Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:I had a 200amp installed. If it is 6 for 20amp, what would be 200amp? about 60 pins? I am horrible at math
200A refers to per 120V phase and there are 2 per 240V panel. (We won't get into 208Y/120V, 3-phase panels). But a 200A panel can provide 200A x 240V = 48,000W total. Let's assume each game pulls 2.5A which is 2.5A x 120V = 300W.
48,000W / 300W = 160 games. If we take into account the 80% rating then 160 x 80% = 128 games
Yeah. You are horrible at math. 
Quoted from FatPanda:At the end of the day, we decided to be practical humans.
Congrats on squeezing in two more games! That right there, folks, is how families compromise!
