Abstract
A game cabinet is supported on legs that are provided with apertures for receiving fasteners such as bolts. The bolts engage mating receptacles formed on the game cabinet. The game cabinet is provided with a greater number of mating receptacles than the legs are provided with holes. Thus, the position of the legs relative to the game cabinet can be changed by aligning the holes with different receptacles thereby to adjust the height of the game.
