This is the question I hear most often from operators who are considering anti-cheat protection for the first time. They are worried that adding a device to their fish tables will change the player experience, slow down the game, or frustrate their regular customers. The short answer is no, but let me address each concern specifically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the anti-cheat device slow down gameplay?
A: No. The device operates in milliseconds. The blocking action happens faster than the human eye can perceive. Players will not notice any delay between pressing a button and seeing the result on screen.
Q: Will legitimate players be falsely flagged as cheaters?
A: No. The device monitors signals, not players. It does not track player behavior, count wins, or flag individual sessions. A legitimate player playing normally will never interact with the device.
Q: Does the device affect the machine’s payout percentage?
A: No. The device does not alter the machine’s game logic, payout table, or random number generation. It only blocks external signals that do not belong to the machine’s normal communication. The machine’s programmed payout percentage remains unchanged.
Q: Can players tell that an anti-cheat device is installed?
A: The device is designed to be unobtrusive. It can be placed out of sight behind or under the machine. If the device is visible, it appears as a small black box with a status light. Most players will never notice it.
Q: Does the device make any noise during operation?
A: The device is silent. It has no speakers, fans, or moving parts. The only indicator is a small LED light, which shows the device status.
Q: Will the device interfere with the machine’s audio or video output?
A: No. The device monitors the communication bus between the motherboard and peripherals. It does not affect audio output, video display, or any player-facing features of the machine.
Q: If the device blocks a cheating signal, does the player see an error?
A: No. The machine continues normal operation without interruption. The cheater may notice that their device is not working (the expected win does not happen), but there is no error message or game interruption.
Q: Does the device affect ticket dispensing or coin acceptance?
A: No. Legitimate coin drops and ticket dispenses pass through without any alteration. The device only blocks signals that do not match normal machine communication patterns.
Q: Will the device work differently on different days or times?
A: No. The device operates the same way 24/7. It does not have schedules, sleep modes, or performance variations. Protection is consistent regardless of time of day, day of week, or how long the device has been running.
Q: What do players say when they notice an anti-cheat device on a machine?
A: Most players do not notice. When they do, they usually assume it is part of the machine’s normal electronics. I have never received a complaint from a legitimate player about an anti-cheat device affecting their experience.
