Abstract: Dual-latch mechanisms are provided that allow two (or more) latches to be simultaneously released in response to a single input received via an actuator.

Abstract: There is provided a structure and method for mounting a gaming machine to a stand. The gaming machine includes a cabinet. The structure includes first and second mating panels. The first mating panel is removably attached to a bottom end of the cabinet. The second mating panel is removably attached to a top of the stand. After the first and second mating panels are attached to the cabinet and stand, respectively, the gaming machine is lifted onto the stand, and the first and second mating panels are slidably engaged. After the first and second panels are fully mated to each other, the first and second mating panels are locked in place with, for example, a lock screw inserted, from inside the cabinet, through the first mating panel and the second mating panel.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a display housing that may include a display mount interface configured to securely mount a main display module and a housing extension interface at a first side of a bottom end of the display housing. The housing extension interface may be configured to securely mount a housing extension to the display housing. The apparatus may further include at least one stabilizer connected with the display housing and configured to be movable between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. When in the deployed configuration, the stabilizer may extend outward from a second side opposite the first side of the bottom end of the display housing by at least a predetermined amount. When in the stowed configuration, the stabilizer may not extend outward from the second side of the housing by the predetermined amount.

Abstract: Dual-latch mechanisms are provided that allow two (or more) latches to be simultaneously released in response to a single input received via an actuator. Also disclosed are multiple-actuator systems with common locking elements that may simultaneously lock and unlock the multiple actuators via an input or inputs provided at a centralized location.

Abstract: A gaming device includes a cabinet defining an internal cavity therein, a door sized to cover at least a portion of the internal cavity, and a hinge assembly removably coupling the door to the cabinet. The hinge assembly includes a hinge body that includes a first section coupled to the cabinet by a pivot coupling and extending radially outward from the pivot coupling. The hinge body further includes a second section connected to the first section, where the second section contains a slot for receiving at least a portion of the door therein.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a monitor subassembly, a game control core, and a structural frame that may be manufactured and shipped separately to a final destination and assembled on-site. The gaming machine components include integral features and components that facilitate a novel and efficient assembly process.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet at least partially defining a cavity opening and an internal cavity at least partially visible through the cavity opening, a primary display, a secondary display positioned within the internal cavity and visible through the cavity opening, a display movement assembly coupled to the primary display, and logic circuitry. The display movement assembly selectively moves the primary display between an open position and a closed position in which the primary display blocks visibility through the cavity opening. The logic circuitry causes the primary display in the closed position to present a first portion of a game, causes the display movement assembly to move the primary display to the open position to expose the cavity opening and the secondary display, and, in response to the secondary display being exposed, causes the secondary display to present a second portion of the game.

Abstract: Disclosed are a gaming terminal, a gaming cabinet and a gaming machine that include a housing having gaming components therein. The housing includes a door opening for accessing gaming components inside the housing and a door assembly having an open position that exposes the door opening, and a closed position that covers the door opening. At least one pair of externally mounted swing arms connect the door assembly to a biasing lift assembly within the housing. When the door assembly is in the closed position and a latching assembly is released, the biasing lift assembly urges the door assembly toward the open position.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating access to content using availability information. Content programs are determined based at least in part on a prior selection of one or more of the content programs from a content catalog by a user. Content availability data is obtained from multiple content providers. Availabilities of each content program are determined based at least in part on the content availability data. A user interface is generated that presents the respective availabilities of each of the content programs through the corresponding interfaces of some or all of the content providers.

Abstract: Customer-annotated catalog pages enable a user of a merchant website to annotate an image that illustrates one or more items found within an electronic catalog. This annotation may include associating an illustrated item with a hyperlink to a page that is associated with the illustrated item. This annotation may also include commenting on the illustrated item or describing the image as a whole. In some instances, the user may herself upload the image to the merchant web site to enable this annotation. Additionally, other users of the merchant website may comment on the image, the illustrated items, or may associate hyperlinks to associated pages for one or more of the illustrated items. By providing such customer-annotated catalog pages, users of the merchant website are able to view a group of potentially-related items and are able to easily navigate to these items' associated pages within the electronic catalog or otherwise.
