If you aren’t sure why instant win game security is that big of a deal, you might want to watch the new HBO docuseries called “McMillion$”. It details the strange, and almost unbelievable, true story of how an employee at a promotional marketing company called Simon Marketing, a former competitor of Marden-Kane’s, committed fraud in the McDonald’s Monopoly games between 1989 and 2001, bilking McDonald’s and their customers out of $24,000,000 in prizes. The first episode of a six-part HBO documentary series aired on Monday, February 3, 2020.
When the story of the McDonald’s fraud case first broke in 2001, it seemed unreal that a marketing partner could have been involved in such a horrendous scheme. But then, not all promotional marketing companies are created equal. Note that it took just one greedy rogue employee to destroy a company with over 2000 employees, the trust of a beloved brand, and the dreams of so many hopeful loyal customers.
Marden-Kane prides itself on adhering to the highest instant win game security standards whenever we are involved in the printing and seeding of prize winners.

It covers printed game piece security as well as electronic instant win game security. Our game security program can’t be made public – but does ensure that there are checks and balances throughout the process, from code generation, to printing, to random seeding of prizes and prize distribution. Most importantly, our integrity and reputation is beyond reproach placing the needs of the brand and their customers first.
