    摘要: A system and method for an overhead display assembly for positioning a display monitor above an electronic gaming machine are provided. The overhead display assembly may include a monitor frame securable to a display monitor, the monitor frame including at least one roller mechanism that is pivotally coupled to the monitor frame. The overhead display assembly may also include a support stanchion configured to extend vertically relative to a gaming machine, the support stanchion including an upper end that is vertically displaced above the electronic gaming machine. Finally, the overhead display assembly may include a track mechanism coupled to an upper end of the support stanchion and presenting a track portion configured to engage with the roller mechanism to support the display monitor and the monitor frame.

    摘要: An electronic gaming machine (EGM) may include one or more movable displays. One or more movable displays may be used to present a base game when in a first configuration. In response to a trigger event, the movable display(s) may reveal a game feature presentation device, such as a stationary display or a set of mechanical reels, which was hidden when the one or more movable displays were in the first configuration. The underlying game feature presentation device may be used to present a bonus feature and/or to present a different aspect of the base game. Alternatively, the movable display(s) may be hidden (e.g., inside the EGM) when in a first configuration, during which time a fixed display portion may be presenting a base game. The movable display(s) may present a bonus feature and/or a different aspect of the base game when in the second configuration.

    摘要: A button deck assembly includes a button deck having at least one mechanical pushbutton, the pushbutton includes a lens cap, a liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel, and an optical block configured to transmit images from the LCD panel for display through the lens cap, a bottom surface of the optical block is positioned on the LCD panel, an air gap is defined between a top surface of the optical block and the lens cap. The assembly also includes a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly defining a PCB aperture, the PCB aperture is sized to receive the optical block, and an elastomeric membrane defining a membrane aperture sized to receive the optical block, the optical block extends from the LCD panel through the PCB and membrane apertures, the membrane channels fluid flow to outer edges of the membrane and around the PCB assembly and the LCD panel.
