Arcade electronics, like all sensitive electronic equipment, are vulnerable to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). To protect these gaming machines, several anti-static measures are commonly employed:

1. Anti-Static Flooring and Mats: Special conductive or dissipative flooring and mats reduce static buildup around arcade machines.

2. ESD Wristbands and Clothing: Technicians and operators wear anti-static wristbands and clothing to prevent static transfer during maintenance.

3. Humidity Control: Maintaining optimal humidity levels (40-60%) minimizes static electricity generation in arcade environments.

4. Grounding Straps and Cables: Proper grounding of arcade cabinets and components ensures static charges are safely discharged.

5. Static-Shielding Bags: Sensitive parts are stored and transported in anti-static bags to prevent ESD damage.

Implementing these measures helps extend the lifespan of arcade electronics and ensures smooth gameplay for users.
