I live in NW Ohio so I haven't observed too many SW Ohio machines. I do know the Gameworks Columbus DDR USA is legit, though. Out of the six we have here, two are legit.
Most legit machines have the reflective Konami seal on them, which means they were originally legit if they were upgraded. If the machine was upgraded, it is not legit because Konami does not deal upgrades. That's why the encryption rumor came up because if that is implemented it is going to be harder to bootleg machines. I heard they were redoing the cabinet design as well.
If the machine has mem slots, there is a greater chance it is legit, but not always, such as the case of Major Magic's, Toledo, MAX2 machine - bootleg all the way.
