Vehicle Size & Space Requirements	minimum internal length of 3.6m, width of 1.8m, and height of 2.0m.	minimum internal length of 3.6m, width of 1.8m, and height of 2.0m.-5.5m, width of 2.0m, and height of 2.2m	minimum internal length of 3.6m, width of 1.8m, and height of 2.0m.-5.5m, width of 2.0m, and height of 2.2m
Matching Reason	There is only one device with multiple seats available. Or there are two devices, each with 1-2 seats. This approach helps boost both occupancy rates and overall revenue.	This plan focuses on “high traffic + high profit” and is suitable for investors who have a stable customer base and want to occupy a larger market share. Interactive, shooting, and racing games boast higher repurchase rates; consequently, most clients opt to include these genres in their lineup. This is then complemented by high-thrill attractions designed to drive foot traffic.	Given a setup of 4 to 5 machines, two should be designated for linked competitive play, while the remainder should consist of various distinct types—specifically including one unique, brand-new title. This approach not only fosters a sense of head-to-head rivalry and offers a diverse range of gaming experiences, but also generates a fresh sense of anticipation.
