Abstract

A gaming machine includes a vertically translating currency acceptor. The currency acceptor may be moved from a first, lowered position to a second, raised position along a substantially vertical path. The lowered position may comprise a use position where an acceptor slot of the currency acceptor is positioned for player input of currency but service access to the currency acceptor is limited. The raised position may comprise a service position where the acceptor is readily accessible for service.
