Most arcades and game rooms do not run a single machine type. They operate a mixed floor — fish tables next to coin pushers, top ball machines next to roulette terminals, lottery machines next to skill games. Each machine type has a different vulnerability profile, and each requires a different anti-cheat approach. Managing separate protection strategies for each machine type can be complex and expensive. A unified anti-cheat strategy that covers all machine types is more efficient.
I have developed a unified anti-cheat strategy that I have deployed in 25+ mixed-floor venues. The strategy uses three device types — Gen2, V5, and AI Trojan Terminator — deployed across the floor based on each machine’s threat profile.
The Three-Device Strategy
The Gen2 device is the workhorse of the mixed-floor strategy. It covers signal injection (300-2400 MHz), wire-tap attacks on communication buses, ticket dispenser line monitoring, and coin mech pulse validation. It protects fish tables, coin pushers, roulette machines, and basketball arcade machines with a single device type.
The V5 anti-theft dog is deployed on top ball and lottery machines where result-leak protection requires the extended 5-8 meter coverage range and display signal line monitoring. The V5 covers the specific attack surfaces that Gen2 does not address on these machine types.
The AI Trojan Terminator is deployed on machines with diagnostic menu vulnerabilities — fish tables with touchscreen trojan codes, 8-liner skill games, and claw/crane machines. It monitors touchscreen and button inputs for diagnostic access patterns.
How to Map the Strategy to Your Floor
Walk your floor and categorize each machine by its primary threat: signal injection, data leakage, or trojan code access. Fish tables with wireless vulnerability get Gen2. Top ball and lottery machines get V5. Machines with diagnostic menu access get AI Trojan Terminator. Some machines need two devices — a fish table with both signal injection and trojan code threats gets Gen2 plus AI Trojan Terminator.
If your mixed-floor arcade is showing signs of any type of cheating across different machine types, send me a message with your machine model and a photo of your setup. I will do a quick remote check for free. Every device comes with a money-back guarantee, official invoice, express shipping, and 1-on-1 technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can one device type protect all machines on my floor?
A: No single device covers all attack surfaces across all machine types. The three-device strategy provides complete coverage without over-investing in unnecessary protection for any machine.
Q: How long does it take to deploy the full strategy across a 30-machine venue?
A: Approximately 2-3 days for a venue with 30 machines. The time depends on the mix of device types and the installation complexity per machine.
Q: Do the different device types interfere with each other if installed on adjacent machines?
A: No. The devices operate on different monitoring principles — signal monitoring, data line monitoring, and input pattern monitoring. They do not interfere.
Q: Can I start with one device type and add others later?
A: Yes. Start with Gen2 devices on your fish tables and coin pushers, then add V5 devices for top ball and lottery machines, and finally add AI Trojan Terminators for menu-vulnerable machines.
