A gaming machine comprising:
- a gaming machine cabinet defining an interior;
- a bezel assembly comprising a rear bezel component and a front bezel component which is removably attachable to the rear bezel component;
- the rear bezel component including a first slot configured or designed to facilitate transport of a flexible substrate through the first slot, the first slot having a first front opening and having a first rear opening, the rear bezel component further including a first attachment interface;
- a front bezel component including a second slot configured or designed to facilitate transport of the flexible substrate through the second slot, the second slot having a second front opening and having a second rear opening which is configured or designed to interface with the first front opening in a manner which facilitates transport of the flexible substrate between the first slot and second slot, the front bezel component further including a second attachment interface;
- wherein the front bezel component is removably and directly connectable to the rear bezel component via engagement of the first and second attachment interfaces;
- wherein the first and second attachment interfaces are configured or designed to engage with each other in accordance with a plurality of different engagement configurations, including a first engagement configuration, and a second engagement configuration;
- wherein, when the first and second attachment interfaces are mutually engaged in accordance with the first engagement configuration, the front bezel component and rear bezel component are coupled together in accordance with a first coupled configuration corresponding to a first angle of coupling between the front bezel component and rear bezel component;
- wherein, when the first and second attachment interfaces are mutually engaged in accordance with the second engagement configuration, the front bezel component and rear bezel component are coupled together in accordance with a second coupled configuration corresponding to a second angle of coupling between the front bezel component and rear bezel component;
