During this time of upheaval to our trading conditions, it’s time to begin planning and implementing a return to acceptable trading conditions as quickly as possible. In the short-to-medium term, it seems inescapable that you will need to make significant changes to the way you present gaming machine products to your customers.

Many venues have begun re-designing their gaming machine areas, modifying machine bases and moving their machines to achieve compliance with the social-distancing rules. In many cases, such measures will involve considerable inconvenience and cost and those imposts will need to be duplicated when the time comes to re-locate everything. As well, the initiatives will also likely limit the number of games available to your patrons.

If the restrictions will be with us for some time, it may be worthwhile to consider an alternative solution that may have more merit?

The Progaard Group, a business established by my family members, offers affordable products to help you protect your gaming machine patrons. ScreenGaard is a simple, cost-effective solution aimed at preserving your gaming machine installation and helping to overcome the social-distancing rules, if approved. Many retail businesses are using screens as a legitimate way of achieving protection for their customers despite the 1.5 metre rule.

The SanGaard dispenser and consumables also offer a novel way to service your gaming machine players adding an extra level of confidence concerning their protection.   

The Northern Territory government has already moved to promote such solutions in its gaming machine venues which promises to be a forerunner to acceptability in other States and the A.C.T.
