Client: A leading American arcade gaming industry group with machines deployed in entertainment venues worldwide.
Challenge: The client’s arcade game machines faced risks of high-frequency use, coin theft, and malicious tampering with game parameters. They needed extremely robust, tamper-proof locks to secure coin mechanism doors and control panels for adjusting game settings, ensuring revenue security and game fairness. The locks also had to be cost-effective to match mass production requirements.
Our Solution: We provided a complete locking package, including high-security cam locks, key switch locks with protective housings, and one-time-use anti-tamper seal strips. For coin mechanism protection, we designed cam locks with anti-drill pins and complex key patterns. The key switch locks ensured only authorized technicians could access control panels while allowing staff to power machines on/off quickly. We optimized production processes to balance strength and cost-effectiveness, supporting the client’s annual demand of 200,000 units. All locks offered multiple finish options to match the aesthetic design of different game machine series.
Results & Value: Our locks effectively reduced coin theft and game parameter fraud, with the client reporting a over 30% decrease in related maintenance incidents. The durable design extended the locks’ service life, lowering overall operational maintenance costs. We have since become the designated locking partner for the client’s new machine development phases, collaborating on integrated security modules.
