Abstract: The video game terminal uses a center pedestal and two column members either side of the center pedestal for supporting a touch screen. The center pedestal holds the working components of the terminal including the CPU and payment acceptors. The center pedestal supports the touch screen at a raised position and the columns provide edge support of the touch screen. Preferably, an ambient light arrangement is provided either side of the terminal.

Abstract: The game terminal is designed to be structurally strong while providing good access to various electronic controls of the game and music system, and the electronic components of the payment devices. The terminal is horizontally divided into lower, mid, intermediate and upper portions. The two center portions include hinged front face panels to provide efficient access to internal components that preferably have been divided into modular components.

Abstract: A countertop video terminal uses a cooperating structural framework which receives and protects the computer control module, the touchscreen module and the financial transaction module. The touchscreen module is cantilevered from an upright tower support provided at one side of the base. The computer control module is provided on said base and is of a reduced height to define a thin rearwardly extending module. A clear gap or recess is provided between the touchscreen module and the computer control module. The touchscreen preferably partially overlaps with the financial transaction module provided in the tower support.
