King of Treasures has carved out a solid position in the fish table market, particularly in Southeast Asian game rooms and US-based Asian arcades. Its colorful graphics, multi-tiered bonus system, and jackpot features make it a crowd favorite. Those same features also make it a prime target for cheating. The machine’s software handles multiple payout triggers — fish values, treasure chest bonuses, progressive jackpots — which gives cheaters more entry points than a simpler fish table offers.
Over the last two years, I have investigated 18 King of Treasures installations where the operator reported unexplained losses. In every case, the cheating was traceable to one of three specific methods. Here is what we found and what stops it.
Method 1: Signal Injection on the Treasure Chest Trigger
The most common attack on King of Treasures involves signal injection aimed at the treasure chest bonus round. The machine’s logic triggers a bonus when a player accumulates specific in-game conditions. A signal injector broadcasts on the same frequency the machine uses to communicate with its payout controller, triggering the bonus condition prematurely. The machine records the bonus as legitimate — it hit the right signal at the right time — but the signal did not come from the game logic.
This method is hard to detect because King of Treasures machines generate bonus rounds at variable rates. A slight increase in bonus frequency looks like normal variance, especially if the cheater keeps sessions short and moves between machines. Over a month, however, the 3-5% increase in bonus frequency translates into significant revenue leakage.
Method 2: Trojan Password Access to Payout Settings
Like many fish table platforms, King of Treasures boards include factory diagnostic menus accessible through touchscreen codes. These menus allow adjustment of payout percentages, bonus frequency, and credit multipliers. Cheaters who have obtained the default passwords — which are often shared in online forums and Telegram groups — can walk up to a machine, enter the code, and adjust the payout ratio from 30% to 90% without leaving their seat.
The machine logs the change, but the log entry looks like an operator adjustment. In a busy game room where multiple staff members have access to the machine settings, a single rogue adjustment gets buried in the daily noise.
Method 3: External USB Cheat Devices
Some King of Treasures boards have exposed USB ports behind the front panel or under the control deck. Cheaters plug pre-programmed devices into these ports — devices that look like USB drives but contain scripts that simulate high-score events. The machine reads the device as a legitimate input and awards credits accordingly. This method is less common because it requires physical access to the cabinet, but it is faster: a single plug-in session can generate hundreds of dollars in false credits in under a minute.
How to Block All Three Methods
The Gen2 anti-cheat device addresses all three methods with a single installation. For signal injection, it monitors the 300-1200MHz band and blocks unauthorized transmissions within 50 milliseconds. For trojan password access, it monitors the touchscreen input pathway and interrupts any sequence that matches known diagnostic commands. For USB-based attacks, it monitors the machine’s data buses for unexpected device enumeration events and blocks the rogue script before the board executes it.
I have seen King of Treasures operators install the device and recover their full programmed payout percentage within two weeks. The losses did not taper gradually — they stopped immediately on the first day of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can signal injection cheats work on King of Treasures from across the room?
A: Yes. A signal injector with the right frequency can trigger bonus events from up to 3 meters. The anti-cheat device covers the same range and blocks the signal before it reaches the board.
Q: How do cheaters get the trojan passwords for King of Treasures?
A: Passwords are shared in private Telegram groups, online forums, and sometimes sold in bundles. Once one person in a region obtains them, the entire network has access.
Q: Will blocking USB ports prevent normal maintenance and updates?
A: The device does not block USB enumeration entirely — it blocks scripts and commands that do not match normal maintenance patterns. Technicians can still connect legitimate devices.
Q: Is the device compatible with King of Treasures cabinets running custom software?
A: Yes. The device monitors at the signal and bus level, not the software level. It works regardless of the game software version or any custom modifications.
