  • BARTOP GAMING UNIT
    Publication number: 20260105801
    Abstract: A bar top gaming unit is configured to be mounted to or in a support surface such as a bar top. The unit has a housing and a top door which is movable between open and closed positions for accessing the interior of the housing. A biasing element such as a strut generates a biasing force to aid in opening of the top door, wherein the biasing element extends at a negative angle when the top door is in a closed position. The unit includes a player tracking unit which is mounted independently of the top door, allowing the top door to be opened and closed without removing or moving the player tracking unit. At least a portion of the periphery of the top of the top door may be defined by a peripheral edge of a video display cover panel, which may also be edge lit.
