  • Publication number: 20240119784
    Abstract: An auxiliary bezel assembly includes first-side and second-side attachment structures, an auxiliary bezel, and a first-side and second-side attachment feature. The auxiliary bezel defines an auxiliary bezel display area and is connected to the first-side attachment structure at a first side of the auxiliary bezel display area and to the second-side attachment structure at a second side of the auxiliary bezel display area. When the auxiliary bezel is placed in an operating position on a video display device the auxiliary bezel display area overlays a portion of the video display area with the first-side attachment structure extending along a first edge of the display device and the second-side attachment structure extending along a second edge of the display device. The first-side and second-side attachment features each comprise an arrangement by which the respective attachment structure is connectable to the video display device.

  • Publication number: 20240005725
    Abstract: A lift frame is mounted on a gaming machine compartment so as to be moveable between a lift frame latched position and a lift frame raised position along a lift axis defined within the compartment. A lift frame latch is operable to selectively retain the lift frame in the lift frame latched position. A pivot frame is pivotally mounted on the lift frame so as to be pivotable between a pivot frame latched position and a pivot frame raised position about a pivot axis defined at an upper end of the lift frame. A pivot frame latch operates between the pivot frame and lift frame to selectively retain the pivot frame in the pivot frame latched position but allow the pivot frame and a gaming machine panel mounted thereon to be pivoted so as to expose a compartment front opening and provide access to the compartment interior.

  • Patent number: 10825286
    Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet defining an upper cabinet volume and a cabinet front opening to the upper cabinet volume. A video monitor is mounted on the gaming machine cabinet so that in an operating position, the video monitor registers with and covers an upper portion of a base area of a cabinet front opening. A panel is also mounted on the gaming machine cabinet so that in a panel operating position, the panel component registers with and covers a lower portion of the base area, that is, a portion of the base area immediately below the portion covered by the video monitor in its operating position. Assemblies are included which allow the video monitor to be moved to an open position vacating the base area of the cabinet front opening and allow the panel to traverse the vacated area to an open position for the panel.

  • Patent number: 10755519
    Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet defining a cabinet volume with a front access opening. A display assembly having one or more display devices is mounted on the gaming machine cabinet through a translation frame and a display assembly translation structure. The translation frame is mounted in the cabinet so as to be moveable relative to the cabinet between a frame home position and a frame raised position. The display assembly translation structure connects the display assembly to the translation frame, and is operable to move between a retracted position in which the display assembly registers with part of the cabinet access opening and an extended position in which the display assembly is separated forwardly from the front access opening by at least a cabinet access distance.
