After the gaming machine island is installed, chairs, one corresponding to each gaming machine in the island, are fixed on the floor. Thus, additionally, holes are bored in the floor and the chairs are attached.
By the way, signal and power cables are connected to the gaming machine island. These cables are hung from the ceiling for wiring purpose for reasons that there is a danger that players may stumble over the cables, that exposed cables will spoil the appearance of the interior of the gaming house, etc. For example, the cables are trained over the ceiling and passed through the inside of a stainless pipe extending from the ceiling to the island top, for wiring purpose.
