Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a lottery terminal designed in such a way that the touch screen and the printer cover can provide a double inclination (e.g., the printer cover may be attached to a base and may pivot relative to the base and the touch screen may be attached to the printer cover and may pivot relative to the printer cover). Another embodiment of the present invention provides an internal design that allows the lottery terminal to be ventilated without the need for fans (e.g., allowing essentially silent terminal operation). For example, the motherboard, CPU and chipset heat sink design, in conjunction with the internal configuration and the external design may allow the lottery terminal to be ventilated via use of one or more holes in the bottom and the back side of the lottery terminal.
