Abstract: A gaming machine including a modular cabinet system is described herein. The modular cabinet system includes a cabinet stand assembly, a control unit housing mounted on the cabinet stand assembly, and a display unit support assembly mounted to the control unit housing. The control unit housing defines an interior cavity enclosing a game control unit assembly of the gaming machine. The display unit support assembly includes a primary display support member and a primary bracket assembly slidably coupled to the primary display support member. The primary display support member defines an interior equipment cavity configured to receive the primary bracket assembly therein. The primary bracket assembly is coupled to a primary display unit of the gaming machine to support the primary display unit from the primary display support member and to allow the primary display unit to move with respect to the primary display support member.

Abstract: A display lifting system for use with a gaming machine is described herein provided. The display lifting system includes a scissor-type extension assembly, a display unit lift assembly, and a display unit support assembly. The display lifting system is configured to position a display unit between a first position having the display unit adjacent a gaming cabinet, a second position having the display unit spaced a distance from the display unit housing, and a third position having the display unit positioned nearer to a ground surface to facilitate removing the display unit from the support frame assembly.
