Electronic gaming machine with door, door stay, and door stopper

A door stay assembly, comprising:

• a first link extending along an axis and having:
• a first end and a second end,
• a first link portion having the first end,
• a second link portion having the second end, and overlapping with and slidably connected along the axis to the first link portion,
• an internal chamber at least partially defined by the first link portion and the second link portion, and
• a first block, a second block, and a compressible member positioned in the internal chamber;
• and
• a second link having a first end and a second end, wherein:
• the second end of the first link is rotatably connected to the second end of the second link,
• the compressible member is in between the first block and the second block,
• the first link is configured to have a first length and a second length longer than the first length,
• at the first length, the first block is offset from the second block by a first distance along the axis, and
• at the second length:
• the first block is offset from the second block by a second distance along the axis smaller than the first distance,
• and the compressible member is compressed by the first block and the second block.

An electronic gaming machine, comprising:

• a cabinet defining an internal compartment and an opening that provides access to the internal compartment;
• a door rotatably connected to the cabinet and configured to rotate between a closed position and an open position;
• and

• a first link extending along an axis and having:
• a first end and a second end,
• a first link portion having the first end,
• a second link portion having the second end, and overlapping with and slidably connected along the axis to the first link portion,
• an internal chamber at least partially defined by the first link portion and the second link portion, and
• a first block, a second block, and a compressible member positioned in the internal chamber;
• and
• a second link having a first end and a second end,
• wherein:
• the second end of the first link is rotatably connected to the second end of the second link,
• the first end of the second link is rotatably connected to the door,
• the first end of the first link is rotatably connected to the cabinet,
• the compressible member is in between the first block and the second block,
• the first link is configured to have a first length and a second length longer than the first length,
• at the first length, the first block is offset from the second block by a first distance along the axis,
• at the second length the first block is offset from the second block by a second distance along the axis smaller than the first distance, and the compressible member is compressed by the first block and the second block,
• in the closed position, the first link has the first length, and
• in the open position, the first link has the second length.
