Abstract
An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet having an internal frame and a pair of retractable wheel assemblies mechanically coupled to the internal frame. Each retractable wheel assembly includes a first retractable wheel, and a second retractable wheel. The first retractable wheel and the second retractable wheel are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The first and second retractable wheels of each of the pair of retractable wheel assemblies support the cabinet above an external surface when each are in the extended position, thereby facilitating movement of the cabinet across the external surface. Further, the first and second retractable wheels of each of the pair of retractable wheel assemblies allow the cabinet to contact the external surface when each are in the retracted position.
