Abstract: An electronic gaming machine including a cabinet defining an interior space. The electronic gaming machine also includes a door releasably fastened to the cabinet operable to move between a locked state preventing access to the interior space and an unlocked state permitting access to at least a portion of the interior space. A security housing comprising a locking assembly and an optical switch coupled to a processor. The locking assembly includes an actuator defining a channel. The optical switch comprises a transmitter and a receiver. When the door engages the locking assembly, the actuator is operable to move the channel to align with the transmitter and the receiver to form an optical path between the transmitter and the receiver through the channel and the optical switch is operable to communicate the locked state to at least one of the processor, the server computer, and the gaming system.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system that can accommodate one or more modularly replaceable topper displays. The gaming system includes a first housing proximate a second housing that has a link and a modular mounting component. The first housing includes a first display device. The second housing is configured to receive different variants of a second topper display that has common mounting components to mount on the modular mounting component. When coupled to the link, power and data are transmitted to the topper displays connected.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes an electronic gaming machine (EGM) and a stand coupled to the EGM. The EGM includes a cabinet that includes a cabinet base defining a notch therein. The stand includes a housing that defines an interior cavity and includes a housing cover. The cabinet is seated on the housing cover. The stand also includes a keeper bracket coupled to the housing cover. The keeper bracket is received within the notch to align the cabinet on the housing cover and restrain against tipping of the EGM relative to the stand.
