Licensing new games/cabinets: USA / Australia
kayser2008:
If the game is yor creation i donīt think you need any licence to sell them and to sell the cabinets neather .
Here if you make a machine and a game that are new and want to put them in public places the only thing you have to do is send a copy to a organism (I.G.J)
and if is not a gambling machine (poker etc ) they give you the ok to go and put them on public places.
JDFan:
The licenses and permits required vary by state and by the type of things you plan on doing ( ie. just selling machines, also offering Repair services, placing machines on location for others, placing machines in locations owned\operated by yourself, etc., etc.) - so your best bet is to talk to an attorney, Small Business Agency, or state Licensing Agency Rep. and find out the details for your specific state and specific plans !

I assume in the US it should be like any other small sales/manufacturing business.
But just to be sure, how about you send me one so I can give more experienced advice? ;D

If you are thinking about selling these yourself in for a retail environment, best to check all the regulations you will need to Stick to. Also thing like grounding of anything metal, choice of fasteners so parts cannot be removed or types of fasteners that could cause injury etc (hence why most retail units either have hidden fasteners or use security torx). Nothing worse than accepting you are not going to make a lot of money on a venture only to get sued for something silly.
