Some Basic Tips on Gameroom Design:
	Space - Be sure that your game room has the needed height for larger-sized games. Most rooms do, but it is always a good idea to check first. Also check to be sure that the games you order will have at least 2" clearance on each side for any game that will need to be moved through a door, a stairway or stairwell to get inside your gameroom area..
	Electricity - 99% of our games use the standard three-prong 110V household electrical socket. Make sure you have enough sockets and that you use a top quality surge protector on all your games to prevent electrical damage from lightening strikes, brownouts and electrical surges. And for gamerooms with more than 10 games, a second electrical circuit may need to be installed by your local electrician,  for approximately $75 to $175 dollars.
	Windows - To preserve the appearance of your game, try not to subject your game's cabinet to direct, unfiltered sunlight. The UV rays in direct sunlight can fade your game's cabinet artwork and graphics over time. If game must be placed near a window with direct sun, consider getting a UV window protection tint or use blinds or curtains to block direct sun from shining on your game.
	Temperature - Although you are buying a commercial-grade machine, it is best to insure that the constant temperature in the area you wish you store or play your games does not normally fall below 50° nor rise above 90° on a consistent basis. Extreme cold or heat over an extended period can be harmful to your game.
