The original floor plan used a chaotic, un-zoned grid layout where low-yielding video cabinets crowded the entrance, and premium prize machines were hidden away in dark rear corners, causing massive traffic bottlenecks and short player session times.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"84\"><b data-path-to-node=\"84\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Spatial Re-Engineering Protocol with Galastar Infrastructure<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"85\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"85,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"85,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Phase 1: Threshold Re-Zoning:<\/b> The management team cleared the low-earning equipment away from the front corridor and deployed high-visibility, premium Galastar visual anchor prize units right on the entrance line to capture passing mall shoppers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"85,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"85,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Phase 2: Sightline Height Optimization:<\/b> Equipment was reorganized by height.
