Benefits of technology

[0005] The present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by providing a security enclosure for a gaming machine having a main housing defining a chamber and having a major opening. A door assembly is connected to the housing and moves between an open position providing external access to the chamber and a closed position securing the major opening. The door has a number of

Problems solved by technology

Each element is narrow enough to be plated in a relatively shallow or narrow plating tank that would be inadequate to receive conventionally assembled door.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]FIG. 1 shows a gaming machine security enclosure 10 for housing a slot machine. The enclosure has a main housing 12 in the form of a box defining a chamber with an open front enclosed by a door 14. The housing has a top panel 16, a right side panel 20, a left side panel 22, back panel 24, and bottom panel 26. The housing is formed of sheet metal panels that are interconnected to each other, either by a permanent means such as welding or riveting, or by removable means such as screw fasteners.

[0010] The door 14 is a generally rectangular frame, and includes a left stile 30, right stile 32, top rail 34, bottom rail 36, and button rail 38. The stiles are substantially vertical members parallel to each other and positioned at the front edges of the side panels 20, 22 of the housing. The top rail 34 spans horizontally between the top ends of the stiles, the bottom rail 36 spans horizontally between the bottom ends of the stiles, and the button rail 38 spans horizontally between in...

Abstract

A security enclosure for a gaming machine having a main housing defining a chamber and having a major opening. A door assembly is connected to the housing and moves between an open position providing external access to the chamber and a closed position securing the major opening. The door has a number of components, at least some of which are elongated elements having fasteners at opposed end portions. At least one of the elements may be unplated or have a different surface finish, because the members may be finished prior to assembly. Each element is narrow enough to be received in a relatively shallow and narrow plating tank that would be inadequate to receive the assembled door.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to gaming machines, and more particularly to enclosures for gaming machines. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Gaming machines require secure enclosures to protect money stored inside, and to prevent tampering to generate improper pay-outs. A typical gaming machine is a “slot machine” with a housing having apertures for video monitor or reel viewing, money or card insertion, coin or token pay-out, and printed certificate or receipt production. [0003] To provide robust security, gaming machines typically employ housings that have few components, or unitary components, so that possible avenues of unauthorized entry such as seams, gaps, and the like are minimized or mitigated. A typical slot machine has a box-like housing that is open in the front, and which contains all the operational components of the machine. The front opening is secured by a “door” that is hinged to the housing, and which has a locking system to limit access to...
