I keep it to 5 per 20 amp and haven't blown a breaker yet. Mostly LED games and all eras. And that's with them all being played at once too and some having magnets.

Quoted from tilted81:Sealclubber is on track. Just because it's a 20 amp breaker doesn't mean you have 20 amp outlets. More often than not they are 15 amp outlets.. i would not plug 5 games into a single outlet and play them all at the same time. I have run 6 dmd games off 1 20 amp breaker plugged into 4 separate outlets without issue. If your running everything off 1 outlet I'd advise spending a couple bucks for an electrical upgrade, before risking Any other damage
What's the issue with one outlet per breaker? I thought it was more convenience than anything. I have five games in a surge protector plugged into one outlet that is ran by one 20 amp breaker. This is the only outlet on that breaker.
Quoted from Langless28:If there is only one outlet on a 20 amp breaker, the outlet must be rated for 20 amps per NEC. We are allowed to use 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp branch circuit because the notion that your never only going to use one outlet.
Oh okay. But since I have a 20amp outlet I'm good?
