The global pandemic has heightened awareness of hygiene, and arcade operators have adapted by implementing strict cleaning protocols to ensure player safety. Here’s how they handle machine hygiene post-pandemic:

1. Frequent Disinfection: High-touch surfaces like joysticks, buttons, and screens are sanitized multiple times daily using alcohol-based wipes or sprays.

2. Hand Sanitizer Stations: Arcades now provide hand sanitizer stations near entrances and gaming zones to encourage cleanliness.

3. Staff Training: Employees are trained in proper sanitation techniques and scheduled for regular cleaning shifts.

4. Social Distancing Measures: Some arcades space out machines or limit occupancy to reduce contact.

5. Visible Hygiene Signage: Clear signs remind visitors to sanitize hands and avoid touching their faces.

By prioritizing hygiene, arcade operators create a safer environment, ensuring players can enjoy games with peace of mind. These practices are likely to remain standard even as pandemic concerns ease.
