Smartphones have become the most versatile cheating tool available to arcade cheaters. A single phone can serve as an RF sniffer, a camera for optical capture, a communication device for receiving result data, and a reference guide for accessing trojan codes. The phone’s ubiquity makes it the perfect cover — every player carries a phone, and using it during a game looks completely natural.
Phone-Based RF Sniffing
Specialized apps installed on a smartphone can turn the phone’s built-in RF receiver into a cheating device. The app scans the frequency spectrum for signals from nearby fish tables. When a signal is detected, the app analyzes it and displays information about the machine’s operation. Some advanced apps can decode result data directly from the RF emissions. The apps are distributed through unofficial app stores and private messaging channels.
Phone-Based Optical Capture
The phone’s camera is used to capture the machine’s display image. An app analyzes the image in real time, detecting result data before the machine officially displays it. The phone is positioned at a natural angle — held in the player’s hand, resting on the machine, or propped up against a drink — and the app works in the background. The player sees the result update on their phone screen before it is visible on the machine display.
Phone as Trojan Code Reference
The cheater keeps the trojan password sequence displayed on their phone screen. They refer to the phone while entering the sequence on the machine’s touchscreen. This looks like a player checking their phone between games — completely normal behavior. The cheater enters the sequence while appearing to read a message or check notifications.
How to Shut Down Phone-Based Cheating
The Gen2 anti-cheat device blocks the RF signals that phone apps try to capture. The AI Trojan Terminator blocks trojan code entry regardless of whether the cheater is reading the sequence from a phone. Neither device can detect or block the phone itself, but they make the phone-based methods ineffective. The cheater’s phone becomes a useless accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I ban phones from the fish table area to prevent this?
A: You can try, but enforcement is difficult and may alienate legitimate customers who use their phones normally. Anti-cheat devices are a more practical solution.
Q: Do the cheating apps work on both Android and iOS?
A: Android apps are more common because Android allows sideloading from unofficial sources. iOS cheating apps are rarer due to Apple’s app restrictions.
Q: Can the Gen2 device detect which specific phone is being used for cheating?
A: No. The device blocks the signals the phone is trying to capture. It does not identify the phone itself.
Q: How do cheaters get the cheating apps?
A: Through private Telegram groups, unofficial app stores, and direct file sharing. The apps are not available through official app stores.
