What was the purpose of the metal plates ops would put on the lower-front of cabs? Was it to mask damage, to keep hooligans from scratching it up with their shoes? I see them on a lot of cabs these days and I've always wondered but never found a clear answer, maybe an op here has some insight?
 
yep, a kickplate does exactly what the name implies...helps prevent damage from people kicking it.
 
Ask yourself this.....what was right behind that metal plate back in an arcade? A box full of money.

Any time a game seems to be armored, that's almost always exactly what it's for.
