  • Patent number: 7927218
    Abstract: A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game includes a game display and a top box display. The game display is for displaying the wagering game. The top box display includes a standard substructure for attaching subassemblies. The substructure contains fixed connection points allowing subassemblies to be developed in a fashion consistent with the substructure, thus simplifying the ability to swap components and reducing the dependence on unique internal part designs.

  • Publication number: 20090124395
    Abstract: A gaming apparatus having a cabinet cooperatively coupled to an LCD mounting system. The LCD mounting system is carried within and mounts to an interior surface of the cabinet. The LCD mounting system is pivotable relative to and independent from the cabinet and a door mounted thereto. In this way, when the door is in an open position, a video display supported by the LCD mounting system may pivot away from the cabinet to allow access to an interior space and the components within the cabinet. Alternatively, when the door is in an open position, the video display supported by the LCD mounting system may be positioned for easy viewing and interaction while still allowing access to the interior space and the components within the cabinet.
