A hands-on guide to building a field support kit for pop-up pokies — printers, relays, backups and checklists to avoid activation failures.

Field Support Kit for Pokie Pop‑Ups: Portable Printers, Edge Relays and Power (2026)

Hook: The difference between a successful pop-up and a disaster is often a small, forgotten component in your field bag — portable printers, edge relays, and power backups.

Essential Items

  • Portable thermal printer for receipts and voucher confirmations.
  • Edge relays to bridge spotty mobile connectivity.
  • Battery backups or compact solar chargers; see the field guide for recommended combos (Field Guide: Solar & POS Combos).
  • A QuickConnect-style secure kiosk or backup payment app (QuickConnect Field Review).

Operational Tips

  1. Label cables and maintain a single source of truth for firmware versions.
  2. Run a 30‑minute rehearsal with staff to rehearse refunds and voucher scans.
  3. Pack a printed flowchart for offline reconciliation; include simple refund steps.

Final Note

Small investments in field reliability reduce lost revenue and player frustration — treat your field kit as a product component.
