Auditing six months of arcade cash records can reveal hidden cheating losses that would never be caught by monthly or quarterly reviews. This guide covers how to conduct a deep financial audit.
Gather All Records
Collect cash intake records and machine payout logs for every machine for the past six months. You need individual machine records for the entire period. If you do not have six months of data, use whatever period is available. More data gives more reliable results.
Calculate Cumulative Loss
For each machine, add up the monthly deviations over six months. A machine that loses 2% per month loses 12% over six months. That is a significant cumulative loss that would be invisible in a single monthly review.
Identify Patterns
Look for machines that consistently show deviations above 3% month after month. These machines have been losing money for an extended period. Look for machines where the deviation started suddenly at a specific point in time. The start date may correspond to a maintenance visit, a staff change, or a new regular customer.
Correlate with Events
Cross-reference the deviation patterns with known events: machine installations, maintenance visits, staff changes, and anti-cheat device installation dates. If a machine’s deviation dropped after anti-cheat installation, the losses were likely caused by cheating. If deviations persisted after installation, the cause may be something else.
