Gaming systems, electronic gaming machines, and mounting assemblies for electronic display device arrangements

A method of mounting an electronic display assembly to a cabinet of an electronic gaming machine, the electronic display assembly including a display housing and a video display panel mounted to the display housing, the video display panel being configured to display aspects of a wagering game, the method comprising:

• providing a mounting bracket assembly including first and second bracket members, the first bracket member being attached to the display housing, the second bracket member being attached to the gaming cabinet, the first bracket member including a first connecting plate with a first ramped channel and a first stopping member, and the second bracket member including a second connecting plate with a first ramped rail and a second stopping member, the second bracket member rotatably and directly attached to the gaming cabinet to pivot about a horizontal axis;
• sliding the first ramped rail of the first bracket member into the first ramped channel of the second bracket;
• and
• then, continuously assisted by the force of gravity, lowering the display housing, guided by the ramped rail and ramped channel, until the first stopping member engages with the second stopping member;
• and
• pivoting the display assembly about a horizontal axis between a first generally oblique open position with respect to the gaming cabinet, whereat the electronic display assembly is mountable to the gaming cabinet, to a second generally vertical closed position with respect to the gaming cabinet, whereat the electronic display assembly is irremovably secured to the gaming cabinet.

A mounting bracket assembly for mounting an electronic display assembly to a cabinet of an electronic gaming machine, the electronic display assembly including a display housing and a video display panel mounted to the display housing, the mounting bracket assembly comprising:

• a first bracket attached to the display housing, the first bracket including a first connecting plate with a first ramped channel and a first stopping member;
• and
• a second bracket attached to the gaming cabinet, the second bracket including a second connecting plate with a first ramped rail and a second stopping member,
• wherein the electronic display assembly is mounted onto the gaming cabinet by sliding the first ramped rail of the first bracket into the first ramped channel of the second bracket;
• and the electronic display assembly, under the continuous force of gravity, is then guided by the first ramped rail and first ramped channel until the first stopping member engages with the second stopping member;
• and
• wherein the second bracket is rotatably and directly attached to the gaming cabinet to pivot about a horizontal axis between a first generally oblique open position with respect to the gaming cabinet, whereat the electronic display assembly is mountable to and removable from the gaming cabinet, and a second generally vertical closed position with respect to the gaming cabinet, whereat the electronic display assembly is irremovably secured to the gaming cabinet.
