Single-machine and multi-machine anti-cheat devices serve different venue sizes. This guide compares both approaches.
Single-Machine Devices
Single-machine devices like the Gen1 protect one machine at a time. They are ideal for small venues with few machines, standalone machines far from others, or as a starting point for testing protection effectiveness on a single machine before expanding.
Multi-Machine Devices
Multi-machine devices like the Gen2 cover 2-3 machines in a typical layout. They reduce per-machine cost and simplify installation. Best for medium to large venues with machines in clusters or rows.
Cost Comparison
For a 15-machine venue, 5 Gen2 devices (one per 3 machines) cost less than 15 Gen1 devices. The multi-machine approach also requires fewer power outlets and less installation time.
Recommendation
Use multi-machine devices for clusters of machines. Use single-machine devices for isolated or standalone machines. A mix of both often provides the most cost-effective coverage.
