Safety Guidelines for Arcade Gaming Machines

Introducing arcade games to an event is a fantastic way to add excitement and entertainment. However, ensuring the safety of all participants while they enjoy these games is always of utmost importance.

At We Are Tricycle, we have endless experience in taking our arcade game machines to events of all descriptions, so when it comes to arcade machine safety, we're a company that knows what we're talking about!

Here are some of our essential safety guidelines to follow when hiring arcade game machines:

• Proper Installation and Setup: Ensure that all arcade machines, whether it’s a racing simulator or a dance machine, are properly installed and set up. This includes securing them in place to prevent tipping and ensuring all electrical connections are safe and up to code. You don't have to worry about this with us - we set up our arcade games for you, and ensure they all have up-to-date PAT certificates.
• Clear Space Around Machines: Maintain clear space around gaming machines, especially those that require physical movement like Batak Pro. This helps prevent accidents caused by tripping or bumping into the equipment.
• Regular Maintenance Checks: Before the event, check each machine for any signs of wear or malfunction. Regular maintenance ensures they are in good working condition. All the arcade machines available with us are maintained to the highest standard for your peace-of-mind.
• Supervise Young Children: Always supervise young children when they are using arcade machines like Whack-a-Mole arcade game or Pluck A Duck duck grabber. Guidance is crucial to ensure they use the machines safely.
• Hygiene and Cleanliness: Regularly clean and disinfect the machines, particularly high-touch areas like joysticks and buttons on Pixel Play classic arcade games. All of our products are cleaned between rentals to ensure the best hygiene.
• Provide Safety Instructions: Display safety instructions clearly for each game. Instructions for motion-intensive games like motion simulator should include advice on secure seating and handling sudden movements.
• Crowd Control and Monitoring: Monitor the area around popular games, such as table football or table tennis, to manage crowds and prevent over-congestion, which can lead to accidents. At high-volume events, you may need to consider crowd barrier fences.
• Emergency Procedures: Have clear emergency procedures in place. Ensure your team knows how to shut down and safely evacuate the area in case of an emergency.
• Adhere to Manufacturer’s Guidelines: Follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines for each machine. This includes weight limits and age limits, as well as any restrictions for people with medical issues.
• Accessible Design: Ensure that the setup is accessible to all guests, including those with disabilities. This may involve adjusting the placement of machines to allow for wheelchair access.
