  • Patent number: 11151833
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming machine display device mount system including a mount frame that slidably interconnects with a receiver bracket installed in a cabinet of a gaming machine. A display device is attached to the mount frame and, prior to assembling the mount frame to the receiver bracket, the cabling of the display device is coiled and contained within a portion of the mount frame. The display device and the mount frame together form a display mount assembly, which is then interconnected with the receiver bracket 128 in the gaming machine. Once interconnected, the mount frame is fastened to the receiver bracket from the interior compartment of the gaming machine providing a secure tamperproof assembly. The gaming machine display device mount system allows a single installer to assemble the display mount assembly to the gaming machine safely and without assistance.
