Arcade magnetic card hack

I've been recently wondering is there a way to hack the magnetic cards for the arcade games. Any sort of software, this is what I succeeded to take (Pos v 2.704 b5pos01). They used magnetic reader writer on a xp windows system. Any help to hack their system would be appreciated.

I am sure this is illegal. And how the heck did an arcade center piss you off? Don't tell me you lost all your money on the claw game and you want revenge haha

No idea. If your balance is stored in their database then it's gonna be hard to hack. However if your balance is stored on the card itself then there is more hope.

Maybe it is stored on the card because it is cheaper and simpler, the machines don't need to be connected and query the database every time you use a game. However a simple magnetic reader with wifi could do this (connect to the database).

I think you would need to find out which magnetic readers they use. Also you would need to get a magnetic reader yourself to mess with the card.

Now do it for the Casino paper slips and find yourself dead under a ditch.

You seriously did this for non-educational reasons? This is fraud. It's one of the most unethical things someone could do.

This is absurd!

Can you post a tutorial for "educational purposes"? :)
