Employee cheating on coin pusher machines is harder to detect than external cheating because the person doing it has legitimate access. This guide covers how to catch employees who are cheating your coin pusher machines.
Common Employee Cheating Methods
The most common method is cash skimming: collecting cash from the machine and reporting a lower amount. The employee keeps the difference. Another method is ticket theft: removing tickets from the dispenser and cashing them personally. A third method is collusion with external cheaters: providing machine access or scheduling information in exchange for a cut of the proceeds.
Detection Through Process
Separate cash handling responsibilities so no single employee has sole control over collection, counting, and deposit. Compare cash collection logs against machine payout logs. Any discrepancy indicates either external cheating or employee theft.
Using Anti-Cheat Logs
Anti-cheat device event logs provide an independent record of machine activity. Compare device logs against machine logs. If blocked events occur during specific employee shifts, that employee may be involved. Review camera footage from those timestamps.
Preventive Measures
Rotate staff positions regularly. Conduct random cash audits during operating hours. Log all key usage and machine access. Install cameras covering cash collection points. The combination of process controls and monitoring makes employee theft much harder to execute.
