Quoted from PinJim83:

It doesn't seem to matter whether the game is turned on or not, the current is there regardless so long as the machine is plugged in. Any ideas on where to start?

I would start with the power box; with the game off, you should not have any voltage anywhere (except the convenience outlet) as the power switch should be a DP-DT and breaks both the hot and neutral lines to the transformer.
