Burglars now target ‘change machines’
As casinos transition away from cash in slot machines, burglars are targeting change machines. Fog cannons offer a robust defense by protecting these assets and minimizing costly damage. Industry leaders from the UK, Australia, and Denmark have shared compelling evidence of the substantial reductions in break-ins and enhanced security that fog cannons provide.
Enhancing Casino Security
Safeguarding change machines from modern burglars
Casinos no longer use cash in slot machines, so burglars now target change machines. These are valuable targets for criminals as a lot of cash is gathered in the same space. Theft of these change machines can have a financial impact due to the loss of cash. Therefore, it is important to have some sort of security system that will stop the criminal from conducting their actions.
The damage done to casinos and gaming halls can also be time-consuming, and it can lead to disruptions in the daily operations. It can take time to get a new cash machine if the old one is too damaged by the criminal, which is an essential function for the players in the gaming hall.
Some casinos still use machines where cash is stored inside. This, of course, can also be disruptive, as this is what the players come for. If the game machines are destroyed, then the customers will find another place where they are able to play the machines that they want to.

Prevent time-consuming damage
Change and gaming machines can be protected by fog cannons. A PROTECT Fog Cannon can save valuable assets and prevent time-consuming damage to the machines. This will ensure smooth daily operations, without the disruptions of not having a proactive security system. A fog cannon will activate with the alarm when an unwanted guest is detected. A thick white fog will discharge, and in a few seconds, it will be impossible to navigate the area; thereby, there is no other choice than to flee.
PROTECT Fog Cannons are a proven method already used by multiple casinos and gaming halls.
UK:
Regional Security Manager, Ray Stribley from Gala Group says that, by installing fog cannon units at 167 bingo halls, in a period of eight months Gala Group in England and Scotland reduced the break-in rate by an amazing 95%.
Australia:
Owner of Stars & Bars Casino in Australia, Andrew Roberts, says: “I can sleep peacefully at night now and I am obviously very satisfied with the protection that PROTECT™ gives – so is my insurance company, not to forget”, concludes Andrew Roberts. “Fog protection is certainly worthwhile,” says slot machine fitter, John Brochstedt from J.B. Service.
Denmark:
Kurt Nielsen from Automat Fyn nods in agreement: “After installing fog machines the burglaries stop completely.” At gaming hall Guldminen in Randers, Denmark, it took a burglar just 12 seconds to realize that he could not win over the PROTECT Fog Cannons® and he took to his heels. “This is proof positive that fog works,” says owner Torben Knudsen.
