POSITIONING YOUR MACHINES
- Give AWP's pride of place over cigarette machines.
- Ensure machines are highly visible to all
customers. Good positions are en-route to the toilets or opposite the entrance doorway.
- Provide a shelf or table with ashtrays for people to put their drinks and cigarettes on.
- Leave plenty of space between Skill machines, so that 'teams' can play.
DAILY ROUTINE
Select a member of staff to be your
'Machine Guardian' someone who can 'talk-up' machines and be
responsible for:
- Knowing who plays the machines and making
sure that you have plenty of change. -Look after your Core players
- Clear away empty glasses and empty ashtrays near machines.
- Keep Access clear - especially around pool
tables. Return stools and chairs to their correct position as quickly as possible.
- Ensure that you have plenty of Pool cues, chalk and cue tips - further supplies can be attained from
B Reohorn Automatics.
- Discourage people from crowding around or sitting on the Pool Table.
- Don’t allow people to bang, kick or
abuse the machines.
- Keep machines clean and tidy - presentation
is important. Polish the glass -don't forget to clean the 'pay-out' shelf.
- Brush & re-mark (black pen) your pool
table regularly.

SECURITY
- Site your machines in view of the bar and keep an eye on them.
- Watch for suspicious behaviour- dud coins, false pay-out claims etc.
- Collections will be made on the same date each month by a member of the team that you have already met. Carefully check the ID of
any other collector and engineers.
- If in any doubt at all or if you have any concerns- call the police.
QUICK "REPAIR" GUIDE
Before calling an engineer out' please check a couple of basic things first...
- Is the plug fixed properly into the wall socket?
- Is the lead fixed securely into the back of the machine?
- Check the fuse in the plug.
- Check all doors on the machine are securely locked.
- If the fault is with a juke box - check if the 'Mute' switch is correctly positioned and the volume control is set at medium.
- If a particular CD seems to be malfunctioning - do make a note of the title or number.
- If your machine is suffering with "Sticky Buttons"-
a good blast of domestic furniture polish and a wipe with a soft
cloth will usually do the trick!
- AND FINALLY! Try turning the machine off, count to thirty and turn it back on again!
