Hey all. I am sure there is a thread about this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a place to find amperage draw from specific games? I have a friend who is planning on setting up a game room with approximately 15 games and he wants to get the room wired properly to handle the load. Thanks for any help!
 
To be on the safe side, I'd say 5 cabs per 15A circuit is best. If you have a game like an afterburner cockpit, it would probably take it's own dedicated circuit. I'm planning to have 2 20A circuits in my game room that will hold 12 or so standard cabinets. I also am having all the lighting on a separate 15A circuit.
 
Thank you guys. That is very helpful. Here is the list of games he is looking to add:


Classics: Qbert, Ms. Pac, DK, Centipede, Star Wars, 720, Dig Dug, Joust, Asteroids, Discs of Tron and Defender.

More recent: NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, 2-on-2 Open Ice. Daytona USA 2 player side by side

Modern: Big Buck Hunter Safari, Golden Tee Complete, Carnival King

Non arcade: 2 pins (likely Addams and Road Show), Super Chexx, Air hockey
