeks. Every month after that was pure profit improvement. The operator’s only regret was not installing protection sooner.
