Arcade machine networks require reliable failover systems to minimize downtime and ensure uninterrupted gameplay. The most common types of failover systems include:

1. Hot Standby Redundancy: A secondary system runs in parallel, ready to take over instantly if the primary system fails.

2. Cold Standby Redundancy: A backup system is available but requires manual activation after a failure.

3. Load Balancing: Distributes traffic across multiple servers to prevent overload and provide automatic failover.

4. Clustered Systems: Multiple servers work together, with failover automatically redirecting traffic to healthy nodes.

5. Cloud-Based Failover: Leverages cloud infrastructure for scalable and resilient backup solutions.

These systems ensure high availability, reduce downtime, and maintain a seamless gaming experience for arcade operators and players alike.
