Article: "Outfitting a space to meet the electrical needs of gaming arcades can present challenges for business owners and safety concerns for city officials who are asking for a moratorium on building permits for parlors.

Walls with double panels of drywall hiding a web of electrical wiring or overloaded electrical outlets are some of the conditions described by officers that inspect gaming rooms during police 'raids.'"

Ya know, this type of story just really chaps my hide.  In the end, it's the responsibility of the owner to make sure that they are meeting the proper requirements to run an arcade.  And any owner in his right mind is going to make sure there is enough power to run the games to avoid costly repairs on such delicate equipment.

Now, I have a feeling, this article is discussing the growing number of illegal gambling parlors being setup using 8-liners for gambling purposes.  If that's the case, I can understand the fly-by-night mentality of those that are maintaining illegal operations. That being said, it should be noted by the author(s) of such articles that the word "arcade" is not only synonymous with illegal gambling parlors.
