Answers that make a purchasing brief stronger

What defines a good cabinet mix?

A balanced mix spans session length, player count, skill level, age appeal and redemption role.

How much service clearance is enough?

Use each cabinet drawing and preserve access for every door, filter, panel and moving assembly.

Where should the prize counter sit?

Place it where ticket redemption finishes naturally without crossing primary entry queues.

How is power planned?

Build a cabinet-level load schedule and validate circuits, outlets and local electrical requirements.

Can existing games be reused?

Yes, after condition, supportability, play data and integration requirements are reviewed.

What should staff inspect daily?

Cabinet stability, controls, guards, payment devices, playfield condition and visible faults.

How are prize costs controlled?

Review award rates, cost per ticket, stocking and guest-perceived value as one economy.

When should a floor be refreshed?

Use verified revenue, downtime, guest feedback and repair data—not age alone.

BEFORE

Catalog-led placement

Cabinets fill open spaces, service doors face walls, and the prize queue intersects guest circulation.

AFTER

Operator-led zoning

Short-play, multiplayer and redemption zones create a legible path with reachable service access.
