1. Keep in touch with your Maintenance Providers, Supplier, Manufacture or Distributor. Plan with them to ensure their availability and time, for your planned switch on of equipment.
2. Find out what you could expect when your Slot Machines and Equipment is Switched Back On after 40 – 50 – 60 days. I’m sure you’ll find their advice and recommendations helpful and informative!
